Block the rear wheels.
If the vehicle is to be stored for a
longer period, it should be
supported on jackstands so the
tyres are off the ground.
Leave one window open slightly (if
the vehicle is being stored
indoors).
Disconnect the battery.
Clean the interior. Make sure the
carpeting, floor mats, etc., are
completely dry.
Wash and dry the exterior
completely.
Change the engine oil and filter.
Fill the fuel tank.
If you need to park your vehicle for
an extended period (more than 1
month), there are several things you
should do to prepare it for storage.
Proper preparation helps prevent
deterioration and makes it easier to
get your vehicle back on the road. If
possible, store your vehicle indoors.
Leave the parking brake off. Put
the transmission in reverse
(manual) or Park (automatic).
If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system may disable itself. The next
time you turn on the radio you will
see ‘‘ENTER CODE’’ in the
frequency display. Use the preset
buttons to enter the code (see page
).
Support the front and rear wiper
blade arms with a folded towel or
rag so they do not touch the
windscreen.
To minimize sticking, apply a
silicone spray lubricant to all door
and tailgate seals. Also, apply a
vehicle body wax to the painted
surfaces that mate with the door
and tailgate seals.
