Brakes
•
Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
• To avoid flat spots in the tires, inflate
all four tires to the maximum inflation
pressure noted on the tire sidewall.
When the vehicle is taken out of
storage, reset the tire pressures to the
recommended levels listed on the
Safety Compliance Certification label
or Tire Label affixed to your vehicle.
Note: If you store your vehicle in a location
with low ambient temperatures, follow the
instructions for care of summer tires. See
Using Summer Tires (page 188).
Miscellaneous
• Move vehicles at least
25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent flat spots in the tires.
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 and engine cover
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 with the brake lightly applied.
• Check fluid levels (including coolant,
oil and gas) to make sure there are no
leaks, and fluids are at recommended
levels.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have
any concerns or issues.

Oils and Fluids
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair.
