Removing Your Vehicle From Storage - Ford SUPER DUTY 2024 Owner's Manual

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 on parking your vehicle
for an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your
vehicle for a few minutes before doing so to
reduce the risk of increased 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.
