Extended storage times cannot always be avoided. The following measures are recommended to ensure that vehicle
quality is not affected by long-term storage:
At vehicle delivery:
Fill tank
•
Do not park the vehicle under trees, poles; etc.
•
Open all ventilation flaps, set blower to maximum speed
•
Disconnect battery(ies)
•
Remove dirt, snow and moisture from vehicle (footwell)
•
Close windows, doors, front lid, rear lid and sunroof
•
Put manual gearbox into 1st gear or lever of automatic gearbox into park position. Do not engange reverse gear.
Do not apply the parking brake.
•
Remove the windscreen wiper bags and prop up the wiper arm using a foam pad, remove any loose protective
film. ("Aero wipers": remove and store in suitable location inside vehicle).
•
Check tyre pressures; increase to 4.5 bar for commercial vehicles, if required.
•
Check vehicles weekly for contamination by aggressive media (e.g. bird droppings, industrial dusts) and clean, if required.
Check battery open-circuit voltage every three months. Open-circuit voltage means the voltage of the disconnected
battery after a minimum storage period of 12 hours. Recharge battery in due time before it reaches an open-circuit voltage
of 12.4 volt ('magic eye' changes from green to black). Batteries with an open-circuit voltage of less than 11.6 volt are in
state of exhaustive discharge and should be disposed of soon.
Batteries must be recharged only with current-controlled and voltage-limited chargers. A maximum charging voltage of
14.4 volt must not be exceeded.
It is recommended to check the tyre inflation pressure every three months and to increase it to 4.5 bars for commercial
vehicles, if required.
Reconnect battery negative lead(s) before recommissioning the vehicle.
