{ WARNING 12‐volt batteries ... 
 See Jump Starting on page 10‑69


Up to four weeks
. Plug in the high voltage battery
charge cord if temperatures will
exceed 35°C (95°F) and keep
the 12-volt battery cables
connected.

Four weeks to 12 months
. Discharge the high voltage
battery until two or three bars
remain on the battery range
indicator (Battery symbol) on the
instrument cluster.

. Do not plug in the high voltage
battery charge cord.

. Remove the black negative (−)
cable from the 12-volt battery
and attach a trickle charger to
the battery terminals or keep the
12-volt battery cables connected
and trickle charge from the
underhood remote positive (+)
and negative (−) terminals. See
Jump Starting on page 10‑69 for
the location of these terminals.

Notice: The vehicle is equipped
with an AGM/VRLA 12-volt
battery, which can be damaged by
using the incorrect type of
trickle charger. An AGM/
VRLA-compatible charger must
be used, with the appropriate
setting selected. Follow the
trickle charger manufacturer
instructions.

Reconnecting the 12-Volt Black
Negative Cable
With the 12-volt black negative (−)
cable disconnected, the hatch
cannot be opened by pressing the
hatch release button. If the hatch is
closed and latched, reopen it:

1. Use the door key to open the
driver door.
2. Manually unlock and open one
of the rear doors.
3. Lower one of the rear seatbacks.
4. Pull the load floor cover forward
to access and reconnect the
12-volt battery black negative (−)
cable.
5. After the cable has been
connected, open the hatch and
then tighten the cable.
After the battery cable is
reconnected, it is possible that the
vehicle may not operate in Electric
Mode. If this happens, the high
voltage battery may need to be
charged ...

IMO, the problem with chemical fuels like gasoline is as they sit and age,
they can get gummy, which could lead to problems. Thus, I suggest before you
put any chemical fuel vehicle (ice, hev, pih, etc.) into long (6+mo)
storage, if the fuel is already old (you drive mostly in Electric-only
mode), use up that old-fuel, then put in a few gallons of fresh fuel, and
drive at high speeds just long enough to run that fresh fuel into its ice.
Then (short of adding a GM recommended fuel preservative as well) you will
have the freshest fuel when you return to fire the ice up.
