Restarting the Vehicle
after a Long Inactivity
Before restarting the vehicle after
a long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you carry out the
following operations.
• Check the tires for pressure and for
any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is
the case, have them replaced.
• Do not dry-rub the external surface
of the vehicle.
• Visually inspect if there are any fluid
leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid,
engine coolant etc.).
• Have the engine oil and filter
replaced.
• Check the fluid levels in the brake
system, as well as the engine coolant
level.
• Check the air filter and have them
replaced if necessary.
• Reconnect the battery after checking
the charge status (refer to "Battery
Status and Maintenance" in this
section) and perform the initialising
procedure if applicable.
• With the gearshift in N (Neutral), let
the engine idle for several minutes.
Maintenance and Care
WARNING!
The engine idle must be performed
outdoors. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which is strongly
toxic and potentially lethal.
