Removing vehicle from storage  - Vehicle storage - Maintenance and Specifications - Lincoln MKS Owners Manual - Lincoln MKS

When your vehicle is ready to come out of storage, do the following:

• Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or grease film build-up on window surfaces.
• Check windshield wipers for any deterioration.
• Check under the hood for any foreign material that may have collected during storage (mice/squirrel nests).
• Check the exhaust for any foreign material that may have collected during storage.
• Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.
• Check brake pedal operation. Drive the vehicle 15 ft (4.5 meters) back and forth to remove rust build-up.
• Check fluid levels (including coolant, oil and gas) to make sure there are no leaks, and fluids are at recommended levels.
• If the battery was removed, clean the battery cable ends and inspect.

If you have any concerns or issues, contact your authorized dealer.
