We recommend the following options for
your plug-in vehicle:
Leave your vehicle plugged in. The 12V
battery maintains power if left plugged
in. However, this periodically uses
electricity from the household outlet.
Connect a battery charger to your 12V
battery and leave it on a continuous,
slow charge.
Disconnect the 12V battery. If your 12V
battery is located in the luggage
compartment, do not fully shut the
luggage compartment after
disconnecting the 12V battery. Only
leave the luggage compartment open
if your vehicle is stored in a locked
location.
Brakes
Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
Make sure you cover all linkages,
cables, levers and pins under your
vehicle with grease to prevent rust.
Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent corrosion.

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.

material that may have collected
during storage such as mice or squirrel
nests.

Check brake pedal operation. Drive
your vehicle 15 ft (4.5 m) back and
forth to remove rust build-up.
Check fluid levels (including coolant
and gas) to make sure there are no
leaks, and fluids are at recommended
levels.
If you remove the 12-volt battery, clean
the cable ends and inspect.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have
any concerns or issues.
