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:
• Park the vehicle on a level surface in a covered and well-ventilated
area;
• lock the vehicle in position by engaging a gear and avoid use of the
handbrake;
• bring the tyre pressure to 3.0 bar (44 psi) and periodically change the
tyre resting point on the ground.
• disconnect the battery from the system as indicated on page 137.
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 bodywork from evaporating.
