This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle's
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was travel- ing.
These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However,
other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, could combine the EDR data
with the type of personally identi-
fying data routinely acquired dur-
ing a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.

❈ The actual shape may differ from the illustration.
The parking assist system helps the
driver in parking the vehicle by beep-
ing the buzzer, when any object is
sensed within 39 in (100 cm) from a
vehicle in front or 47 in (120 cm) from
a vehicle behind.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem, which is not designed to be and
cannot be replaced with driver's
extreme care and attention.
The sensing range and detectable
objects by the sensor is limited.
Whenever parking the vehicle, pay
as much attention to what is in front
of and behind your vehicle, as you
would drive without a parking assist
system.

The parking assist system
should be considered only as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the front and
rear views. The operational func-
tion of the parking assist system
can be affected by many factors
and surrounding conditions, so
the responsibility should always
be held by the driver.
WARNING
Information
This system can only sense objects
within the certain range and location.
it cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed. Also,
the sensor may not detect small and
slim objects, or objects located in
blind spots between sensors.
Always check the presence of any
objects in front of or behind the vehi-
cle with your eyes when parking.
Make sure to inform these system
capabilities and limitations to any
drivers of this vehicle who may be
unfamiliar with the system.
Self-diagnosis
If you do not hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting the gear to
the R (Reverse) position, this may
indicate a malfunction with the rear
Parking Assist System. In this case,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized EQUUS dealer as soon
as possible.

Convenient features of your vehiclePay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always
make sure that the vehicle
stands clear of all objects with
your eyes before moving the
vehicle in any direction.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to the
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.
WARNING
The Multi-view Camera System can
assist in parking by allowing the driv-
er to see around the vehicle. Press
the button to turn ON the system. To
turn OFF the system, press the but-
ton again.
Operating conditions
- When the Engine Start/Stop but-ton is ON
- When the shift lever is in the D, N or R position
- When the vehicle speed is below 12.4 mph (20km/h)
Information
• When vehicle speed is over 12.4 mph(20km/h), the multi-view camera
system will turn off. The system will
not automatically turn on again,
even though vehicle speed gets
below 12.4 mph (20 km/h). Push the
button again, to turn on the system.
• When the vehicle is backing up, the multi-view camera system will turn
ON regardless of vehicle speed or
button status. However, if vehicle
speed is over 6.2 mph (10 km/h)
when driving forward, the system
will turn off.
• A warning appears on the system in one of the following situations:
- The trunk is opened
- The driver's door is opened
- The passenger's door is opened
- The outside rearview mirror isfolded
• When the multi-view camera system does not normally operate, have the
system checked by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.

Driving your vehicle
Never press the Engine Start/Stop button while the
vehicle is in motion except in
an emergency situation. This
would turn the engine OFF,
resulting in loss of power
assist for the steering wheel
and brake. This may lead to
loss of directional control and
braking function, which could
cause an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Before leaving the driver’sseat, always make sure the
shift gear is engaged in P
(Park), fully set the parking
brake and turn the engine
OFF. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement may occur
if these precautions are not
taken.
Never touch the Engine Start/Stop button, or any other
controls on the steering wheel
while the vehicle is in motion.
Reaching out for those con-
trols with your hand or arm
may cause a loss of vehicle
control, an accident, serious
bodily injury or death.
Do not place any loose objects around the driver’s
seat, as they may toss about
while driving, interfering with
the driver's pedal operation
and leading to an accident.
