If The Vehicle Is Stored For Long Periods - Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Owner's Manual

In order to maintain the shine of the paintwork, polish it once or twice
a year with the products recommended by Ferrari.
• Areas that are cracked or chipped as a result of stones, scratches
or parking manoeuvres, etc. must immediately be treated at an
Authorised Ferrari Service Centre.
• Do not park the vehicle in damp and/or unventilated areas for long
periods of time.
Cleaning the interior - Cleaning and care of the leather
upholstery
Proper and regular treatment of the leather upholstery, at least 3-4
times a year, will help ensure the original quality, natural features and
softness of the leather in your Ferrari.
With this in mind, specific products are also available for maintenance
of the leather, ("Cleaner" and "Cream"), both tested by Ferrari.
These products can be ordered through the Ferrari Spare Parts
Department, both individually and as part of the "CARE KIT" which
includes the entire range of cleaning products for the vehicle.
For instructions on using the "CARE KIT" products, see the
"Carrozzeria Scaglietti" owner's manual and the instructions included
with the KIT.
The following products must be avoided when cleaning the leather:
harsh detergents, turpentine, liquid stain removers, petrol, solvents and
domestic cleaning products. All of these products damage the natural
material.

If the vehicle is stored for long periods

If the vehicle is not used for long periods of time, it is advisable to take
certain precautions:
• if possible, park the vehicle on a level surface, in a covered and well-
ventilated area;
• keep the vehicle stationary by engaging a gear and do not use the
parking brake;
• increase tyre pressure to 3.0 bar and periodically turn the wheels so
that the car does not stand constantly on the same tyre spot;
• connect the battery conditioner as described on page 142.
If you do not wish to disconnect the battery in order to keep certain devices
functioning such as: radio station memory, alarm system, etc., the battery
must be recharged at least once a month.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods of time with the battery disconnected,
the battery must be recharged at least every three months.
• Protect the vehicle with a breathable fabric cover, avoiding materials
that prevent the humidity on the vehicle body from evaporating.
Before using the vehicle after long periods of inactivity, make sure that
the tyre pressure is correct (see page 17) and check the levels of all the
fluids in the systems.
