- w/ Navigation System:
  After the engine switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See INITIALIZATION ).
1. Disable the Autoaway/Return function by changing the customize parameter (See CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS ).
  NOTE: Record the current customize parameter setting (whether the Autoaway/Return function is enabled or disabled) in order to restore the current setting after finishing the operation.
  
  HINT:
  
  Performing the above operation causes the Autoaway/Return function to be disabled when the engine switch is turned off.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Operate the tilt and telescopic switch to fully extend and lower the steering column.
3. Turn the engine switch off and disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
