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.

during storage (mice/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 the vehicle 15 feet (4.5 meters)

back and forth to remove rust build-up.

• Check fluid levels (including coolant, oil and gas) to make sure there

are no leaks and fluids are at recommended levels.

• If the battery was removed, clean the battery cable ends and inspect.
