Long-term parking

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

Long-term parking preparations

  • When leaving your vehicle parked for longer than one month, the recommended battery level is 40-60%. Use or charge the vehicle to reach the recommended level.
  • If you are leaving the vehicle 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 tire pressure. The recommended pressure during long-term parking is 330 kPA (48 psi).
  • 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 tire pressure.

 Tip

Keep the vehicle up to date

During periods when the vehicle goes unused, make a habit of checking for and installing software updates.

After long-term parking

  • Before driving the vehicle, make sure all core driving controls and functions work properly, such as the brakes.
  • Install any available software updates.
