Yes, I am worried about Hurricanes and flooding....but if the car gets flooded next to my house I have bigger problems....
It is interesting that in my 2017 owners manual it has taken out all the information about long term storage. That is why I was wondering if they figured out some change in the software or hardware to make that obsolete...if I remember right from where someone else quoted an earlier owners manual, it also said to leave it at a temperature less than 85F...which isn't going to happen unfortunately (if it did I wouldn't be leaving....)...this is why I wondered if they changed anything..or had other advice for hot climates. Last summer I could tell my son just to drive it when he wanted...but unfortunately he has moved to the other coast.
At this point I will run the battery down to the two or three bars, put a cover on it, and attach a trickle charger to the terminals under the hood. I would play with the transport mode, but my wife may come home for a day or two in the summer and need to drive it...this routine seems pretty easy for her to undo and then redo....
But if someone knows about some change, or difference in hot weather please tell me....
thank you
Ken
