Vehicle Storage for Your Volkswagen Routan SUV First Generation (2009-2014)

1
VEHICLE STORAGE  
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than  
21 days, you may want to take steps to protect your  
battery. You may do the following:  
Remove the 20 Amp mini-fuse in the Totally Inte-  
grated Power Module (TIPM) labeled Ignition-Off  
Draw (IOD).  
Or, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.  
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of  
service for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning  
system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air  
and high blower setting. This will ensure adequate  
system lubrication to minimize the possibility of com-  
pressor damage when the system is started again.
