Safety Precautions For New Vehicles That Are Being Put In Storage - AP00.70-S-1000Z

Model 907 

	Work instructions
1	New vehicles in the context of this description are vehicles for which no inspection has been carried out to date. For other vehicles, the instructions in the Specifications for Operating Fluids apply
2	In areas in which extremely high corrosive attacks can be expected from experience, the measures given here are not always sufficient even for new vehicles	Export countries:  In these cases, proceed as per the Specifications for Operating Fluids.
3	Handling the battery when parking the vehicle	Check or if necessary charge the battery every 3 months.
4	Handing tire pressure when parking the vehicle	On vehicles which have been parked for longer than 2 months, the tire pressure should be increased to approx. 4.7 bar to avoid flats. Check tire pressures every 3 months and correct if necessary.
5	Treatment of brake system when parking up vehicle: Treat brake disks with zinc dust spray paint	Apply the service brake until it becomes warm so that any moisture on the brake disks and brake linings evaporates. This prevents the brake linings from becoming stuck to the brake disks. If vehicles are parked up for a long period of time, treat the friction ring of the brake disks with zinc dust spray paint. The zinc dust spray paint is applied in a controlled manner at several points on the outer and inner side (see picture). The zinc dust spray can be spread out across the entire friction ring by turning the wheel or moving the vehicle a few meters. The zinc dust paint protects the friction ring against surface corrosion and can thus prevent complaints such as shuddering and squeaking. Release parking brake. The vehicle is to be secured by engaging first gear (manual transmission) or park pawl (automatic transmission) and by wheel chocks.

6	Handling the fuel system when parking the vehicle	To protect the fuel tank from corrosion, we recommend that the vehicle fuel tank is completely filled. Then allow gasoline engines to run warm for 2-3 minutes.
7	Handling the vehicle interior when parking the vehicle.	Remove paper and other objects from the instrument panel, seats and trunk. Withdraw ignition key. Open all ventilation flaps. Set up sun visors. Eliminate dirt, snow and wet from the vehicle, especially in the footwell. Correct carpet protective coverings and protective foils on the seats if necessary.
8	Handling the door, flaps, windows and windows when parking the vehicle.	Close doors, liftgate, engine hood, windows and sliding roof. Clamp and secure polystyrene pads under the wiper arms. Disassemble aero wiper blades and store at a suitable point in the vehicle.
9	Handling the paint surface when parking the vehicle	Drive vehicle slowly and carefully in the parking space with adequate distance. Do not park the vehicle under power lines, in the immediate vicinity of railway lines, trees, bushes, masts, etc. Remove dirt, snow and moisture from the vehicle. Check the vehicle weekly for attack from aggressive media (e.g. bird lime, industrial fallout) and clean/wash if necessary and retreat with preservative. Every 6 months remove preservative from vehicle, remove transport films, investigate vehicle for damage and then provide with a new preservative (does not affect vehicles which have already had preservative removed and are ready for sale).
