What are the effects of long-term vehicle parking?
1 Answers
The effects of long-term vehicle parking are: flat spots may develop on the tires, and the engine and transmission may not receive sufficient lubrication. This can cause rusting of some metal components inside the engine and transmission, and prolonged parking can also lead to brake disc rust. It is recommended not to leave the vehicle parked for extended periods without use. Long-term parking may also result in battery discharge, shortening the battery's lifespan. If the car will not be used for a long time, it is advisable to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. After the vehicle has been parked for a while, the contact areas of the four tires are prone to pressure-induced deformation. The longer the parking duration, the harder it is for the deformed areas to recover, eventually rendering the tires unusable. If not replaced in time, high-speed driving may cause body vibrations, posing a safety hazard.
