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 seriously 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
ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in either ACC mode or engine running (ON)
unless you are using the vacuum system. Be aware a
child could operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle when the vacuum system is in
use. ALWAYS push ignition button to place ignition
in the OFF mode when finished using the vacuum
system.

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, serious injury or death:
•Do not use vacuum while vehicle is in motion or
while driving.
•Do not vacuum wet surfaces or any liquids.
• 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 mix-
ture 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.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.

attachments provided with your vehicle.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair,
and anything that may reduce air flow.
• 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 sta-
tions, 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.
1. Before Using Vacuum:
Accessory (ACC) Mode Operation - For up to 10 minutes
of operation
Always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into
PARK, and push ignition button to place ignition in
Accessory (ACC) mode. The engine will not be running in
this mode. Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle,
or in a location accessible to children.

battery power and then the vacuum will shut down. A low
battery indication light (LOW PWR) located below the
vacuum nozzle storage location will come on one minute
before the vacuum shuts down. Engine Running (ON) Operation - For more than 10
minutes of operation
•Position vehicle outdoors and fully open all side
windows.
• Always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission
into PARK, and leave engine running.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases can cause
serious injury or death. Follow the precautions below
to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
•Do not inhale exhaust gases.
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or
confined area. Always position vehicle outdoors and
fully open all side windows before using vacuum

following the removal instructions below. If the filter is
clogged, follow the emptying debris bin procedure 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 filter has tears, holes or other
damage and needs to be replaced, please contact your
authorized dealer.
• If there are any other issues with your vacuum, contact
your authorized dealer. Your vacuum has no user ser-
viceable parts.
Debris Bin
The debris bin is located behind the lower 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 lower access panel by pulling the finger grip towards you and then pull downward.
3. Twist the release knob counterclockwise and pull the bin towards you. 4. Remove the filter and dump the debris in a trash can.
Lightly tap the filter on the collection bin to remove
loose debris from the filter. If the filter is clogged from
extended use, have the filter replaced by your autho-
rized dealer.
5. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
•Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery
even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces-
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle’s battery.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt Power Inverter outlet located
on the right side of the vehicle, before the third row of seats
to convert DC current to AC current. The Power Inverter
can power cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles will exceed this power limit, as will
most power tools.
The Power Inverter turns on when the device is plugged in,
and the ignition is in RUN mode. It turns off when the
device is unplugged or the ignition is no longer in RUN
mode.

Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the
following conditions:
•The charging system cannot deliver enough electrical
power to the vehicle system because the electrical loads
are larger than the capability of charging system. The
charging system is still functioning properly.
• Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads (e.g.
HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights,
overloaded power outlets +12V, 150W, USB ports) dur-
ing certain driving conditions (city driving, towing,
frequent stopping).
• Installing options like additional lights, upfitter electri-
cal accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar de-
vices.
• Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by long
parking periods).
• The vehicle was parked for an extended period of time
(weeks, months).
• The battery was recently replaced and was not charged
completely.
• The battery was discharged by an electrical load left on
when the vehicle was parked. •
The battery was used for an extended period with the
engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers,
+12V portable appliances like vacuum cleaner ’s, game
consoles and similar devices.
What to do when an electrical load reduction action
message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver
Mode”)
During a trip:
• Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:
– Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)
– Check what may be plugged in to power outlets +12V, 150W, USB ports
– Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)
– Check the audio settings (volume)
After a trip:
• Check if any aftermarket equipment was installed (ad-
ditional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio sys-
tems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load and
Ignition Off Draw currents).
• Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, driving time
and parking time).
