Engine
•The engine oil and filter should be changed prior to storage, as used
engine oil contain contaminates that may cause engine damage.
•Start the engine every 15 days. Run at fast idle until it reaches normal
operating temperature.
•With your foot on the brake, shift through all the gears while the
engine is running.
Fuel system
•Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel until the first automatic shutoff
of the fuel pump nozzle.
Note:During extended periods of vehicle storage (30 days or more), fuel
may deteriorate due to oxidation. Add a quality gas stabilizer product to
the vehicle fuel system whenever actual or expected storage periods
exceed 30 days. Follow the instructions on the additive label. The vehicle
should then be operated at idle speed to circulate the additive
throughout the fuel system.
Cooling system
•Protect against freezing temperatures.
•
When removing vehicle from storage, check coolant fluid level. Confirm
there are no cooling system leaks, and 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, it may be advisable to disconnect the battery cables to ensure
battery charge is maintained for quick starting.
Note:If battery cables are disconnected, it will be necessary to reset
memory features.
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 vehicle are
covered with grease to prevent rust.
•Move vehicles at least 25 feet (8 m) every 15 days to lubricate
working parts and prevent corrosion.

WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to make an emergency
call if you can do it yourself. Dial emergency services immediately
to avoid delayed response time which could increase the risk of serious
injury or death after a crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist™ within five
seconds of the crash, the system or phone may be damaged or
non-functional.
WARNING:Always place your phone in a secure location in the
vehicle so it does not becoming a projectile or get damaged in a
collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to someone or damage
the phone which could prevent 911 Assist™ from working properly.
Note:SYNC911 Assist™ feature must be set on prior to the incident.
Note:Before setting this feature on, ensure that you read the 911
Assist™ privacy notice later in this section for important information.
Note:If 911 Assist™ is turned on or off by any user, that setting applies
for all paired phones. If 911 Assist™ is turned off, a voice message plays
and/or a display message/icon comes on when the vehicle is started after
a previously paired phone connects.
Note:Every phone operates differently. While SYNC911 Assist™ works
with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your
SYNC equipped vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connectedBluetooth-enabled phone.
For more information about 911 Assist™, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
•For information on airbag deployment, refer to theSupplementary
Restraints Systemchapter.
•For information on the fuel pump shut-off, refer to theRoadside
Emergencieschapter.

To make sure that 911 Assist™ works properly:
•SYNCmust be powered and working properly at the time of the
incident and throughout feature activation and use.
•SYNC911 Assist™ feature must be set on prior to the incident.
•A Bluetooth-enabled and compatible phone has to be paired and
connected to SYNC.
•A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have the ability to make
and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident.
•A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone must have adequate network
coverage, battery power and signal strength.
•The vehicle must have battery power and be located in the U.S.,
Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off (which
would activate 911 Assist™); however, if 911 Assist™ is triggered, SYNC
tries to contact emergency services. If a connected phone is damaged or
loses connection to SYNC, SYNCsearches for, and tries to connect to,
any available previously paired phone and tries to make the call to 911.
Before making the call:
•SYNCprovides a short window of time (about 10 seconds) to cancel
the call. Failure to cancel the call results in SYNCattempting to dial
911.
•SYNCsays the following, or a similar message: “SYNCwill attempt
to call 911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on your screen or press
and hold the phone button on your steering wheel.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded
message is played for the 911 operator, then the occupant(s) in the
vehicle is able to talk with the operator. Be prepared to provide your
name, phone number and location immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.

the vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or
activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updates to 911
Assist™ may also be capable of electronically or verbally disclosing to
911 operators the vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle
or crash to assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate
emergency services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do
not turn the feature on.
