Vehicle Storage

Infrequent Usage: If the vehicle is driven infrequently,
remove the 12-volt battery black, negative (−) cable, the
one that is exposed. This helps keep the battery from
running down.
Extended Storage: For extended storage of the vehicle,
remove the 12-volt battery black, negative (−) cable
from the battery or use a battery trickle charger.
This helps maintain the charge of the battery over an
extended period of time.
Remember to reconnect the battery when ready to drive
the vehicle.
Notice: The 36-volt hybrid battery system should
be serviced only by a qualified facility to avoid
battery system damage. See your dealer/retailer if
service is needed.
Notice: If the vehicle is not driven for over two
months, the 36-volt hybrid battery can be
permanently damaged.
The 36-volt battery is located behind the rear seat, in
the trunk. If the vehicle is stored for an extended period
of time, drive the vehicle every two months for about
half an hour to keep the 36-volt hybrid battery charged
and in good working condition.
