Long-term parking

Follow the long-term parking recommendations when your car will go unused for longer than one month. Remember to regularly check on the car when it's parked.

Long-term parking preparations

  • When leaving your car parked for longer than one month, the recommended battery level is 25-50%. 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 but set the battery charging limit to 50%. 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

Keep the car up to date

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.
