STORAGE 180
–
Recharge the battery. x ( p. 128)
Guideline
Storage temperature of battery without direct sunshine. 0… 35 °C (32… 95 °F)
– The storage place should be dry and not subject to large temperature differences.
– Cover the vehicle with a porous sheet or blanket. Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus
causing corrosion.
Info
Avoid running the engine of a vehicle in storage for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water
vapor produced during combustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.
