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.
NOTE:
The vacuum system will run for 10 minutes off
battery power and then the vacuum will shut

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)

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

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

to be replaced, please contact an authorized
dealer.
If there are any other issues with your

SAFETY TIPS
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE
CARGO AREA.
Exhaust Gas The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can
be detected inside the vehicle, or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged,
have a competent mechanic inspect the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system each time
the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.
WARNING!
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually poison you.
To avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety
tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or
in confined areas any longer than needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/
liftgate/rear doors 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.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle
with the engine running, adjust your
heating or cooling controls to force outside
air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.

NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance
builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens,
rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not cover the lens.
SURROUND VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
Surround View Camera System that allows you
to see an on-screen image of the surroundings
and top view of your vehicle whenever the gear
selector is put into REVERSE or a different view
is selected through the "on screen soft buttons".
The top view of the vehicle will show which
doors are open. The image will be displayed on
the touchscreen display along with a caution
note “Check Entire Surroundings” across the
top of the screen. After five seconds, this note
will disappear. The Surround View Camera
System is comprised of four sequential
cameras located in the front grille, rear liftgate
and side mirrors. NOTE:
The Surround View Camera System has program
-
mable settings that may be selected through the
Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
When the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE, the
rear camera view and top view is the default view
of the system.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with
camera delay turned on), the camera image will
continue to be displayed for up to 10 seconds
after shifting out of REVERSE unless the vehicle
speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the vehicle is
shifted into PARK or the ignition is placed in the
OFF position. There is a touchscreen button “X”
to disable the display of the camera image.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with
camera delay turned off), the Surround View
Camera mode is exited and the last known
screen appears again.
When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid on
the image to illustrate the width of the vehicle,
including the side view mirrors and its projected
backup path based on the steering wheel position.
Different colored zones indicate the distance to
the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkView Rear Back Up
Camera. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind
spots before backing up. You are responsible
for the safety of your surroundings and must
continue to pay attention while backing up.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView should
only be used as a parking aid. The ParkView
camera is unable to view every obstacle or
object in your drive path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must
be driven slowly when using ParkView to be
able to stop in time when an obstacle is
seen. It is recommended that the driver
look frequently over his/her shoulder when
using ParkView.
CAUTION! (Continued)
