Preparations
The following applies for preparations:
• Check vehicle for damage to varnish or rust. If necessary,
repair damage.
• Ensure that water cannot get into the compulsory ventilation
in the floor or the heating.
• Protect the metal parts of the underbody against rust with
a wax preservative.
• Use a suitable material to preserve the exterior varnished
surfaces.
Operating in winter

mely important to ensure that the quality of the air inside the
vehicle is good and to avoid damages to the vehicle caused
by condensation.
