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 (START) Operation - For more than
10 minutes of operation
 Position vehicle outdoors and fully open all side
windows.
 Always apply the parking brake, shift the transmis -
sion into PARK, and leave engine running. 2. Unclip the vacuum nozzle and pull to extend vacuum

Vacuum Troubleshooting
 DO NOT use with any opening blocked. If an object
becomes lodged in the hose, attempt to fully extend
the hose in a straight line while the vacuum motor is
running. If this does not dislodge the object, turn the
vacuum OFF and remove the hose from the vehicle
using the subsequent removal instructions. 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 reinstalling 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, contact
an authorized dealer. Your vacuum has no user
serviceable parts.
Debris Bin
The debris bin is located behind the 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 access panel by pulling the finger grip towards you and then pull downward.

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 an
authorized dealer.
5. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.
NOTE:The debris bin must be fully installed and locked for the
vacuum to function properly.
Hose Access Port
The hose access port is located behind the access panel
behind the third row seat on the driver’s side.

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

STOW ‘N PLACE ROOF 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 lb (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.

Roof Rack

1 — Side Rail
2 — Crossbar

23_RUP_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 90

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE91
The Stow ‘n Place roof rack does not increase the total
load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load
of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack
does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
DEPLOYING THE CROSSBARS

1. To deploy the crossbars, completely loosen the
thumb screws at both ends of the crossbar and lift
the crossbar from its stowed position in the side rail.
Repeat with crossbar on the opposite side.

Thumb Screw

NOTE:
The thumb screws cannot be fully removed.

Removing Crossbars

2. Bend the crossbar supports at each end, taking care to keep hand clear of pivoting joint. Slide the thumb
screw down.

Bending Pivot

3. Position the crossbars across the roof making sure the letters on the crossbars align with the matching
letters on the side rail.

Positioning Crossbars

4. Once the crossbar is in place, tighten both thumb screws completely.

Installing Crossbars

CAUTION!
Use care when removing and handling the crossbars to
prevent damage to the vehicle.

5. Deploy and tighten the second crossbar to complete
the deployment of the crossbars.
NOTE:The crossbars are not identical and have fixed deployment
positions. Rear crossbar can be deployed in two different
positions.
STOWING THE CROSSBARS

1. Starting with one crossbar, completely loosen the thumb screws at both ends. Lift the crossbar away
from the matching letter to remove it from the
deployed position. Repeat with the other crossbar.

2. Starting with the one crossbar, bend up the pivot supports at each end.

Crossbar Pivot

3. Then, position the crossbar along the correct side rail. Make sure the letters on the crossbar align with the
matching letters on the side rail.

Stowing Crossbars

4. The crossbar will nest fully within the side rail.

Crossbar To Side Rail

5. Once the driver’s side crossbar is in place, tighten the thumb screws completely.

Tightening Crossbar

6. Repeat the procedure to stow the second crossbar on the opposite side.

Stowed Crossbars

CAUTION!
Use care when removing and handling the crossbars to
prevent damage to the vehicle.

NOTE:
To help control wind noise, stow the crossbars in the
side rails when they are not in use.
 If any metallic object is placed over the satellite radio
antenna (if equipped), you may experience interruption
of satellite radio reception.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Anything improperly secured to the roof rack,
crossbars, or the roof itself can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting in collisions,
personal injury, or property damage. Follow the roof
rack cautions when carrying anything on your roof rack.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO
NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed. The load should be secured and
placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protective layer between the
load and the roof surface.
 To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not
exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150
lb (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and appropriately secure the load and any
protective layer placed between the load and the roof
surface.Load should always be secured to cross bars first,
with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple -
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps and
thumb wheels frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
 Long loads that extend over the windshield, such as
wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal
area should be secured to both the front and rear of
the vehicle.
 Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully
when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
CAUTION!
