(Continued)
• No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front panel above the glove
box, because such an object
may cause harm in a crash
severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy.
• Never place covers, blankets
or seat warmers on the pas-
senger's seat. These may
interfere with the occupant
classification system.
• Do not modify or disconnect
the SRS wirings or other SRS
components.
Doing so may result in injury,
due to an accidental air bag
deployment or the deactivated
SRS.
• When the SRS air bag warning
light
remains
while driving, have an author-
ized EQUUS dealer inspect
the air bag system as soon as
possible.
• Air bags can be used only
once – have an authorized
EQUUS dealer replace the air
bag immediately after deploy-
ment.
• The SRS is designed to
deploy front air bags only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe, and when the impact
angle is smaller than 30° from
the forward longitudinal axis.
In addition, air bags will inflate
only once. Seat belts must be
fastened at all times.
Safety system of your vehicle
(Continued)
• Front
designed
side/rear impacts or a rollover.
In addition, front air bags will
not deploy in a frontal crash,
when an impact severity is
below the deployment thresh-
old.
• Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
classification system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat.
A child restraint system must
never be installed in front. An
infant or child may be severe-
ly injured or killed by an air
bag deployment in case of an
accident.
• Children age 12 and under
must
restrained in a rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
illuminated
the front passenger's seat. In
case that a child over the age
of 12 is seated in the front
passenger's seat, the child
must be properly fastened
and the seat should be moved
to the rearmost position.
• To maximize protection and to
minimize the possibility of
serious injury or death in all
types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver
should always fasten a seat
belt regardless of the air bag
installment in their seats. Do
not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to an air bag while the
vehicle is in motion.
