210 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Battery Save Feature The Battery Save feature conserves battery power when storing the vehicle. It allows for up to three months of storage time without losing radio and engine controller memory. Using this feature is an alternative to disconnecting the battery. NOTE: This vehicle is designed to sit in storage with a fully charged battery for up to 30 days. If you plan to store the vehicle longer than 30 days, we recommend doing one of the following: • Disconnect the battery. • Use the battery charger. • Put the vehicle into Battery Save mode (3-month charge). To Activate the Battery Save Feature 1. Insert the key into the ignition switch. 2. Cycle the ignition switch from OFF/LOCK to ACC four times. Leave the switch in the OFF/LOCK position after the fourth cycle. 3. Push the driver's POWER DOOR LOCK switch in the UP direction. A single chime will sound and the horn will chirp to indicate that the process has begun. 4. Remove the key from the ignition switch and exit the vehicle. The Battery Save Feature will be enabled 45 seconds after all doors are closed. NOTE: • Turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position at any time will cancel activation of the Battery Save Feature. • The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and the exterior passenger door handle will not work when the Battery Save feature is enabled. Enter the vehicle by using the key to unlock the door manually and by using the exterior driver door handle to open the door.
