Body
•Wash your vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud
from exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing and the underside of the
front fenders.
•Periodically wash vehicles stored in exposed locations.
•Touch-up raw or primed metal to prevent rust.
•Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax
to prevent discoloration. Re-wax as necessary when you wash your
vehicle.
•Lubricate all hood and door hinges and latches with light grade oil.
•Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
•Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.
Engine
•Change the engine oil and filter before storage. Used engine oil
contains 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(s) with high-quality fuel until the first automatic
shutoff of the fuel pump nozzle.
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
Note:If battery cables are disconnected, it is necessary to reset memory
features.
•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 make
sure battery charge does not lose its charge.
Brakes
•Make sure to release the brakes and parking brake fully.

Note for aluminum wheels:Clean each wheel locator pad on the hub
from all dirt, rust and foreign material prior to re-installing rear
aluminum hub-piloted wheels. Apply a light coat of chassis grease,
never-seize or disc brake corrosion control grease, only to the wheel
locator pad.
3. Run the nuts on the studs until they contact the wheel(s). Rotate the
wheel assembly a half-turn to permit the parts to seat.
4. Draw-up the nuts alternately following the crisscross sequence
illustrated under the following wheel tightening sequence illustrations.
Do not fully tighten the nuts. This allows uniform seating of the nuts and
makes sure even face-to-face contact of the wheel and hub.
8–lug wheel
10–lug wheel
5. Continue tightening the nuts to the torque specifications in the torque
chart using the same crisscross sequence shown.
6. After operating the vehicle approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers),
check the nuts for tightness. You may encounter some natural seating of
parts and the torque on the nuts can drop. Retighten all nuts to
specifications.
Once a week, inspect and retighten the wheel stud nuts.

Note:Make sure the tire valve stem clears the brake caliper when
installing the tire and rim assembly on disc-brake equipped axles. The
use of a tire manufacturer’s stem forming tool is the only acceptable
method of obtaining clearance when necessary.
Proper Torque
It is important to tighten and maintain wheel and rim mounting nuts to
the proper torque. Loose nuts or over-tightened nuts can lead to
premature wear and possible failure of the wheel or mounting hardware.
Changing Wheel Types
WARNING:Use only the same type and style wheels and
mounting hardware to replace original parts. Failure to do so may
result in an assembly that looks fine, but does not fit together properly.
This could possibly cause wheel or fastener failures which could result
in property damage, personal injury or death.
Note:Do not attempt to mix stud-piloted wheels or fasteners with
hub-piloted wheels or fasteners.
Note:Do not change from aluminum wheels to steel wheels or
vice-versa without changing the mounting hardware required or, with
flange nut mounting systems, changing the hub and stud assembly.
Consult your dealer or wheel or rim distributor before attempting any
wheel or fastener changes.

Note:Do not use lubrication on dry threads. Where excessive corrosion
exists, you can apply a light coat of lubricant on the first three threads
of the stud bolt. Keep lubricant away from the:
•Hex nut and rim clamp contact surfaces.
•Cap nut ball face and ball seat on the disc wheel.
•Flange nut washer surface and flat on the disc wheel.
