VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more
than 3 weeks, you may want to take these steps
to protect your battery.
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (e.g., vacation) for two weeks or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh air and
high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the
system is started again.
CAUTION!
Do not move the vehicle in temperatures
below 15°F with the drag radials installed. In
temperatures below 15°F, tires can lose
flexibility and that can lead to cracking and
other tire damage. Always inspect for signs of
cracking and damage before use.
