VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than 21
days you may want to take steps to protect your battery.
You may:
•Remove Cartridge fuse #15 in the Power Distribution
Center labeled Ignition-Off Draw (IOD).
•Store the removed IOD fuse in the Power Distribution
Center location #11 labeled “IOD Storage.”
•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
insure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.
