11.8 Winter care
De-icing salt damages the underbody and the parts open to water spray. We
recommend that you wash the vehicle more frequently during wintertime.
Mechanical and surface treated parts and the underside are under particular
strain, and should therefore be cleaned thoroughly.

If there is any risk of frost, always run heater at a minimum of 15 °C.
Switch the circulation fan (if there is one) to automatic. In the case of ex-
treme external temperatures, the furniture flaps and doors should be left
slightly open. The inflowing warm air can help prevent the freezing of
water pipes, for example, and counteract the formation of condensation
in the storage spaces.

If there is any risk of frost, cover the outside surface of the windows with
winter insulation mats.
11.9 Lay-up
11.9.1 Temporary lay-up

If the vehicle has been stationary for a long period (approx.
10 months) have the braking and gas systems checked by an author-
ised specialist workshop.

Take into consideration that water is undrinkable after only a short
time.

Animal damage to cables can lead to short circuits. Fire hazard!
Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the ve-
hicle. This is especially true if the animal remains undisturbed in a parked
vehicle.
To keep damages from animals to a minimum or to avoid them altogether,
regularly check the vehicle for damage or animal traces.
If animal traces are found, contact the authorised dealer or service centre. If
damage to cables has occurred, they can result in short circuits. The vehicle
could catch fire.
Before laying up the vehicle, go through the following checklist:
Activity Done
Base vehicle
Completely fill fuel tank. This prevents corrosion damage within the
fuel tank system
Jack up vehicle so that the wheels do not bear any load, or move vehi-
cle every 4 weeks. This prevents any pressure points from occurring
on tyres and wheel bearings
Protect the tyres from direct exposure to the sun. Danger of formation
of cracks!
Inflate tyres up to the recommended maximum pressure
Always provide for sufficient ventilation in the underbody area
 Humidity or lack of oxygen e.g. by covering with plastic film
may cause optical irregularities to the underbody
In addition observe the notes in the operating manual of the base vehi-
cle
