•Check the battery every four to six weeks to ensure
that the voltage is above 12.40 Volts. The voltage will
drop more rapidly in hot temperatures. If battery
voltage drops below 12.40 Volts, follow the battery
recharge procedure in the Service Manual.
NOTE: To help prevent the battery from discharging
during shorter periods of inactivity, perform the follow-
ing:
1. Make sure that the liftgate, hood, doors, windows are completely closed.
2. Make sure that Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit- ter is operating and that the battery is good. 3. Make sure that the HOOD, LIFTGATE, and DOOR
switches are in adjustment. Perform the quick system
check, which follows:
Use the remote transmitter to set the alarm. If the
alarm SET light comes on and flashes, the system is
operating properly. If not, there is a problem with a
switch or the system. See your authorized dealer for
service.
•Cover the vehicle whenever possible to prevent acci-
dental damage to the finish.
