STORAGE
Guideline
Storage temperature of battery without direct sunshine
–
Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large fluctuations in temperature.
–
Cover the vehicle with a tarp or cover that is permeable to air.
Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine of a vehicle in storage for a short time only. Because the engine will not warm up sufficiently, the
water vapor produced during combustion will condense, causing engine parts and the exhaust system to rust.
