When your vehicle is ready to come out of storage, do the following:
  • We recommend that you change the engine oil before you use your vehicle again.
  • Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or grease film build-up on window surfaces.
  • Check windshield wipers for any deterioration.
  • Check the underhood for any foreign materials such as mice or squirrel nests.
  • Check the exhaust for any foreign materials.
  • Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.
  • Check brake pedal operation. Corroded brake rotors could cause brake noise. Drive your vehicle and gently apply and release the brakes repeatedly over a 10-minute drive to reduce the corrosion from the brakes.
  • Check fluid levels (including coolant, oil and gas) to make sure there are no leaks, and fluids are at recommended levels.
  • If you remove the battery, clean the battery cable ends and check for damage.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have any concerns or issues.
