Under-Hood (Engine Idling)
14.
Do the Idle Learn Procedure
To ensure a steady engine idle, do the idle learn procedure as follows after installing the No. 15 BACKUP RADIO (10 A)
and No. 16 BACKUP (10 A) fuses:
1. Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio unit, rear window defogger, lights, etc.) are turned off.
2. Put the vehicle in Sport Mode by pressing the SPORT button on the electronic gear selector. This will force the
engine to run. Let it reach operating temperature (the cooling fans cycle twice.)
3. Let the engine idle for 10 minutes with the throttle fully closed.
The idle learn procedure must also be done after updating or replacing the PCM. If does not need to be done after
clearing DTCs.

Charge the High-Voltage Battery
The gauge on the left side of the instrument panel indicates the high-voltage battery charge level. If it reads less than
one third full, you must charge the battery before delivering the vehicle or putting it in storage.
To charge the battery, apply the brake pedal and press the POWER button while in Park. After you see
Ready to Drive
in the MID, press the accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds. The engine speed will increase and the battery will
charge. Continue the idling charge until the engine stops. At that time, the high-voltage battery will be sufficiently
charged.
If the vehicle is left unattended for a long time, the high-voltage battery’s service life will be affected. For those vehicles,
carry out idling charges by running the engine once every 12 months for about 30 minutes.
