      Note

      w/ Navigation System for HDD:

      After the engine switch is turned off, the display and navigation module display (HDD navigation system) records various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, make sure to wait for the time specified in the following table before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      Waiting Time before Disconnecting Cable from Negative (-) Battery Terminal
      Specification Waiting Time
      w/o Telematics transceiver 60 sec.
      w/ Telematics transceiver 120 sec.
