With your foot on the brake, shift through all the gears while the
engine is running.
Fuel system
Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel until the first automatic shutoff
of the fuel pump nozzle.
Note: During extended periods of vehicle storage (30 days or more),
fuel may deteriorate due to oxidation. Add Motorcraft Gas Stabilizer or
equivalent meeting Ford material specification ESE-M99C112-A to the
vehicle fuel system whenever actual or expected storage periods exceed
30 days. Follow the instructions on the additive label. The vehicle should
then be operated at idle speed to circulate the additive throughout the
fuel system.
Cooling system
Protect against freezing temperatures.
When removing vehicle from storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm there are no cooling system leaks, and fluid is at the
recommended level.
Low voltage (underhood) battery
Check and recharge as necessary. Keep connections clean.
If storing your vehicle for more than 30 days without recharging the
battery, disconnect the negative terminal of the low voltage
(underhood) battery to prevent its charge from becoming depleted.
Note: If battery cables are disconnected, it will be necessary to reset
memory features.
Brakes
Make sure brakes and parking brake are fully released.
Tires
Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and pins under vehicle are
covered with grease to prevent rust.
Move vehicles at least 25 feet (8 m) every 15 days to lubricate
working parts and prevent corrosion.
