Qatar Automobiles Company, the authorised distributor of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation in Qatar, shared tips on how to protect vehicles when they sit unused.
These quick and easy steps will help drivers maintain their vehicles when not in use for a long period, according to a statement.

"This is part of our mission towards our community to raise awareness and provide support to all our customers. We urge everyone to pay attention to their vehicles and follow the instructions provided by Fuso experts”.
The tips recommended include disconnecting the ground line at the battery to prevent discharging, lightly apply grease to the negative terminal, ensure maximum fuel in the tank to avoid rust, apply prescribed lubricant to all lubricant points on the chassis and rear body.
Additionally, Fuso recommends parking the vehicle on a flat surface and ensure tyres are positioned straight, secure vehicle using chocks and increase the tyre pressure by approimately 2 bar above the standard pressure to prevent the tyres from deflating.
The most important tip is to regularly start the engine and let it run for 15 to 30 minutes once a week and move the vehicle slightly.
