In-storage car care

In-storage car care

In-storage car care is compulsory on all Saab cars at intervals of no longer than 60 days until the car is sold. The battery must be checked monthly, see Battery check . See Policies and Procedures (P & P).

Perform checks and confirm by signing the report. Report, see .

Refer to service information and procedures when rectifying faults.

Inspection and rectification points


1. Check that the paint protector is intact. If it needs making good, the car must first be washed so that dust and dirt will not be enclosed. Inspect the paintwork, make a note of any damage and apply fresh paint protector.

Important

RAPGARD paint protector must only be applied to a car for maximum 3 months and must be removed after this time. For removing, see section “Final removal and finishing measures.


2. Fill the fuel tank to at least 2/3 full to prevent the fuel pump from running dry.

3. Check battery condition, see Battery check .


4. Check engine oil.





5. Check the tyre pressures and if necessary adjust to 3.5 bar (50 psi).


Important

If the car is parked for lengthier periods with underinflated tyres, a flat area will be formed on them where they rest on the ground. This gives rise to vibration and makes wheel balancing more difficult.


6. Drive the car for at least 200 metres, applying the brakes briefly and repeatedly so that the brake discs will be clean and dry.

7. Check the protective plastic on the seats and adjust if necessary.

8. Make sure that: The handbrake is released and in the off position. Reverse gear is engaged (manual gearbox). The selector lever is in position P (automatic transmission). All windows, doors and the luggage compartment are properly closed.

9. Lock the car.

10. Check the engine bay for signs of corrosion, especially the aluminium. If this is the case, treat the areas with Teroson Skyddsvax, part no. 30 15 914. Cover with a film of wax with no surplus (10-15 µm when dry).

Important

The protective wax may well be left on as engine bay protection when the car is delivered to a customer. If the customer will not accept the waxed surface, it must of course be washed off.


Warning

Bear in mind the fire risk. Make particularly sure that the temperature in the engine bay has gone down. Do not spray onto the ends of the generator.


11. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery or remove the battery and charge it.

Close the bonnet.
