3. Start and run the vehicle at fast idle, until it reaches operating

built up from previous start-ups and short idle periods,
operate the heater and / or air conditioner, headlights, and
other accessories for several minutes.
4. Turn off heater and / or air conditioner and any other
accessories; shut off the headlights. Park the vehicle and
shut off the engine.
5. Perform the procedure for Storage Duration - One Month
or Less , if returning the vehicle to storage.
NOTE: After every 30 additional days of storage, perform
Items 1 through 5.
Storage Facilities
1. Whenever possible, store vehicles indoors,
protected from sunlight, in a dry, well ventilated
area.
If indoor storage is not available, select
storage lots to eliminate conditions that cause
deterioration.
2. Park away from transformers and / or electrical
motors, because when the protective wax in tire
compound cracks, ozone in the air attacks the
exposed areas.
3. Park away from trees, high weeds and / or grass
to prevent damage from tree or weed sap, and to
minimize bird and insect stains.
4. Park away from railroad tracks, paint shops, smoky
industrial areas, and locations of possible road
splash contact.
5. If a vehicle is parked on an incline, install wheel
chocks.
