NOTE:
The premium Tire Pressure Monitor System will
automatically locate the pressure values dis-
played in the correct vehicle position following a
tire rotation.
The suggested rotation method is the "rearward-
cross" shown in the following diagram.

STORING THE VEHICLE

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.
• Any time 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 ensure adequate
250
system lubrication to minimize the possibility
of compressor damage when the system is
started again.

Battery Storage Mode

With the ignition in the ON position, engine not
running, navigate to the battery gauge page on
the instrument cluster display, then press and
hold the OK button. The vehicle will be put into
battery storage mode, which will greatly in-
crease the amount of time the vehicle can sit
and restart without needing to disconnect the
battery. Going into battery storage mode will
increase the amount of time between starts to
about 60 days.
NOTE:
The key fob buttons will not work while the
vehicle is in battery storage mode, pulling the
door handle will wake the vehicle and allow it to
recognize the key fob to unlock the door.

BODYWORK

Protection From Atmospheric
Agents
Vehicle body care requirements vary according
to geographic locations and usage. Chemicals
that make roads passable in snow and ice and
those that are sprayed on trees and road sur-
faces during other seasons are highly corrosive
to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking,
which exposes your vehicle to airborne contami-
nants, road surfaces on which the vehicle is
operated, extreme hot or cold weather and other
extreme conditions will have an adverse effect
on paint, metal trim, and underbody protection.
The following maintenance recommendations
will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from
the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or re-
moval of paint and protective coatings from your
vehicle.
The most common causes are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation.
• Stone and gravel impact.
• Insects, tree sap and tar.
• Salt in the air near seacoast localities.
• Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.

Body And Underbody Maintenance

Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights
and fog lights that are lighter and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping
with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
