In summer and winter, the car, as a rule, does not require any additional maintenance operations.
In winter, when parked for a long time (more than a week) the battery may need to be charged (see "Battery - charging"), and in frosty weather after a thaw, the locks are treated with a special defrosting solution to prevent them from freezing and remove ice. It is recommended to regularly, at least once a month, turn on the air conditioning system regardless of the ambient temperature, so that the compressor and seals receive the required amount of lubricant.
In summer, during the period of poplar fluff fall, it may be necessary to blow out the radiator of the cooling system with compressed air to avoid engine overheating.
