Vehicle Storage


 

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 Distribution 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.
