CORRECT USE OF THE CAR
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 en-
gaged;
❒
disconnect battery negative terminal
and check the battery charge. This
check is to be repeated every three
months when the car is left inactive.
Recharge if the optical indicator
(where required) shows a dark colour
without the central green area (see
paragraph “Battery” in section “Car
maintenance”);
❒
clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
❒
clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds read-
ily available;
❒
sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒
slightly open the windows;
❒
cover the car with a cloth or perfo-
rated 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 sys-
tem.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
alarm system, switch off the alarm with
the remote control.
