over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the
front panel above the glove

may cause harm in a crash,
which is severe enough to

• After the air bags inflate,
those must be replaced by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
• Do not modify or disconnect
SRS wiring and other compo-
nents. Doing so may result in
injury, due to inadvertent air
bag inflation or the deactivat-
ed air bag system.
• When components of the air
bag system are to be discard-
ed, or when the vehicle must
be scrapped, certain safety
precautions
observed. An
EQUUS dealer knows these
precautions and can give you
the necessary information.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions and procedures may
increase the risk of personal
injury.
• When your vehicle is flooded
and the floor mats are soaked,
you should not attempt to
start the engine. Have the
vehicle towed to an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
