CAUTION!
(Continued)
• If a “fast charger” is used while the battery
is in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle
battery cables before connecting the char-
ger to the battery. Do not use a “fast
charger” to provide starting voltage.
Hibernation Mode
The Hibernation mode feature conserves bat-
tery power when storing the vehicle. It allows for
up to three months of storage time without
losing radio and engine controller adaptive
memory. Using this feature is an alternative to
disconnecting the battery.
NOTE:
This vehicle is designed to sit in storage with
a fully charged battery for up to 30 days. If
you plan to store the vehicle longer than
30 days, we recommend doing one of the
following:
• Disconnect the battery.
• Use the battery charger.
• Put the vehicle into Hibernation mode (3-
month charge).
To Activate Hibernation Mode
1. Cycle the ignition switch to (ACC).
2. Select Hibernation mode within the instru-
ment cluster display.
3. Push the right arrow button on the steering
wheel controls for one second. Vehicle will
countdown from ten seconds and enter Hi-
bernation Mode.
NOTE:
You may push the right arrow button on the
steering wheel controls during the count-
down to abort Hibernation Mode.
To Deactivate Hibernation Mode
1. Push the key fob UNLOCK button to unlock
the vehicle.
2. Push the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position.
Air Conditioner Maintenance
For best possible performance, your air condi-
tioner should be checked and serviced by an
authorized dealer at the start of each warm
season. This service should include cleaning of
the condenser fins and a performance test.
Drive belt tension should also be checked at this
time.
WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and compressor lu-
bricants approved by the manufacturer for
your air conditioning system. Some unap-
proved refrigerants are flammable and can
explode, injuring you. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs. Re-
fer to Warranty Information Book, for fur-
ther warranty information.
• The air conditioning system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid risk of
personal injury or damage to the system,
adding refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be done by
an experienced technician.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air
conditioning system as the chemicals can
damage your air conditioning components.
Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
