Tires up to 50 psi (but not any more). Pop the front trunk in case the battery is dead when you come back. The trunk light wll go out on its own. Add gas stabilizer to a full tank of gas.
Thats all I did for this winter.

This info is in your Owner's Manual and the "search" button. There are a ton of threads with great advice about storage.

This is incorrect. Your Owner's Manual states 58 PSI.

Your are correct about the 58 psi in the owners manual. I just don't like taking them up that far.... my personal feeling... never read anything.

just 1 more note, consider changing your oil prior to storage.
