Safety features of your vehicle
60 3
(Continued)
• Front and side air bags can
injure occupants improperly
positioned in the front seats.
• Move your seat as far back as
practical from the front air
bags, while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
• You and your passengers
should never sit or lean unnec-
essarily close to the air bags.
Improperly positioned driver
and passengers can be severe-
ly injured by inflating air bags.
• Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in
an upright position.
• Do not allow an adult passen-
ger to ride in the front seat
when the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator is illumi-
nated, because the air bag will
not deploy in the event of a
moderate or severe frontal
crash.

• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box, because any such
object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bags
to deploy.
• Never place covers, blankets or
seat warmers on the passen-
ger seat as these may interfere
with the occupant classifica-
tion system.
• Do not tamper with or discon-
nect SRS wiring or other com-
ponents of the SRS system.
Doing so could result in injury,
due to accidental deployment
of the air bags or by rendering
the SRS inoperative.

• If the SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have an
authorized EQUUS dealer
inspect the air bag system as
soon as possible.
• Air bags can only be used once
– have an authorized EQUUS
dealer replace the air bag
immediately after deployment.
• The SRS is designed to
deploy the front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe and when the impact
angle is less than 30° from the
forward longitudinal axis of
the vehicle. Additionally, the
air bags will only deploy once.
Seat belts must be worn at all
times.
• Front air bags are not intend-
ed to deploy in side-impact,
rear-impact or rollover crash-
es. In addition, front air bags
will not deploy in frontal
crashes below the deploy-
ment threshold.
