Maintenance modes

Engine maintenance mode
Engine maintenance mode runs the
engine to keep it in good working
condition after approximately
six weeks of no or very limited engine
operation. Engine maintenance mode
will force the engine to run, even if
there is a charge to power the vehicle.
When engine maintenance mode is
required, a request screen appears
on the Colour-Info-Display at vehicle
start.
If Yes is selected, engine
maintenance mode will start. The
engine will run for a set amount of
time without turning off. During
engine maintenance mode, a DIC
message is displayed to show the
engine maintenance mode
percentage complete.
If No is selected, the engine
maintenance mode request screen
will appear when the vehicle is started
Driving and operating
the next time. The engine
maintenance mode request can be
delayed for only one day.
If the engine maintenance mode
request has been delayed for one
day, the engine will automatically
start at the next vehicle start. An
engine maintenance mode
notification screen will appear in the
Colour-Info-Display.
If the vehicle is shut off during engine
maintenance mode, it will restart the
next time the vehicle is driven. A
message displays to indicate that
engine maintenance mode is active.
If engine maintenance mode is
required and the fuel level is low,
engine maintenance mode may
eventually empty the fuel tank. This
