In addition to this new pre±delivery battery test, a monthly battery inspection is still
required for stored vehicles. If your dealership is located in an area subject to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold), periodic maintenance may need to be performed more
frequently.
To reduce parasitic battery drain for vehicles in storage for one week or more, the
negative battery cable should always be disconnected to reduce battery discharge.
When the negative battery cable is reconnected, please check and reset electrical
components such as the clock, radio, etc.
NOTE:
For your reference, the electrical system is made inoperative by removing the
appropriate fuse indicated in the Electrical Wiring Diagram. Recom-
