Vehicle Storage, Interior Care
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 and rear 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 tailgate seals. Also, apply a
vehicle body wax to the painted
surfaces that mate with the door
and tailgate 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.
Interior Care
Leather
Vacuum dirt and dust from the
leather frequently. Pay close
attention to the pleats and seams.
Clean the leather with a soft cloth
dampened with a 90% water and 10%
neutral wool detergent solution.
Then buff it with a clean, dry cloth.
Remove any dust or dirt on leather
surfaces immediately.
