Utility mode

The vehicle uses the high voltage battery instead of the 12V battery to operate convenience features. When driving is not necessary, such as when you are camping or stopping the vehicle for an extended period of time, you can use the electrical features (audio, lights, air conditioner, heater, and so on) for many hours.
