Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

You need to change the mapping I guess. What is your mapping look like?

```auto
GET /cars/_mapping

```
