5. Turn the A/C on and allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.

6. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process.

• The vehicle may need to be driven to relearn the idle and fuel trim

strategy.

• Note: If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle

quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle trim is

eventually relearned.

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, the

transmission must relearn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the

transmission may shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and

will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time the

adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation to its

optimum shift feel.

If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed,

the clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the battery is

reconnected.

Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner. Follow

your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your local authorized

recycling center to find out more about recycling automotive batteries.

Battery management system

The battery management system (BMS) monitors battery conditions and

takes actions to extend battery life. If excessive battery drain is

detected, the system may temporarily disable certain electrical features

to protect the battery. Those electrical accessories affected include rear

defrost, heated/cooled seats, climate control fan, heated steering wheel,

audio and navigation system. A message may be displayed on the

instrument cluster or center stack display to alert the driver that battery

protection actions are active. See the Information displays in the

Instrument Cluster and Entertainment Systems chapters for more

information. These messages are only for notification that an action is

taking place, and do not necessarily indicate that an electrical problem

exists or that the battery requires replacement.

Electrical accessory installation

To ensure proper operation of the BMS, any electrical devices that are

added to the vehicle should not have their ground connection made

directly at the negative battery post. A connection at the negative

battery post can cause inaccurate measurements of the battery condition

and potential incorrect system operation.
