I will check the Owner's Manual, but I don't recall seeing anything in there.

Seems odd to post that under the hood...
On page 213 of the owner's manual under "Vehicle Storage" is states:

"...drive your vehicle every month for about 30 minutes. This will keep the IMA battery charged and in good condition."

It also states below that:

"NOTICE - If this vehicle is unused for over one month, the service life of the 158V Nickel-Metal Hydride battery will be reduced and the battery may be permanently damaged."
