Preventing Battery Rundown
When the ignition switch is turned from
Run to Off, be sure to remove the key
from the key cylinder; otherwise, some
accessories, such as the audio system,
will continue to use battery power. To
prevent sustained electrical draws, the
key should always be removed from the
ignition cylinder when the vehicle is not
in use. After removing the key, it can be
re-inserted in the cylinder, but the accessories will not receive power until the
key is turned in the cylinder.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
