If you need to park your vehicle for

an extended period (more than 1

month), there are several things you

should do to prepare it for storage.

Proper preparation helps prevent

deterioration and makes it easier to

get your vehicle back on the road. If

possible, store your vehicle indoors.

Fill the fuel tank.

Wash and dry the exterior

completely.

Cleantheinterior.Makesurethe

carpeting, floor mats, etc., are

completely dry.

Leave the parking brake off. Put

the transmission in reverse

(manual) or Park (automatic).

Block the rear wheels.

If the vehicle is to be stored for a

longer period, it should be

supported on jackstands so the

tires are off the ground.

Leave one window open slightly (if

the vehicle is being stored

indoors).

Disconnect the battery.

Support the front wiper blade

arms with a folded towel or rag so

they do not touch the windshield.

To minimize sticking, apply a

silicone spray lubricant to all door

and trunk seals. Also, apply a

vehiclebodywaxtothepainted

surfaces that mate with the door

and trunk seals.

Cover the vehicle with a

‘‘breathable’’ cover, one made

from a porous material such as

cotton. Non-porous materials, such

as plastic sheeting, trap moisture,

which can damage the paint.

If possible, periodically run the

engine until it reaches full

operating temperature (the

cooling fans cycle on and off

twice). Preferably, do this once a

month.
