Removing Your Vehicle From Storage

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.
