PROLONGED INACTIVITY
A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition
whenever it is to remain inactive for a long period (e.g. during the winter):
•
Thoroughly clean the vehicle.
•
Reduce the tyre pressures by approximately 30 percent, and if possible raise the
tyres off the ground.
•
Cover the unpainted parts, excepting the brakes and the rubber parts, with a film
of oil or spray silicone.
•
Remove the battery (page 68) and follow the instructions for inactivity (page
69) and recharging (page 70).
AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY
•
Reinstall the battery.
•
Restore the tyre inflating pressures.
•
Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function.
