HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE — IF EQUIPPED

Hands-Free Liftgate Activation Zone

To open the liftgate using hands-free activation,
use a straight in and out kicking motion under the
vehicle activation zone in the general location
below the liftgate door handle. Do not move your
foot sideways or in a sweeping motion or the
sensors may not detect the motion. Vehicles Equipped With A Trailer Tow Package
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with the Trailer Tow
Package, the hands-free activation zone(s) for the
Power Liftgate will be located on the left and right
side of the receiver. Use a straight kicking motion
under either activation zone to open the
Hands-Free Liftgate.

Hands-Free Liftgate Trailer Tow Activation Zones

When a valid kicking motion is completed, the
liftgate will chime, the hazard lights will flash and
the liftgate will open after approximately one
second. This assumes all options are enabled in
the Uconnect system.
NOTE:To open the Hands-Free Liftgate requires a valid
Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the door
handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob is not within
5 ft (1.5 m), the liftgate will not respond to any
kicks.
NOTE:
The Hands-Free Liftgate will only operate when
the transmission is in PARK.
If anything obstructs the Hands-Free Liftgate
while it is opening or closing, the liftgate will
automatically reverse to the closed position,
provided it meets sufficient resistance.
There are pinch sensors attached to the side of
the liftgate opening. Light pressure anywhere
along these strips will cause the liftgate to
return to the open position.
CAUTION!
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be turned
on or off in Uconnect Settings. The Hands-Free
Liftgate feature should be turned off during
jacking, tire changing, and vehicle service

If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the system
will automatically stop. If this occurs, the liftgate
must be operated manually.
The power liftgate will release, but not power
open, in temperatures below −12°F (−24°C).
Be sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice
from the liftgate before opening the liftgate.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended period
of time, the liftgate may need to be closed
manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
The Hands-Free Liftgate only works to open the
liftgate. Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with
temperature, it may be necessary to assist the
props when opening the liftgate in cold weather.
NOTE:Allow the power system to open the liftgate.
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may
activate the liftgate obstacle detection feature and
stop the power operation or reverse its direction.
CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Area Storage
When the third row seats are not in the stowed
position, there is a large area for cargo storage.

Rear Cargo Area

NOTE:With all rear seats stowed or removed, 4 x 8 ft
(1.2 x 2.4 m) sheets of building material will fit on
the vehicle floor with the liftgate closed. The front
seats must be moved slightly forward of the
rearmost position.
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.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when
you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are closed,
and the climate control blower switch is set at
high speed. Do not use the recirculation
mode.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or cargo
damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel
path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed
and latched before driving away.

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 Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in
either the ACC position, 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 position 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 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 atten -
tion is necessary when used by or near chil -
dren.
Do not leave the vacuum running while unat -
tended.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only
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
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.

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,
