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.

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.
