Brakes

Make sure brakes and parking brake
are fully released.

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 feet (8
meters) 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 (mice/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 feet (4.5 meters) 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 the battery was removed, clean the
battery cable ends and inspect.

Contact your authorized dealer if you have
any concerns or issues.
