Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injury in the
event of an accident and to achieve
maximum effects of the restraint sys-
tem, all passengers should seat in an
upright position in front and rear
seats when the vehicle is in motion.
Proper protection cannot be provid-
ed, when an occupant lies on rear
seats, or when a seat is reclined.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addi-
tion, care should be taken not to
damage seat belts or belt assem-
blies by seat hinges, doors or other
abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be checked on a
regular basis for any wear-out or
damage. Any damaged parts should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. When belts become dirty, clean
them with mild soap and warm water.
Bleach, dye, strong detergents or
abrasives should not be used,
because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
An entire seat belt assembly should
be replaced after an accident. This
should be done, even when no dam-
age is visible. Consult an authorized
EQUUS dealer for additional ques-
tions about the seat belt operation.
2-32
Safety system of your vehicleRiding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event
of a collision or sudden stop.
The protection of your restraint
system (seat belts and air bags)
increasingly reduces, when
your seat is reclined. A seat belt
must be snug against your hips
and chest to properly operate.
The more a seatback is
reclined, the greater the chance
that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap portion of a
seat belt, causing serious inter-
nal injury or hard pressure on
the occupant's neck from the
shoulder portion of a seat belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their
seats, be properly belted, and
put their seatbacks upright.
DANGER

Check fuse "BRAKE SWITCH"
This warning message illuminatesif the brake switch fuse is discon-
nected.
You need to replace the fuse with a new one. If not possible, you can
start the engine by pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button for 10
seconds in the ACC position.
Turn on "FUSE SWITCH"
This warning message illuminatesif the fuse switch under the steer-
ing wheel is OFF.
You should turn ON the fuse switch.
❈ For further information, refer to
“Fuses” in the chapter 7.
Low Tire Pressure
This warning message illumi-
nates, when the tire is under-inflat-
ed with the Engine Start/Stop but-
ton ON.
❈ For further information, refer to
"Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)" in the chapter 6.
Check Fuel Cap
This warning message illumi-
nates, when the fuel filler cap is
open or is not securely tightened.
Securely close the fuel filler cap.

“Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the chapter 6.
This warning light remains ON after
flashing for approximately 60 sec-
onds, or it repeatedly flashes an
interval of approximately three sec-
onds:
There is a malfunction with the

Convenient features of your vehicle
- Safe Stopping
The TPMS cannot alert you to a
severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors.
When any vehicle instability is noticed, immediately take your
foot off the accelerator, gradu-
ally apply the brakes with light
force, and slowly move to a
safe place off a road.
WARNING

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The ABS continuously monitors the
wheel speed. When the wheels are
about to be locked, the ABS system
repeatedly modulates the hydraulic
brake pressure to the wheels.When you depress brake pedals in
conditions, which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a snapping
sound or feel like that from the
brakes. This is normal and indicates
your ABS is active.
In order to obtain the maximum ben-
efit from your ABS in an emergency
situation, do not attempt to modulate
your brake pressure or to pump your
brakes. Press your brake pedal as
hard, as possible, or as the situation
allows, in order for the ABS to control
the power delivery to the brakes.
Information
A clicking sound may be heard in the
engine compartment, when the engine
is started, and the vehicle begins to
move. These conditions are normal
and indicate that the anti-lock brake
system properly operates.
Even with the anti-lock brake sys-
tem, your vehicle still requires a
safe braking distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
Always slow down the speed when cornering. The anti-lock brake sys-
tem cannot prevent accidents
resulted from an excessively high
speed.
On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake
system may result in a longer brak-
ing distance than the one of a vehi-
cle equipped with a conventional
brake system.
i
5-26
Driving your vehicle
ABS (or ESC, Electronic
Stability Control system) can-
not prevent accidents caused
by improper or dangerous driv-
ing maneuvers. Even though
you have more control over the
vehicle with emergency brak-
ing, always maintain a safe dis-
tance between you and objects
ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced in extreme
rough road conditions. The
braking distance of an ABS(or
ESC)-equipped vehicle may be
longer than the one of a ABS-
unequipped vehicle in the fol-
lowing road conditions. In these
conditions the vehicle should
be driven at a reduced speed:
A road surface is rough, or it is covered with gravel or
snow
Tire chains are installed
The road surface is pitted or uneven.
The safety performance of an
ABS(or ESC)-equipped vehicle
should not be tested by driving
at a high speed or cornering.
This may put you and others in
danger.
WARNING

The system may not properlyoperate, when the bumper is
replaced, or when a repair work
is done near the sensor.
The sensing range differs according to the roads width.
When the road is narrow, the
system may detect other vehi-
cles in the next lane.
On the contrary, when the road is wide, the system may not
detect other vehicles.
The system may be turn OFF due to the strong electromagnet-
ic waves.
Non-operating condition
Driver's Attention
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not properly operate to
assist the driver.
- The vehicle drives on a curved roador through a tollgate.
- The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
- The rear bumper, in which the sen- sor is located, is covered or blocked
with a foreign matter such as a
sticker, a bumper guard, a bicycle
stand, etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the original
default position.
- The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a
trunk, abnormal tire pressure, etc.
- The vehicle drives in a bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.
- There is a fixed object near the vehicle, such as a guardrail.
- A huge amount of metal sub- stances are near the vehicle, such
as in a construction site.
- A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
- A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
- A flat trailer like vehicle is near.
- When the other vehicle passes by very fast.
- When changing lanes.
- When going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is differ-
ent.
NOTICE
5-63
Driving your vehicle05
The warning light on the out- side rearview mirror and the
head-up display will illumi-
nate whenever an approach-
ing vehicle behind is detected
by the system.
To avoid an accident, do not
pay too much attention to the
warnings, and do not neglect
to take a look around.
Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with the
BSD system. Do not rely sole-
ly on the system. Check the
road conditions before chang-
ing the lanes.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions.
Thus, take a look around.
