Winter operation

During winter operation, condensation develops when the vehicle is occu-
pied under low-temperature conditions. To ensure good interior air quality
and avoid vehicle damage from condensation, sufficient ventilation is essen-
tial.

When heating the vehicle, the heater should be at the highest setting
and roof storage cabinets, curtains and blinds should be opened. This
ensures optimal ventilation.

In the morning, lift up all cushions, air out storage boxes and dry any
damp areas.

If condensation has still developed, just wipe it off.

At the end of the winter season


Thoroughly clean the underbody of the vehicle and the engine. When
this is done, corrosion-inducing anti-freeze agents (salts, alkaline resi-
dues) are removed.

Clean the exterior and use regular car wax to protect metal surfaces.

Lay-up

Temporary lay-up

 If the vehicle has been stationary for a long period (approx.
10 months) have the braking and gas systems checked by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
 Take into consideration that water is undrinkable after only a short
time.
 Animal damage to cables can lead to short circuits. Fire hazard!
Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the ve-
hicle. This is especially true if the animal remains undisturbed in a parked
vehicle.
The animals can get into the vehicle at an opportune moment and hide from
view.
To keep damages from animals to a minimum or to avoid them altogether,
regularly check the vehicle for damage or animal traces. This is especially
important approx. 24 hours after parking the car in storage.
If animal traces are found, contact the authorised dealer or service centre. If
damage to cables has occurred, they can result in short circuits. The vehicle
could catch fire.
