Stow n’ VAC Integrated Vacuum — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with an integrated
vacuum system. The system can clean up dry spills and
debris within the vehicle.
1. Make sure the vehicle is in Park (P) and the ignition isset to Run/Accessory mode.
NOTE: •The vacuum system will run for 10 minutes off
battery power. At 10 minutes, the vacuum will shut
down and a low battery indication light will come on
one minute before shutdown.
• When the vehicle engine is running, the vacuum will
be capable of continuous operation.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly.
Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon
monoxide poisoning:
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can
kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as
a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the
engine running for an extended period. If the
vehicle is stopped in an open area with the engine
running for more than a short period, adjust the
ventilation system to force fresh, outside air into
the vehicle.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper main-
tenance. Have the exhaust system inspected every
time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal
conditions repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive
with all side windows fully open.

Vacuum Troubleshooting
•If an object(s) become lodged in the hose, first try fully
extending the hose in a straight line while the vacuum
motor is on. If this does not work, then remove the
hose and try to shake it out.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
The crossbars and side rails are designed to carry weight
on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack.The load must
not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and should be uniformly
distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.
The crossbars on your vehicle are delivered stowed
within the roof rack side rails. Crossbars should always
be used whenever cargo is placed on the roof rack. Check
the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains
securely attached.

inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
