STORING THE VEHICLE
If the car is left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should
be observed:
park the car in covered, dry and if
possible well-ventilated premises and
slightly open the windows;
check that the electric parking brake is
not activated;
disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check the battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage;
if the battery is not disconnected from
the electrical system, check its state of
charge every thirty days;
clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
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;
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;
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard prescribed pressure and check
it periodically;
do not drain the engine cooling
system;
any time the car is left inactive for
two weeks or more, operate the air
conditioning system with engine idling
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.
IMPORTANT After setting the ignition
device to OFF and having closed
the driver door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the OFF position and the
driver's door is closed.
NOTE When the car has not been
started or driven for at least 30 days, an
extended park start procedure is required
to start the car.
Refer to the “Starting the engine”
chapter in the “Starting and driving”
section for more information.
