General

• Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated place.

• Protect from sunlight, if possible.

• If vehicles are stored outside, they require regular maintenance to

protect against rust and damage.

Body

• Wash vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from

exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing and underside of front fenders.

See the Cleaning chapter for more information.

• Periodically wash vehicles stored in exposed locations.

• Touch-up raw or primed metal to prevent rust.

• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax

to prevent discoloration. Re-wax as necessary when the vehicle is

washed. See the Cleaning chapter for more information.

• Lubricate all hood, door and trunk lid hinges, and latches with a light

grade oil. See the Cleaning chapter for more information.

• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.

• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.

Engine

• The engine oil and filter should be changed prior to storage, as used

engine oil contain contaminates that may cause engine damage.

• Start the engine every 15 days. Run at fast idle until it reaches normal

operating temperature.

• With your foot on the brake, shift through all the gears while the

engine is running.

Fuel system

• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel until the first automatic shutoff

of the fuel pump nozzle.

Note: During extended periods of vehicle storage (30 days or more),

fuel may deteriorate due to oxidation. Add Motorcraft威 Gas Stabilizer or

equivalent meeting Ford material specification ESE-M99C112-A to the

vehicle fuel system whenever actual or expected storage periods exceed

30 days. Follow the instructions on the additive label. The vehicle should

then be operated at idle speed to circulate the additive throughout the

fuel system.
