Vehicle care

General Information

Accessories and vehicle
modifications
We recommend the use of genuine
parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or
guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Do not make any modifications to the
electrical system, e.g. changes of
electronic control units (chip tuning).
Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.

Vehicle storage

Storage for a long period of time
If the vehicle is to be stored for several
months:
● Wash and wax the vehicle.
● Have the wax in the engine
compartment and underbody
checked.
● Clean and preserve rubber seals.
● Change engine oil.
● Drain washer fluid reservoir.
● Check coolant antifreeze and
corrosion protection.
● Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load.
● Park vehicle in a dry, well
ventilated place. Engage first or
reverse gear. Prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
● Do not apply parking brake.
● Open bonnet, close all doors and
lock the vehicle.
● Disconnect the clamp from the
negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems
are not functional, e.g. anti-theft

Putting back into operation
When the vehicle is to be put back into
operation:
● Connect the clamp to the
negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Activate the electronics
of the power windows.
