the cable from the negative terminal).
Make sure the handbrake is not engaged.
Clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax.
Clean and protect the shiny metal parts using commercially
available special compounds.
Sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen wiper and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass.
Slightly open the windows.
Cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do
not use sheets of imperforated plastic as they do not allow
moisture on the car body to evaporate.
Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above the normal specified
pressure and check it at regular intervals.
Check the battery charge every six weeks.
Do not drain the engine cooling system.
