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

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 func-
tionality. Gas props support the liftgate in the open

activate the liftgate obstacle detection feature
and stop the power operation or reverse its

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 unat -
tended 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 chil -
dren, 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 igni -
tion 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.

NOTE:
The vacuum system will run for 10 minutes off
battery power and then the vacuum will shut
down. A low battery indication light (LOW PWR)
located below the vacuum nozzle storage loca -
tion 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.
 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
attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
Do not leave the vacuum running while
unattended.
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 chlo -
rine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.
WARNING! (Continued)
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.
