Long periods of inactivity (03_15)
If the vehicle is not used for a long time, the performance of the battery will deteriorate.
This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging, and may be due
to residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. The
deterioration of the battery's performance is also the result of environmental conditions
and how clean the terminals are. To avoid any starting difficulties and/or irreparable
damage to the battery, you should do the following:
-
At least once a month
start up the engine and turn it over at a speed slightly above
idling, for 10-15 minutes. This will enable you to keep all the parts of the engine in
working order as well as the battery.
- Take your vehicle to a garage (as indicated in the «Vehicle not used for extended
periods» section) to have the battery removed. The battery must be cleaned, fully
charged and kept in a dry, well aerated place. Charge the battery
again at least every
two months
.
N.B.
THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED WITH A CURRENT EQUAL TO 1/10 OF THE
RATED CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY AND FOR NOT LONGER THAN 10 HOURS.
IN ANY CASE, IT IS PREFERABLE TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE AT AN AU-
THORISED SERVICE CENTRE. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE
THE LEADS ARE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY LEADS
WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING; THIS CAN CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE
TO THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT.
