white or yellowish powder). To
remove it, cover the terminals with a
solution of baking soda and water. It
will bubble up and turn brown. When

Leave the parking brake off. Put
the transmission in Reverse
(5-speed manual) or Park
(automatic).
Block the rear wheels.
If the vehicle is to be stored f or a
longer period, it should be
supported on jackstands so the
tires are of f the ground.
Leave one window open slightly (if
the vehicle is being stored
indoors).
Disconnect the battery.Support the f ront wiper blade
arms with a f olded towel or rag so
they do not touch the windshield.
To minimize sticking, apply a
silicone spray lubricant to all door
and trunk seals. Also, apply a
vehiclebodywaxtothepainted
surfaces that mate with the door
and trunk seals.
Cover the vehicle with a
‘‘breathable’’ cover, one made
f rom a porous material such as
cotton. Non-porous materials, such
as plastic sheeting, trap moisture,
which can damage the paint.
If possible, periodically run the
engine until it reaches f ull

If you store your vehicle f or 1 year or
longer, have your dealer perf orm the
you take it ou

pages 202and 204 ). The 6-cylinder
model needs the inspections called
f or in the 2 years/ 30,000 miles
(48,000 km) maintenance schedule
(Normal Conditions) and the 4-
cylinder model needs the inspections
called f or in the 2 years/40,000 miles
(64,000 km) maintenance schedule
(Normal Conditions). The
replacements called f or in the
maintenance schedule are not
needed unless the vehicle has actually
reached that time or mileage.
maintenance inspections as soon as

Immediately turn of f all electrical
accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
Go to a service station or garage
where you can get technical
assistance.
If the charging system indicator
comes on brightly when the engine
is running, the battery is not being
charged. If the indicator comes on while
driving, it means one of the engine’s
emission control systems may have a
problem. Even though you may f eel
no dif f erence in your vehicle’s
perf ormance, continued operation
may cause serious damage.
