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 possible well-

ventilated premises;

❒ engage a gear;

❒ check that the handbrake is not engaged;

❒ disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the

negative terminal) and check the battery charge.

This check is to be repeated every three months.

Recharge if the optical indicator shows a dark

colour without the central green area;

❒ 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 car with a cloth or perforated plastic

sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic

as they do not allow moisture on the car body to

evaporate;

❒ inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal specified

pressure and check it at intervals;

❒ if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electric

system, check its charge every month and recharge

it if the optical indicator shows a dark colour

without the central green area;

❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.
