12 Volt Battery
• When storing your vehicle for longer than
30 days the battery state of charge
should be approximately 50%.
Additionally, we recommend to
disconnect the 12v battery to reduce
system loads on the battery, or you can
use a trickle charger for longer storage
periods.
• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if you disconnect the battery cables.
Tires
• Maintain recommended air pressure.
• To minimize flat spots on the tires, inflate
all four tires to the recommended cold
pressures listed on the Safety
Compliance Certification label or Tire
Label affixed to your vehicle. When the
vehicle is taken out of storage, reset the
tire pressures as necessary 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.
Brakes
Make sure the brakes and parking brake fully
release.
Note: If you intend to park your vehicle for
an extended period after cleaning, drive it
for few minutes before parking. This reduces
the risk of corrosion of the brake discs, brake
pads and linings.
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.
