MAINTENANCE
VEHICLE PARKING FOR LONG DU-
RATION (Non - Use Maintenance)
If you want to park your vehicle at one
place for long duration, following care is to
be taken:
1. Park the vehicle in a covered, dry and
if possible, well-ventilated premises.
2. Remove the 12V battery terminal ca-
bles (first remove the cable from the
negative terminal). Ensure that 12V
battery is fully charged.
3. Block the wheel or engage in the gear
mode.
4. Clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax.
5. Clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using commercially available
special compounds.
6. Sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen wiper and lift them off the
glass.
7. Slightly open the windows.
8. Cover the vehicle with a cloth or perfo-
rated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets
of imperforated plastic as they do not
206
allow moisture on the vehicle body to
evaporate.
9. Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above the
normal specified pressure and check it
at regular intervals.
10. Check the HV battery charge every six
weeks.
11. The HV battery undergoes discharge
at a rate of approximately 2% over a
period of 30 days in storage. Do not
allow the vehicle to be discharged to
0% in storage. It is recommended that
the vehicle must be charged to a
charge level in between 30% to 50%
before leaving the vehicle for long time
storage. After this time period the ve-
hicle must be charged to 100% using
Normal Charging or AC charging be-
fore use. This will keep the battery to
full charge while also keeping the aux-
iliary power systems ready to use.
12. Do not drain the coolant in motor cool-
ing system.
