Use only high purity water such as deion
-
ized, or distilled water when mixing the
water/coolant (antifreeze) solution for the
engine, battery or high voltage electronics
cooling systems. The use of lower quality
water will reduce the amount of corrosion
protection in the cooling system.
Make sure that the coolant expansion
bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or
obstructed.
Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your
vehicle is equipped with air conditioning,
keep the front of the condenser clean.
Do not change the thermostat for Summer
or Winter operation. If replacement is ever
necessary, install ONLY the correct type
thermostat. Other designs may result in
unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze)
performance, poor gas mileage, and
increased emissions.
The coolant freeze point in the battery and
power electronics loop should be checked
by an authorized dealer as a special tool is
required to remove the cap from those
expansion bottles.
Electric/Battery coolant system must be
serviced by an authorized dealer. If the
coolant level is below what is specified on
the reservoir, contact an authorized dealer
for service. These systems require the use
of high purity water such as deionized, or
distilled water when mixing the water and
coolant (antifreeze) solution. The use of
lower quality water will reduce the amount
of corrosion protection in the cooling
systems.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for
more than a month, observe the following
precautions:
Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and
possibly airy location with the windows
open slightly.
Check that the Electric Park Brake is not
engaged.
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from
the battery post and be sure that the
battery is fully charged. During storage
check battery charge quarterly.
NOTE:
Disconnecting the 12 volt battery will prevent
the High Voltage (HV) Battery from accepting
a charge from the Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE). Also, the vehicle will not
condition the HV Battery (if needed and
connected to a powered EVSE). If the HV
Battery is not able to condition itself and it
becomes cold enough (or hot enough), the
vehicle will not start until the HV Battery’s
cell temperatures are between -22°F (-30°C)
and 122°F (50°C).
If you do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check the battery
charge every 30 days.
Clean and protect the painted parts by
applying protective waxes.
Clean and protect polished metal parts by
applying protective waxes.
Apply talcum powder to the front and rear
wiper blades and leave raised from the
glass.
