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 your vehicle thoroughly to

remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from

exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing

and underside of front fenders.

• Periodically wash your vehicle stored

in exposed locations.

• Touch-up exposed 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 your vehicle is washed.

• Lubricate all hood, door and trunk lid

hinges, and latches 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 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.

Cooling system

• Protect against freezing temperatures.

• When removing your vehicle from

storage, check coolant fluid level.

Confirm there are no cooling system

leaks, and fluid is at the recommended

level.

Battery

• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep

connections clean.

• If storing your vehicle for more than 30

days without recharging the battery, it

may be advisable to disconnect the

battery cables to ensure battery charge

is maintained for quick starting.

Note: If battery cables are disconnected, it

will be necessary to reset memory features.

Brakes

• Make sure brakes and parking brake

are fully released.

Tires

• Maintain recommended air pressure.
