Storing the Vehicle
If you are storing your vehicle for more than three weeks, we recommend that you take the following steps to minimize the drain on your vehicle's battery:
-
Disconnect the negative cable from battery.
-
Any time 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.
Note:
When the vehicle has not been started or driven for at least 30 days, an “Extended Park Starting Procedure” is required to start the vehicle "⇨STARTING THE ENGINE".
CAUTION:
Before removal of the positive and negative terminals to the battery, wait at least a minute with ignition switch in the OFF position and close the driver’s door. When reconnecting the positive and negative terminals to the battery be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position and the driver’s door is closed.
