place for long duration, following care is to
be taken:
Park the vehicle in a covered, dry and 1.
if possible, well-ventilated premises.
Remove the 12V battery terminal ca- 2.
bles (first remove the cable from the
negative terminal). Ensure that 12V
battery is fully charged.
Block the wheel or engage in the gear 3.
mode.
Clean and protect the painted parts 4.
using protective wax.
Clean and protect the shiny metal 5.
parts using commercially available
special compounds.
Sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber 6.
windscreen wiper and lift them off the
glass.
Slightly open the windows. 7.
Cover the vehicle with a cloth or perfo- 8.
rated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets
of imperforated plastic as they do not
allow moisture on the vehicle body to
evaporate.
Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above the 9.
normal specified pressure and check it
at regular intervals.
Check the HV battery charge every six 10.
weeks.
The HV battery undergoes discharge 11.
at a rate of approximately 2% over a
period of 30 days in storage. Do not
allow the vehicle to be discharged to
0% in storage. It is recommended that
the vehicle must be charged to a
charge level in between 30% to 50%
before leaving the vehicle for long time
storage. After this time period the ve-
hicle must be charged to 100% using
Normal Charging or AC charging be-
fore use. This will keep the battery to
full charge while also keeping the aux-
iliary power systems ready to use.
Do not drain the coolant in motor cool- 12.
ing system.
