If the vehicle is idle for a month or two or even longer, it is recommended to park the car in the garage, because the garage can not only protect the car from wind, sun, rain, but also avoid falling leaves, branches and other foreign objects from damaging the paint.
If conditions do not allow, try to find a cool, airy place to park, preferably not under a tree or downstairs. In the event of windy and rainy weather, tree branches, leaves or falling objects from above the car will fall on the body of the car and cause damage.

In the state of long-term non-use of the fuel vehicle battery, there may be a phenomenon of power loss, resulting in the inability to start normally when the vehicle is used again. To avoid this situation, before preparing to park the vehicle for a long time, the correct approach is to disconnect the battery negative, so that it can effectively prevent the battery from losing power.
