LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY

!
CAUTION
If the vehicle remains unused for more
than twenty days, disconnect the 30A
fuses, in order to avoid the deterioration
of the battery caused by the current
consumption due to the multifunction
computer.
NOTE
With the removal of the 30A fuses
the functions of the digital clock are set to
zero. To reset these functions, see p. 20
(SETTING BUTTONS).
After a long period of inactivity of the
vehicle some precautions are necessary to
avoid any problem.
Further, it is important to carry out the
necessary repairs and a general check up
before the period of inactivity, since you
could forget to carry them out later.
