VEHICLE STORAGE
The following precautions should be
taken if the vehicle will not be used for
several months:
– park the vehicle in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises;
– engage a gear;
– remove the cables from the battery
(first remove the cable to the negative
terminal) and check the battery
charge. If the vehicle is to be stored
for long periods the charge of the battery
should be checked every month
and recharged if it falls below 12.5 V;
134 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE
– make sure the handbrake is not engaged;
– clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
– clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds readily
available;
– sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
– slightly open the windows;
– cover the vehicle with a cloth or
perforated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the vehicle
body to evaporate;
– inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
– do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant,
switch off the electronic vehicle alarm
with the remote control and deactivate
the system by turning the emergency
key to OFF (see “Electronic
alarm” in section “Getting to know
your vehicle”).
