When a vehicle is parked for a long time, the following should be noted: clean up items inside the vehicle before parking, choose a suitable parking location, protect the battery, protect the vehicle tires, properly store the vehicle keys, and conduct a comprehensive inspection before using the vehicle after long-term parking. Additional details are as follows: Clean up items inside the vehicle before parking: Remove food, beverages, packaging bags, and other items from the vehicle before parking to prevent mold; do not leave flammable or explosive items such as alcohol or lighters in the vehicle; avoid placing objects with convex lens effects, such as mineral water bottles, in the vehicle, as sunlight may focus on a single point inside the car, posing a fire risk. Choose a suitable parking location: If there is a garage, park the vehicle inside. If not, try to find a dry, ventilated, shaded, and rain-protected area to park, and consider using a car cover for additional protection. This helps protect leather, rubber, and the vehicle's surface, preventing rust on metal parts of the chassis due to moisture. Inspect the vehicle before use after long-term parking: Check the engine compartment and the underside of the vehicle for small animals, such as rodents that may have chewed through wiring or pipes, and observe the ground beneath the vehicle for signs of water or oil leaks; check if the lights are functioning properly, such as the brake signal lights at the rear; inspect the tires for deformities, cracks, bulges, or abnormal tire pressure to prevent accidents.
