Contact your authorized dealer if you have any concerns or issues. Cooling system • • Protect against freezing temperatures. When removing your vehicle from storage, check coolant fluid level. Confirm there are no cooling system leaks, and fluid is at the recommended level. Battery • • Check and recharge as necessary. Keep connections clean.
