STORING THE VEHICLE
If you will not be using your vehicle for more
than 21 days, you may want to take steps to
preserve your battery.
• Disengage the mini-fuse in the Power Dis-
tribution Center labeled IOD (Ignition Off-
Draw).
• Or disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it
out of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks
or more, run the air conditioning system at
idle for about five minutes in the fresh air
and high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage when
the system is started again.
