- a canopy where the temperature and humidity correspond to the parameters of the environment, there is a constant movement of air and there is no direct effect of solar radiation and precipitation;
- heated room (individual garage) with a temperature not lower than 5°C and a relative humidity of 50-70%, equipped with supply and exhaust ventilation.
If the heated room (individual garage) has inefficient supply and exhaust ventilation, and the car is operated in the winter or after washing it is put into storage without prior drying, then the destructive effects on the protective and decorative coatings increase many times.
Long-term storage of the car in winter under a canopy or in an unheated room is allowed under the following conditions:
- 1. Drain the water from the glass washer reservoir.
- 2. Wash the car and wipe the body dry. Apply a preservative to the body.
- 3. Fully charge the battery, remove and store it separately.
Vehicle maintenance during storage (once every two months) is as follows:
- start the car engine for 1-2 minutes, taking measures to remove exhaust gases;
- check the operability of systems and signaling devices;
- turn off the engine.
