With the 21-day lockdown announced to fight the Coronavirus, most of our rides will be sitting idle during this period. Here are some car care tips for you.
1. Tank up: Maintain a full tank so that the amount of air above the fuel is as less as possible leading to lower condensation.
2. Avoid engaging the parking brake: Keep the parked car in-gear but don't engage the parking brake as it could get jammed.
3. Keep the car clean: Keep the car in a clean state as bird droppings could damage the paint (if parked in open).
4. Disconnect battery: If your car is expected to be parked for a long time, disconnecting the battery will ensure that the battery charge doesn't deplete. Most batteries in decent shape should hold their charge for months when disconnected.
5. Or start the car every 4 - 5 days and let it idle for a bit.
6. Periodic maintenance: Ignore the scheduled maintenance for the time being. It should not cause any issues and most manufacturers have extended warranties and service periods due to this situation.
