Long-term storage of the vehicle

If the vehicle is laid up for more than one month, observe the following precautions:

• Park the vehicle in a covered, dry and, if possible, well-ventilated area;
• Engage a gear;
• Make sure the handbrake is released;
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal;
• Clean painted surfaces and apply protective wax;
• Treat bright metal parts with a commercially available protective agent.
• Dust the windscreen and rear window wiper blades with talc and lift them off the glass;
• Open the windows slightly;
• Cover the vehicle with a cloth or perforated plastic cover.

  Do not use solid plastic covers, as they prevent moisture on the vehicle surface from evaporating;

• Increase the specified tyre pressure by 0.5 bar and check it regularly;
• Do not drain the engine cooling system.

Note: if the vehicle is fitted with an alarm system, deactivate it using the remote control.
