Vacuum Troubleshooting
DO NOT use with any opening blocked. If an
object becomes lodged in the hose, attempt to
fully extend the hose in a straight line while the
vacuum motor is running. If this does not
dislodge the object, turn the vacuum OFF and
remove the hose from the vehicle using the
subsequent removal instructions. If the filter is
clogged, follow the emptying debris bin proce -
dure and lightly tap the filter on the collection
bin to remove any collected debris from the
filter. Both the bin and the filter can be rinsed
with water if needed. To avoid mold and stale
odors, allow both to dry completely before rein -
stalling in your vehicle. If the filter has tears,
holes or other damage and needs to be
replaced, please contact an authorized dealer.
If there are any other issues with your vacuum,
contact an authorized dealer. Your vacuum has
no user serviceable parts.
Debris Bin
The debris bin is located behind the access panel
behind the third row seat on the driver’s side.
To Empty
1. Push power button to turn vacuum OFF.
2. Open the access panel by pulling the finger grip towards you and then pull downward.
Vacuum System Access Panel
Do not vacuum toxic material such as chlorine
bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.
Do not vacuum hard or sharp objects such as
glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
Only use with filter in place. Periodically check
that the filter is in place and in good condition.
WARNING!
This equipment incorporates parts such as
switches, motors, or the like that tend to
produce arcs or sparks that can cause an
explosion. When using your vacuum near
gasoline-dispensing equipment or service
stations, park vehicle at least 20 ft (6 m) away
from the exterior enclosure of any dispensing
pump. The vacuum is mounted more than
18 inches (45 cm) above ground level in your
vehicle.

Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various brake
functions, including brake fluid level and
parking brake application. If the brake
light turns on it may indicate that the
parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level
is low, or that there is a problem with the Anti-Lock
Brake System reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has
been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full
mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or
that a problem with the Brake Booster has been
detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) /
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condition has
been corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation
may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking
capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the
hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual
brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning
Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level
in the master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD
failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along
with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS
system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF
position to the ON/RUN position. The light should
illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light
should then turn off unless the parking brake is
applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does
not illuminate, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer. The light also will turn on when the parking brake
is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake appli
-
cation.
Door Open Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate when a
door is ajar/open and not fully closed.
This indicator will reflect which doors
are open.
NOTE:If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a single
chime.
Electric Power Steering Fault Warning
Light
This warning light will turn on when
there's a fault with the Electric Power
Steering (EPS) system Ú page 143.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You
could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked
immediately.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could
pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service
should be obtained as soon as possible.

AutoPark In Stop/Start Autostop Mode
AutoPark will engage when all of these condi
-
tions are met:
Vehicle is equipped with a gear selector
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less
Driver’s door is ajar
Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled or brake pedal is
not pressed
The message “ AutoPark Engaged ” will display in
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a substitute
for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle to
guard against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to
move the transmission gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
exiting the vehicle.
The transmission may not engage PARK if the
vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a
complete stop before shifting to PARK, and
verify that the transmission gear position indi -
cator solidly indicates PARK (P) without
blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is completely
stopped, and the PARK position is properly
indicated, before exiting the vehicle.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly
pressing the brake pedal.
WARNING!
Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all
vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while
the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle,
always come to a complete stop, then apply
the parking brake, shift the transmission into
PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the
ignition is in the OFF position, the transmis -
sion is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle
against unwanted movement.
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis -
sion gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle
(or in a location accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
