Starting and driving
Long-term parking
If the car is not going to be used for some
time, e.g. 3–4 months, the following steps
are recommended:
• Run the engine to normal temperature
before long-term parking.
• Drain the washer-fluid reservoir and
hoses.
• Wash and wax the car. Clean the rubber
seals on the hood, luggage compartment
lid and doors, and lubricate them with
glycerol (glycerin).
• After washing the car, dry the brake discs
by taking the car out on the road and
applying the brakes a few times.
• Fill the fuel tank with fuel to prevent con-
densation forming in it.
• Top up the coolant and check the anti-
freeze before the onset of winter.
• Park the car in a dry, covered and
well-ventilated building. Leave the park-
ing brake OFF!
• Disconnect the negative (–) battery lead.
If frost is likely to occur during the
long-term parking, remove the battery
and store it away from the frost.
• Ideally, the car should be put up on blocks,
with the wheels off the ground. If this is not
possible, inflate the tires to about 43 psi
(300 kPa).
• Leave all the windows open a crack and
cover the car with a fabric tarpaulin – not
one made of plastic.
