Memory fuse
Your vehicle is equipped with a mem-
ory fuse to prevent battery discharge
if your vehicle is parked without
being operated for prolonged peri-
ods. Use the following procedures
before parking the vehicle for pro-
longed periods.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail
lights.
3. Open the driver’s side panel cover
and pull out the memory fuse.
• If the memory fuse is pulled out
from the fuse panel, the warning
chime, audio, clock and interior
lamps, etc., will not operate. Some
items must be reset after replace-
ment. Refer to “Battery” in this sec-
tion.
• Even when the memory fuse is
pulled out, the battery can still be
discharged by operation of the
headlights or other electrical
devices.
