Using Storage Mode

The third screen of the system settings

The storage mode feature keeps your van from freezing if temperatures get too low inside the van while your vehicle is parked and you are out adventuring for the day.
When the Storage Mode button is activated, the Timberline system will utilize the heater and electricity to maintain the temperature inside your van. The heater and electricity will be “locked” in the on selection until Storage Mode is turned off.
CAUTION
Do not use the storage mode feature while your vehicle is parked inside a building as the heater will produce fumes.
