Maintenance and Care
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 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) mode,
let the engine idle for several minutes.
WARNING!
The engine idle must be performed
outdoors. Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide which is strongly toxic and
potentially lethal.
