Long-term parking preparations
- When leaving your car parked for longer than one month, the recommended battery level is 40-60%. Use or charge the car to reach the recommended level.
- If you are leaving the car parked for longer than three months, it's recommended to keep it plugged in. This is for better battery health.
- Check and adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended level.
- Choose a cool and shaded location. An environment with controlled and consistent conditions is recommended.
During long-term parking
Regularly check:
- the state of charge and that charging is working properly
- the tyre pressure.
Tip

During periods when the car goes unused, make a habit of checking for and installing software updates.
After long-term parking
- Before driving the car, make sure the driving controls and features work properly, such as the brakes.
- Install any available software updates.
