SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 513
If you are storing your vehicle for more than 21 days, we
recommend that you take the following steps to minimize
the drain on your vehicle's battery:
• Disconnect the negative cable from battery.
• If your
vehicle is equipped with Stop/Start system then
disconn
ect both the main and supplemental negative
battery cables.
• Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out of service
(i.e.,
vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air condi-
tioning system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air
a
nd high
blower setting. This will ensure adequate system
lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started again.
• If assistance is needed to disconnect the battery system, see
your aut
horized dealer.
