CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be noted:
park the car in covered, dry and if pos-
sible well-ventilated premises;
engage a gear;
check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
disconnect the negative battery termi-
nal and check battery charge (see para-
graph “Charge level check”
in chapter
“Maintenance and care”). Repeat this
check once every three months dur-
ing storage. Recharge the battery if nec-
essary (see paragraph “If the battery is
flat” in chapter “In an emergency”);
clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able;
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
slightly open the windows;
cover the car with a fabric or perfo-
rated plastic terrapin. Do not use com-
pact plastic sheets which do
not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface
of the car;
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month (see paragraph “Charge
level check” in chapter “Maintenance
and care”);
recharge the battery if necessary (see
paragraph “If the battery is flat” in chap-
ter “In an emergency”);
do not drain the engine cooling system.
