LONG PERIODS OF
INACTIVITY
Precautions are needed to avoid the adverse
effects of prolonged inactivity.
Further, it is important to carry out the
necessary repairs and a general check up
before the period of inactivity, since you could
forget to carry them out later.
Proceed as follows:
◆ Remove the battery (see p. 67 REMOVING
THE BATTERY, and p. 66 LONG
INACTIVITY OF THE BATTERY).
◆ Wash and dry the vehicle, see p. 77
(CLEANING).
◆ Polish the painted surfaces with wax.
◆ Inflate the tyres, see p. 33 (TYRES).
