VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dor-
mant for more than 21 days, you may
want to take these steps to protect
your battery.
1. Disconnect the negative cable from
the battery.
NOTE:
When the negative cable is discon-
nected from the battery, and the
trunk lid is completely closed, it isnecessary to pull the emergency
release lever of the trunk latching
mechanism to open it again. To
access the trunk and operate the
lever, fold the rear seatbacks.
Please refer to “FOLDING REAR
SEAT” in “UNDERSTANDING
THE FEATURES OF YOUR VE-
HICLE” and "TRUNK EMER-
GENCY RELEASE” in “THINGS

YOUR VEHICLE” for further in-
formation.

2. 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 ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
