What to Pay Attention to When a Vehicle Is Parked for a Long Time?

[CalebFitz]

Precautions for long-term vehicle parking: 1. Do not park next to residential buildings or garbage bins; 2. Appropriately increase tire pressure. Since only the part of the tire in contact with the ground bears the load, prolonged parking can easily cause deformation, and the longer the parking duration, the more severe the deformation and the harder it is to recover; 3. Prevent battery drain. If the vehicle is not driven for a long time, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Also, ensure all electrical appliances in the car are turned off when parking, such as lights, air conditioning, and audio system; 4. Avoid parking outdoors. If outdoor parking is unavoidable, use a car cover; 5. When restarting the vehicle, if it starts normally, remember to warm up the engine before driving. Due to gravity, lubricants in various parts flow to the bottom. Driving immediately without warming up can cause severe wear to the vehicle.
