Preparation for Long-Term Car Parking
If the car is not used for a long time (more than 1 month), doing these preparations can avoid vehicle faults and protect vehicle parts. First of all, park the car in a flat, ventilated and cool place, avoid long-term exposure to the sun or rain. Exposure to the sun will accelerate the aging of car paint and rubber parts, and rain may cause body rust and dampness of electrical parts.
Secondly, turn off all on-board electrical equipment and disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery to avoid long-term power loss of the battery. If conditions permit, connect a battery charger to charge the battery regularly. The tires need to be inflated to about 1.2 times the standard tire pressure to avoid tire deformation and air leakage due to long-term pressure. At the same time, you can put pads under the wheels to reduce tire pressure.
In addition, fill the fuel tank to reduce the air in the fuel tank and prevent rust on the inner wall of the fuel tank. Fuel stabilizer can be added to prevent gasoline deterioration. Close the windows and sunroof to seal the car body to avoid dust and debris entering the car. At the same time, you can place desiccants in the car to absorb moisture in the car and prevent mold on the interior. Finally, start the vehicle once a month and idle for 10-15 minutes to drive the engine, transmission and other parts to operate, lubricate the relevant parts and avoid aging.
