i can see you can't jump any other car off. Any other dos and don'ts. I tried asking the dealer and his answer was brIng it in. I live in the boonies I always carry a 4 way tire iron every fluid, belts. Tools flashlight, i almost forgot about duck tape electrical tape and wire ties About 20 years ago I was test driving a truck and some numb nuts forgot to tighten the drain plug i didn't want to blow it up so I filled up radiator but I didnt have the money for the oil could not find a pay phone with book. By the time I made it back I had cracked the heads. So any car I drive has to earn my trust even if its new. Thanks again Jennifer
Do: drive the car 100 miles or more a week. Do: use the A/C in the summer, to protect the high voltage battery Don't: leaving the car sitting for more than 2 weeks, without installing a 12V battery maintainer Don't: use electrical accessories (headlights, radio) unless the car is in Ready Don't: believe that the dealer is your only recourse for maintenance and repair
If you can't fit the kitchen sink try one of these (Flux Capacitor) I'd tend to leave sachet's along the rout to save weight, better mileage that way
Do shift in to B at the top of long declines Don't mess with B any other time. Don't get your 12 volt battery jumped more than once, if it is bad, replace it. Do change your Transaxle fluid (~$100) at 30,000 miles and every 60,000 after that with WS ATF.
DO take our suggestions with a grain of salt. DO read the manual - everything you need to know is there. Most of the things people suggest here are good, but not necessarily required (e.g. plenty of us have gone >2 weeks without driving it, or driven it less than 100 miles in a week. Those will help keep a dying 12V battery from becoming dead, but a normal battery will handle those just fine).
