Smart Battery Shutoff Switch

A vehicle in daily use has the smart battery shut-off switch turned on, indicated by a red LED in the switch.

Turning the smart battery shut-off switch off minimizes the power draw on the battery, preserving battery life and the ability of the vehicle to start after being parked for a number of days. Set the smart battery shut-off switch to OFF if the vehicle is going to be parked for more than two days.

To avoid accidental activation, the smart battery shut-off switch must be pressed and held for two seconds when turning it on or off.
