Engine
•
Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil contains
contaminates which may cause engine
damage.
•
Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast idle
with the climate controls set to defrost
until the engine reaches normal operating
temperature.
•
With your foot on the brake, shift through
all the gears while the engine is running.
•
We recommend that you change the
engine oil before you use your vehicle
again.
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
that there are no cooling system leaks
and that 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, we
recommend that you disconnect the
battery cables to maintain battery charge
for quick starting.
Note:
It is necessary to reset memory features
if battery cables are disconnected.
Brakes
•
Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
•
Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
•
Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and
pins under your vehicle are covered with
grease to prevent rust.
•
Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m) every
15 days to lubricate working parts and
prevent corrosion.
Removing Vehicle From Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of
storage, do the following:
•
Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or
grease film build-up on window surfaces.
•
Check windshield wipers for any
deterioration.
•
Check under the hood for any foreign
material that may have collected during
storage such as mice or squirrel nests.
•
Check the exhaust for any foreign
material that may have collected during
storage.
•
Check tire pressures and set tire inflation
per the Tire Label.
•
Check brake pedal operation. Drive your
vehicle 15 ft (4.5 m) back and forth to
remove rust build-up.
•
Check fluid levels (including coolant, oil
and gas) to make sure there are no leaks,
and fluids are at recommended levels.
•
If you remove the battery, clean the
battery cable ends and check for damage.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have any
concerns or issues.
