What should we consider before leaving the car parked for an extended period? Although cars are generally well-prepared to remain stationary for a long time, it is advisable to take some measures for their care:<\/p>\n\n

FUEL CHECK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It is recommended to keep your vehicle’s fuel tank full. If left partially full, the tank may accumulate gases, which can be dangerous when opening it again.<\/p>\n\n

Additionally, when you return to your vehicle, it is best to find it with sufficient fuel in case you can’t find open refuelling stations on your way back.<\/p>\n\n

TYRES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

If your car will be stationary for a long period, it is advisable to increase the tyre pressure slightly beyond the normal level. This helps prevent the tyres from deforming due to the weight of the car.<\/p>\n\n

DISCONNECT THE BATTERY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The car battery is likely to slowly discharge even if not in use; a few days usually won\u2019t be a problem, but a longer period might fully discharge the battery. It is advisable to disconnect it to prevent this.<\/p>\n\n

FLUID LEVELS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It is important to check the vehicle\u2019s fluid levels before leaving it in the car park for an extended stay. Ensure that the brake fluid, oil, and coolant levels are checked, and it is recommended to change the oil and filter.<\/p>\n\n

VEHICLE CLEANING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Cleaning is always important, but even more so when you travel and leave the car parked. Why? Because leftover food, etc., can attract pests. That’s why PARK TRAVEL Mallorca<\/strong> offers the option to book our cleaning service<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.parkandtravelmallorca.com\/extras#limpieza<\/a>) so this doesn\u2019t become an issue for you.<\/p>\n\n

Additionally, make sure to remove plastic water bottles from the car, as they can deteriorate over time and become harmful to health due to exposure to sunlight.<\/p>\n\n
