Additional action if the car is to be stored outdoors

  1. Check the coolant level and anti-freeze content. The coolant should handle at least -30°C (-22°F). It then also provides maximum corrosion protection. For certain climates, the mixture must handle lower temperatures. Top up as necessary following the specification.
  2. If the car's paint protection plastic has been removed, the car must be stored under a roof.
  3. Drive the car to the parking area. While doing so, brake repeatedly very briefly so that the brake discs become clean and dry.
  4. Make sure:
    • The parking brake lever is released to its home position.
    • Manual gearbox:  Reverse gear engaged.
    • Automatic transmission:  Gear selector in P.
    • All windows, doors and the boot lid/tailgate are properly closed.
  5. Check the protective plastic on the seats and correct as necessary.
  6. Open the bonnet.
  7. Lock the car.
    NOTE: As the car's electrical system is in transport mode, the car can only be locked manually. The left front door is locked using the metal key that is in the remote control and other doors are locked from the inside using the lock buttons.
