Default Start up after storage

This is the first winter that we have had our 2013 XK. Its been in the garage, unused since November. Always hooked up to a CTEK. Is there anything that should be done to the car to bring it out of hibernation other than check tire pressure? I added a fuel stabilizer when I put it away.

thanks
Steve

Let it idle for at least a minute or two before moving it, then idle it around to get the fluids moving and coating the rubbing parts.

I also wouldn't be afraid to take it out every couple weeks as long as the roads are worthy. Today it was 68 outside, yesterday and tomorrow will be freezing.
