Introduction
Long-term or off-site storage requires special care to keep vehicles factory fresh and ready for delivery. The following guidelines should be performed to
minimize vehicle component/part degradation due to extended vehicle storage conditions. Long-term storage can affect a vehicle's systems and
components. Any problems that are found should be corrected immediately.

Procedure
Parking and Paint Protection
^
Storage areas should be paved, well lit and secure. If your off-site storage lot is not paved, spread gravel down to minimize mud and dust. Be sure
vehicles are driven carefully when moving them to or from a long- term lot. This will help minimize damage to the paint finish from road grit or
gravel.
^
Park vehicles from right to left at least three feet apart. Leave enough space front and rear to easily walk between rows.
^
HVAC vent controls should be set to "Recirc" to minimize dust and odor intrusion.
^
Make sure the plastic door edge protectors are in place and fold in the side view mirror (if applicable).
