INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
The courtesy light switches are used to turn the courtesy
lights on/off.

Courtesy Light Switches

To operate the courtesy lights, push either the driver or
passenger light switch.
NOTE:
Before exiting the vehicle, make sure that the interior
lights are turned off. This will prevent the battery from
discharging once the doors are closed.
 If a light is left on, it will automatically be turned off
approximately 10 minutes after the ignition is placed in
the OFF position.
Rear Courtesy/Reading Lights —
If Equipped
Located above the rear passengers are courtesy/reading
lights. The lights turn on when a front door, a sliding door
or the liftgate is opened. If your vehicle is equipped with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) the lights will also turn on
when the unlock button on the key fob is pushed.
The courtesy lights also function as reading lights. Push
the lens to turn these lights on while inside the vehicle.
Push the lens a second time to turn each light off.
Dimmer Controls
The dimmer controls are part of the headlight switch, and
are located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel.

LED Indicator Status:
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a device.
 Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
 Red Light/Flashing: Internal error or foreign object is
detected.
Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:
 The wireless charging pad will not work if any of the
four doors or the liftgate are open, even if the engine is
running.
 Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is
connected to a wired charger.
 The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.
 iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with soft -
ware to protect the device from overheating. When the
software is active, the rate of charge is slowed down to
protect the device.
 Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so
that its charging parts connect with the charging coils
of the system. Movement of the phone during charging
may prevent or slow the rate of charge.
 Having multiple applications open on the phone while
charging will reduce the charging efficiency, and may
even shut down an application that is actively running
(i.e. Apple CarPlay®). This may also cause the phone to
overheat.
 Wireless chargers may implement certain methods to
prevent the phone from overheating during charging
such as slowing down the rate of charge. In certain instances, the device may shut down for a brief period
of time (when the device reaches a certain tempera
-
ture). If this happens, it does not mean there is a fault
with the wireless charing pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.
WINDOWS
POWER WINDOWS
The window switches on the driver’s door trim panel
control all of the door windows.

Driver’s Power Window Controls

The driver may lock out the rear power windows by
pushing the bar control just below the power window
controls.

Window Lockout Switch

The window switches will operate only when the ignition is

will operate only when the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN
position and during power accessory delay.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it. Doing so can cause
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Placing
the fob in close proximity of the charging pad blocks the
fob from being detected by the vehicle and prevents the
vehicle from starting.

Stow ‘n Vac Integrated Vacuum —
If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with an integrated vacuum
system. This vacuum is for in-vehicle use only and should
only be used on dry materials and on in-vehicle surfaces.
It is located in the rear trim panel behind the sliding door
on the driver’s side of the vehicle. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using. When using your
vacuum, basic precautions should be followed, including
the following:
WARNING!

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 seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
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 Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in either the ACC
position, or engine running (ON), unless you are

 Do not use to vacuum up anything outside of the
vehicle.
 Do not vacuum any flammable liquids,
such as gasoline, or use around explosive
vapors. Vapors from flammable liquids may
form an explosive mixture with air and can
be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. Vapors
may travel to a source of ignition and explode.
 Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking,
such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes/embers.
 Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
 Do not leave the vacuum running while unattended.

Battery Charge Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate when the
battery is not charging properly. If it stays on
while the engine is running, there may be a
malfunction with the charging system. Contact
an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the electrical
system or a related component.
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 application.
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
Úpage 121.
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.
