STORAGE 162
– Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large fluctuations in tempera-
ture.
– Cover the vehicle with a tarp or similar 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 com-
bustion will condense, causing engine parts and the exhaust system to rust.
