STORAGE FOR A LONG PERIOD
OF TIME (ELECTRIC VEHICLE)
If the vehicle is to be stored for several
months:
Wash and wax the vehicle.
Have the wax in the engine
compartment and underbody checked.
Clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds available
commercially.
Sprinkle talcum powder on the
windscreen and rear window wiper
rubber blades and lift them off the glass.
Clean and preserve the rubber seals.
Cover the car with a fabric or
perforated plastic sheet, paying
particular care not to damage the
painted surface by dragging any dust
that may have accumulated on it. Do not
use compact plastic sheets which do not
allow humidity to evaporate from the
surface of the car.
Disable the alarm system of the car
(where provided).
Drain the washer fluid reservoir.
Check the coolant antifreeze and
corrosion protection. Do not drain the
cooling system.
Check the state of charge of the
conventional battery every 30 days. The
amount of charge of the high-voltage
battery may gradually decrease when the
car is not used. Therefore, avoid long
stays with a charge state close to zero. If
possible, monitor the state of charge and
prevent it from reaching excessively low
levels. Follow these warnings even for
longer stays of less than a month (a few
weeks).
Take the high-voltage battery to a
charge level close to 100%.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load.
Operate the climate control system
for at least 5 minutes, setting external
air and with fan set to maximum speed.
This operation will ensure appropriate
lubrication for the system, thus
minimising the possibility of damage to
the compressor when the system is
operated again.
Park the vehicle in a dry, well
ventilated place and slightly open the
windows. Engage first or reverse gear or
set the PRND command to P . Prevent
the vehicle from rolling.
Do not apply the parking brake.
Open the bonnet, close all doors and
lock the vehicle.
