VEHICLE STORAGE

If you plan on storing your vehicle for an extended period of time

(30 days or more), read the following maintenance recommendations to

make sure your vehicle stays in good operating condition.

All motor vehicles and their components were engineered and tested for

reliable, regular driving. Long-term storage under various conditions may

lead to component degradation or failure unless specific precautions are

taken to preserve the components.

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.

• 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.

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

grade oil.

• 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 contains 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.
