主页 新闻 汽车专题 How To Put Your Car To Sleep For Two Weeks How To Put Your Car To Sleep For Two Weeks 汽车专题 Adam Aubrey | March 31日, 2020 03:31 PM The necessary restricted movement action by the government for Malaysia and her inhabitants has arrived, and apart from preparing food for the next two weeks, we must also prepare our vehicles for two weeks of downtime. Yes, it may seem trivial to think of this while there are other things to think of, but if you love your vehicle as much as we do, then here are some things that you can do to help your vehicle stay in top condition while it sleeps for two weeks. Wash and wax your car If you don't clean your car's exterior, the paint will be contaminated, and in the span of two weeks, it may get corroded and turn into rust. Clean and vacuum interior Once again, cleanliness is essential if your car will be sitting static for a while and if you leave dirt and debris in the interior which will be sitting for a set amount of time, it can cause irreversible damage. This is especially so for those who will have their car baking in the sun. Battery care If you do not plan to use your car at all in these two weeks, your battery might get drained. To stay safe, disconnect your battery. This is essential for older vehicles as they are not as efficient as newer cars. Fill it to the brim A full tank of fuel means there is less room for condensation and moisture is definitely not supposed to be in a fuel system. If possible, also fill up other essential fluids like power steering and brake fluids to the brim. Disengage Parking brake This is something that will catch most people off guard. If your vehicle is sitting still for an extended period and your parking brake is engaged, the brake pads can rust to the rotors/drum, causing a bonding effect which will seize your wheel. Instead, leave the transmission in Park and use blocks or bricks behind/ in front of tyres to inhibit it from moving. So there you have it, a few tips to put your car to sleep safely. ✕ 使用 WhatsApp 联系 我们依据 PDPA 保护您的个人信息。 我同意 Carlist.my 的使用条款和隐私政策 我同意接收来自 Carlist.my 及其汽车销售商、业务附属机构和合作伙伴的个性化通信。 查看最佳汽车优惠!
