MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 239 original position. If any further adjustments are necessary contact your manufacturer's dealer. A detailed service procedure is contained in the manufacturer's Service Manual. Information on purchasing a Service Manual can be found at the back of this Owner's Manual. VEHICLE STORAGE We recommend that you follow these guidelines before storing your Crossfire for extended periods. • Fill the gas tank. This will prevent water condensation inside the tank. If you plan on storing your vehicle more than two months, add an anti-oxidant fuel stabilizer to the gas tank. • Change the oil to remove any corrosive combustionrelated acids in the crankcase. • Wash and wax the vehicle to protect the finish. • Cover the vehicle whenever possible to prevent accidental damage to the finish. • Store the vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated location. • If the vehicle will be subjected to freezing temperatures, remove the battery and store it in a dry, wellventilated place. If the vehicle is not going to be driven in the next three weeks, follow the battery recharge procedure in the Service Manual, then disconnect the battery at the negative terminal. CAUTION! Use care when disconnecting the remote positive cable. It is connected to the battery and can short out to any metal on the vehicle. Always tape or wrap the exposed cable end to prevent electrical shorts. Disconnecting the battery causes the engine control system to lose memory of some "learned" functions. The engine may run rough when first started after a battery disconnect until the control module "relearns" these functions. 7
