Honda 2007 RDX, Owner'S Manual

Page: 402 / 444

Your vehicle has an electric vacuum
pump located in the engine
compartment. It enhances the
effectiveness of your vehicle’s brake
system more frequently when you
drive in cold weather or thinner air at
high altitude after the engine is
started.
When the electric vacuum pump is in
operation, it makes some mechanical
noises come from the engine
compartment. This is normal.
The brake system indicator (amber)
on the instrument panel normally
comes on for a few seconds when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. If it stays on after
the engine starts, press on the brake
pedal with your foot several times
until the indicator turns off. If the
indicator is still on or comes on again
after this procedure, there is a
problem in the brake system
including the electric vacuum pump.
If this happens, the brake pedal
might feel heavy when you press it.
Have your vehicle checked by your
dealer.
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK BRAKE
SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page
).
If you must drive the vehicle a short
distance in this condition, drive
slowly and carefully.
If the ABS indicator and the VSA
system indicator come on with the
brake system indicator, have your
vehicle inspected by your dealer
immediately.
