Illustration of documents and a document with a seal, no text or symbols presentBASIC SAFETY RULES
To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in possession of all the requirements prescribed by law (driving licence, minimum age, psychophysical ability, insurance, state taxes, vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).
Gradually get to know the vehicle by driving it first in areas with low traffic and/or private areas.

text_image
NO !The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic substances notably increases the risk of accidents.
Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness.

natural_image
Illustration of two people interacting with a motorcycle, no text or symbols presentMost road accidents are caused by the driver's lack of experience.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and, in any case, make sure that the driver has all the requirements for driving.

text_image
STOP STOP 150 m 150 mRigorously observe all road signs and national and local road regulations.
Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself and other people (for example: rearing up on the back wheel, speeding, etc.), and give due consideration to the road surface, visibility and other driving conditions.

text_image
NO !Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control.
Avoid riding in the slipstream created by preceding vehicles in order to increase your speed.

natural_image
Illustration of a person sitting on a chair holding a tool, no text or symbols presentAlways drive with both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests, in the correct driving posture.
Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while driving.

text_image
NO !The driver should pay attention and avoid distractions caused by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while driving.

text_image
OIL COOLERUse only the vehicle's specific fuels and lubricants (indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART"); check all oil, fuel and coolant levels regularly.

natural_image
Illustration of a crane lifting a truck (no text or symbols present)If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, make sure that no damage has occurred to the control levers, pipes, wires, braking system and vital parts.
If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by an aprilia Official Dealer, who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all the devices that you cannot check by yourself.
Always remember to report any malfunction to the technicians to help them in their work.
Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suffered endangers your safety.

text_image
A12 345 NO !Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, direction indicators, lights and horns.
Any modification of the vehicle will result in the invalidity of the guarantee.
Any modification of the engine or of other members which is aimed at increasing the speed or the power of the vehicle is prohibited by the law; in fact, any modification resulting in an increase of the maximum speed or of the engine displacement would change the scooter into a motorcycle, which implies the following obligations for the owner:
-new homologation;
-new registration;
-appropriate driving license.

text_image
ONLY ORIGINALSFurther, said modifications cause the loss of the insurance cover, since insurance policies expressly prohibit to make technical changes aimed at increasing the vehicle performance levels.
For the reasons stated above, the failure to comply with the tampering prohibition is punished by law with apposite sanctions (including the confiscation of the vehicle), which, according to the case, can be combined with the sanctions provided for not using the crash helmet and/or the number plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations (ownership tax) and with penal sanctions provided for using the vehicle without driving license.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.

natural_image
Illustration of various winter sports equipment including a helmet, pants, gloves, and goggles (no text or symbols)CLOTHING
Before starting, always wear a correctly fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is homologated, in good shape, of the right size and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light and/or reflecting colours. In this way you will make yourself more visible to the other drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of being knocked down, and you will be more protected in case of fall. This clothing should be very tight-fitting and fastened at the wrists and ankles. Strings, belts and ties should not be hanging loose; prevent these and other objects from interfering with driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving mechanisms.

text_image
NO !Do not keep objects that can be dangerous in case of fall, for example pointed objects like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your pockets (the same recommendations also apply to passengers).

natural_image
Illustration of two mechanical parts: a metal bracket and a box with a strap, both without any text or symbols.ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory.
Avoid installing accessories that cover horns or lights or that could impair their functions, limit the suspension stroke and the steering angle, hamper the operation of the controls and reduce the distance from the ground and the angle of inclination in turns. Avoid using accessories that hamper access to the controls, since this can prolong reaction times during an emergency. Large fairings and windscreens assembled on the vehicle can produce aerodynamic forces capable of compromising the stability of the vehicle while driving. Make sure that the equipment is well fastened to the vehicle and not dangerous during driving.

natural_image
Illustration of a motorcycle with two briefcases on the ground (no text or symbols)Do not install electrical devices and do not modify those already existing to avoid electrical overloads, because the vehicle could suddenly stop or there could be a dangerous current shortage in the horn and in the lights. aprilia recommends the use of "aprilia genuine accessories".
LOAD
Be careful and moderate when loading your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close as possible to the centre of the vehicle and distribute the load uniformly on both sides, in order to reduce imbalance to the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially during long trips.

natural_image
Top-down illustration of a motorcycle with no visible text or symbols on the body, including a 'NO!' speech bubble (no readable text on the diagram itself)Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks, because the vehicle might respond more slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability could be unavoidably impaired.
Do not place bags that are too bulky on the vehicle sides, because it could hit people or obstacles making you lose control of the vehicle.

text_image
NO !Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly secured to the vehicle.
Do not carry bags which protrude too much from the luggage-rack or which cover the lights, horn or indicators.
Do not carry animals or children on the glove compartment or on the luggage-rack.

text_image
KG! NO!Do not exceed the maximum load allowed for each side-bag.
When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.

MAIN COMPONENTS

natural_image
Warning symbol with exclamation mark inside a triangle (no text or numbers)FUEL

The fuel used for internal combustion engines is extremely inflammable and in particular con- it can become explosive.
It is important to carry out the refuelling and the maintenance operations in a well-ventilated area, with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel vapours, in any case avoid any contact with naked flames, sparks and any other heat source to prevent the fuel from catching fire or from exploding.
Further, prevent fuel from flowing out of the fuel filler, as it could catch fire when getting in contact with the red-hot surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been spilt, make sure that the area has completely dried and before starting the vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside the fuel filler neck.
Since petrol expands under the heat of the sun and due to the effects of sun radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the plug (1) up carefully after refuelling.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with the skin and the inhalation of vapours; do not swallow fuel or pour it from a receptacle into another by means of a tube.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

natural_image
Technical diagram of a mechanical component with labeled parts (no readable text or symbols)Use only unleaded petrol, in conformity with the DIN 51607 standard, min. O.N. 95 (N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
(reserve included): 8
TANK RESERVE: 1.5 ℓ
To refuel, proceed as follows:
◆ Lift the saddle, see p. 19 (UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE SADDLE).
◆ Unscrew and remove the fuel tank plug (1).
◆ Refuel.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with labeled parts (no text or symbols present)2 STROKE OIL TANK
Top up the 2 stroke oil tank every 500 km.
The vehicle is provided with a separate mixer that makes it possible to mix petrol with oil for the lubrication of the engine, see p. 71 (LUBRICANT CHART).
The reserve is indicated by the coming on of the 2 stroke oil reserve warning light "→" positioned on the dashboard, see p.14 and 15 (INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS).

The use of the vehicle without 2 stroke oil causes serious damages to the engine.
If you run out of oil in the 2 stroke oil tank or if the mixer oil pipe has been removed, it is necessary to contact an aprilia Official Dealer, who will provide for bleeding the system.
This operation is indispensable, since the operation of the engine with air in the mixer oil system may cause serious damages to the engine itself.
To top up the 2 stroke oil tank, proceed as follows:
◆ Lift the saddle, see p. 19 (UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE SADDLE).
◆ Remove the plug (1).
2 STROKE OIL TANK CAPACITY: 1.6 ℓ
TANK RESERVE: 0.5 ℓ

Wash your hands carefully after using the oil.
Do not dispose of the oil in the nment.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
BRAKE FLUID - recommendations

Sudden resistance or clearance problems on the brake lever may be due to problems in the hy- system.
For any doubt regarding the perfect functioning of the braking system and in case you are not able to carry out the usual checking operations, contact your aprilia Official Dealer.
Make sure that the brake disc and the friction elements are neither oily nor greasy, especially after maintenance or checking operations.
Check that the brake cable is neither twisted nor worn out.
Prevent water or dust from accidentally getting into the circuit.
In case maintenance operations are to be performed on the hydraulic circuit, it is advisable to use latex gloves.
If the brake fluid gets in contact with the skin or the eyes, it can cause serious irritations.
Carefully wash the parts of your body that get in contact with the liquid.
Consult a doctor or an oculist if the liquid gets in contact with your eyes.
Do not dispose of the brake fluid in the environment.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

When using the brake fluid, take care not to spill it on the plastic or painted parts, since it irrepalamages them.

text_image
1 2 MINFRONT BRAKE DISC

The brakes are the parts that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be perfectly working.
The brake fluid must be changed once a year by an aprilia Official Dealer.
This vehicle is provided with front hydraulic disc brake.
When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid decreases to automatically compensate for their wear.
The brake fluid reservoir (1) is positioned near the front brake lever coupling. Periodically check the brake fluid level in the reservoir (1) and the pad wear, see p. 45 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR).

text_image
Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components for identificationCHECKING
To check the brake fluid level, proceed as follows:
◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
♦ Rotate the handlebar leftwards, so that the fluid contained in the reservoir is parallel to the "MIN" mark stamped on the glass (2).
Make sure that the level of the brake fluid contained in the tank exceeds the "MIN" mark stamped on the glass (2).
◆ If not, provide for topping up.
TOPPING UP
Carefully read p. 22 (BRAKE FLUID - recommendations).

The brake fluid may flow out of the reservoir. Do not operate the brake lever if the screws (3) are loose or, most important, if the brake fluid tank cover has been removed.
◆ Unscrew the two screws (3).
◆ Remove the cover (4).
◆ Remove the guide cover (5).

In order not to spill the brake fluid while topping up, keep the fluid in the reservoir parallel to the reservoir rim.
◆ Remove the gasket (6).

In order to reach the "MAX" level, top up until covering the glass
(2) completely, with the brake fluid reservoir rim parallel to the ground.

The topping up to the "MAX" level can be carried out only with new pads.
The fluid level decreases progressively with the pad wear.
Do not top up to the "MAX" level with worn pads, since this may cause an outflow of liquid when the brake pads are changed.
◆ Fill the tank with brake fluid, see p. 71 (LUBRICANT CHART), until it covers the glass completely.

10 mmREAR DRUM BRAKE

The brakes are the parts that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be tly working.
For any doubt regarding the perfect functioning of the braking system and in case you are not able to carry out the usual checking operations, contact your aprilia Official Dealer.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components and directional arrows indicating motion or force.ADJUSTING THE BRAKE
◆ Measure the distance covered by the lever before the brake starts it braking action. The idle stroke at the end of the brake lever must be about 10 mm.
- Adjust the clearance by acting on the adjuster (1).
Put on the brake repeatedly and make sure that the wheel turns freely after the brake has been released.
◆ Check the braking efficiency.
The fact that the adjuster (1) can be tightened completely or the indicator (2) is positioned beyond the reference tooth (3) indicates that the brake shoes are worn; in this case, see p. 46 (CHECKING THE SHOE WEAR).

natural_image
Warning symbol of a test tube inside a triangle (no text or numbers)TYRES
This vehicle is provided with tyres with inner tube.

Periodically check the tyre inflation pressure at room temperature.
If the tyres are hot, the measurement is not correct.
Carry out the measurement especially after long rides.
If the inflation pressure is too high, the ground unevenness cannot be dampened and is therefore transmitted to the handlebar, thus compromising the driving comfort and reducing the road holding during turns.
If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure is too low, the tyre sides are under greater stress and the tyre itself may slip on the rim or it may become loose, with consequent loss of control of the vehicle.
In case of sudden braking the tyres could even get out of the rims. Further, the vehicle could skid while turning.
Check the surface and the wear of the tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can impair both the grip and the controllability of the vehicle.
Change the tyre when it is worn out or in case of puncture on the tread side, if the puncture is larger than 5 mm.
Use only tyres in the size suggested by aprilia, see p. 67 (TECHNICAL DATA).
Do not install tyres with air tube on rims for tubeless tyres and viceversa.
Make sure that the tyres always have their valve sealing caps on, to prevent them from suddenly going flat.
Change, reparation, maintenance and balancing operations are very important and should be carried out by qualified technicians with appropriate tools.
For this reason, it is advisable to have the above mentioned operations carried out by an aprilia Official Dealer or by a qualified tyre repairer.

If the tyres are new, they may still be covered with a slippery film: drive carefully for the first
miles.
Do not oil the tyres with unsuitable fluids.

Warning triangle with wavy line symbol (no text or numbers)COOLANT

Do not use the vehicle if the coolant is below the minimum prescribed level.

Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km 1 km = 0.625 miles
Check the coolant level every 2000 km and after long rides; change it every 2 years.

Have the coolant changed by an aprilia Official Dealer.
The coolant is made up of 50% water and 50% antifreeze.
This mixture is ideal for most running temperatures and ensures good protection against corrosion.
It is advisable to keep the same mixture also in the hot season, since in this way losses due to evaporation are reduced and it is not necessary to top up very frequently.
The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator by evaporated water are thus reduced and the efficiency of the cooling system remains unchanged.
If the outdoor temperature is below 0^ , check the cooling circuit frequently and if necessary increase the antifreeze concentration (up to maximum 60%).

natural_image
Warning symbol with exclamation mark inside a triangle (no text or numbers)
Do not remove the expansion tank cap when the engine is hot, since the coolant is under pres- and its temperature is high.
If it gets in contact with the skin or with clothes it may cause severe burns and/or damages.
The coolant is noxious:
DO NOT SWALLOW IT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE COOLANT IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

natural_image
Warning triangle with wavy line symbol (no text or numbers)CHECKING AND TOPPING UP
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FLUID IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
Proceed as follows:
◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
- Unscrew and remove the filling plug (1). Two reference elements indicating the minimum and maximum level, "MIN" and "MAX", are provided inside the expansion tank.
- Looking through the filling hole, make sure that the coolant level is included between the "MIN" and "MAX" elements.

This vehicle is equipped with a device that switches the lights on automatically when the engine is started.
For this reason, no light switch is provided. The lights can be switched off only by stopping the engine.

natural_image
Illustration of a battery with smoke next to a flower and sun (no text or symbols)CATALYTIC SILENCER
Avoid parking the vehicle catalytic version near dry brush wood or in places easily accessible to children, as the catalytic silencer becomes extremely hot during use; be very careful and avoid any kind of contact before it has completely cooled down.
The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencer with metal catalytic converter of the "platinum-rhodium bivalent" type.
This device provides for the oxidation of the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC (unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the exhaust gases, changing them into carbon dioxide and steam, respectively.
Due to the catalytic reaction, the high temperature reached by the exhaust gases makes for the burning of the oil particles, thus keeping the silencer clean and eliminating the exhaust fumes.
To have the catalytic converter function correctly and for long and to reduce possible problems regarding the soiling of the thermal unit and of the exhaust, it is necessary to avoid covering long distances with the engine running at constantly low rpm.
It is sufficient to alternate these periods with periods in which the engine runs at relatively high rpm, even if only for a few seconds, but rather frequently.
What has been stated above assumes particular importance for the cold starting of the engine: in this case, in order to reach a rpm regime sufficient to enable the "priming" of the catalytic reaction, just make sure that the temperature of the thermal unit has reached at least 50^ , which generally occurs a few seconds after starting the engine.

Do not use leaded petrol, since it causes the destruction of the catalytic converter.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Before departure, always carry out a preliminary checking of the vehicle, to make sure that it
functions correctly and safely, see the following table PRELIMINARY CHECKING OPERATIONS.
The non-performance of these checking operations can cause severe personal injuries or damages to the vehicle.

Do not hesitate to consult your aprilia Official Dealer in case there is something you do not
understand about the functioning of some controls or in case you suspect or discover some irregularities.
It does not take long to carry out a check-up and this operation ensures you much more safety.

Avoid starting the vehicle in closed or badly-ventilated rooms.
The non-observance of this warning may cause loss of consciousness or even lead to death by asphyxia.
Do not get on the vehicle for the starting.
ELECTRIC STARTING
◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
♦ Turn the ignition switch (1) to position "○".

Release the throttle grip (pos. A), put on the rear brake, then move the vehicle down the stand.
Get on the vehicle, keeping at least one foot on the ground in order not to lose balance.

Properly adjust the inclination of the rear-view mirrors.
To leave, release the brake lever and accelerate by gently rotating the throttle grip (pos. B); the vehicle will start moving.
Avoid opening and closing the throttle grip repeatedly and continuously, so that you do not accidentally lose control of the vehicle.
If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration, properly exerting pressure on the braking parts.
By putting on the front brake only or the rear brake only, you reduce the braking force considerably, thus running the risk of locking one wheel and consequently losing grip.
Before beginning to turn, slow down or brake driving at moderate and constant speed or accelerating slightly; avoid braking at the last moment: it would be very easy to skid.
If the brakes are operated continuously on downhill stretches, the friction surfaces can overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency.
Never drive with the engine off!
In case of wet ground or scarce wheel grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.), drive slowly, avoiding sudden brakings or manoeuvres that could make you lose grip and fall down.

Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle or variation of the ground.
Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications painted on the road surface, building site metal plates become rather slippery by rain. For this reason all these obstacles have to be carefully avoided, driving smoothly and bending the vehicle as little as possible.
Always use the turn indicators timely when you intend to change lane or direction, avoiding sharp and dangerous movements.

If the 2 stroke oil reserve warning light “,” comes on during the normal functioning of the enhis means that the 2 stroke oil res is being used; in this case, top up ker oil tank, see p. 22 (2 STROKE NK).

If the pointer of the coolant temperature indicator “⊥” reaches the red area, stop the engine neck the coolant level, see p. 26 ANT).
RUNNING-IN

Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km 1 km = 0.625 miles

After the first 500 kilometres, carry out the checking operations indicated in the column "After running-in" of the REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see p. 36-37, in order to avoid hurting yourself or other people and/or damaging the vehicle.
The running-in of the engine is primary to ensure its correct functioning and its correct functioning. If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in.
For the first 500 km, keep to the following indications:
0-100 km
During the first 100 km put on the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings.
This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc.
0-300 km
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than one half for long stretches.
300-500 km
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than three-fourths for long stretches.
STOPPING

If possible, avoid stopping abruptly, slowing down suddenly and braking at the last moment.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components, likely for assembly or maintenance reference.DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Carefully read p. 21 (FUEL).

Risk of fire.
Wait until the engine and the exhaust silencers have completely cooled down.

Fuel vapours are noxious for your health.
Before proceeding, make sure that the room in which you are working is properly ventilated.
Do not inhale fuel vapours.
Do not smoke, nor use free flames.
Do not dispose of fuel in the environment.
◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
◆ Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled down.
◆ Prepare a container with capacity exceeding the fuel quantity present in the tank and put it on the ground on the left side of the vehicle.
◆ Empty the fuel tank by means of a manual pump or a similar system.

After draining the tank, tighten the plug.
To empty the carburettor completely, proceed as follows:
◆ Remove the filter casing, see p. 38 (AIR CLEANER).
Put the free end of the pipe (1) into a receptacle.
◆ Open the carburettor outlet by loosening the drain screw (2) positioned under the float chamber.
When all the fuel has flowed out of the carburettor:
♦ Tighten the drain screw (2) completely.

Tighten the drain screw (2) with care, to avoid fuel leakages from the carburettor during the refuelling.
CLEANING

natural_image
Warning symbol with exclamation mark inside a triangle (no text or numbers)Clean the vehicle frequently if it used in particular areas or conditions, such as:
◆ Polluted areas (cities and industrial areas).
◆ Areas characterized by an high percentage of salinity and humidity (sea areas, hot and humid climates).
◆ Particular conditions (use of salt and anti-ice chemical products on the roads during the winter).
◆ Avoid leaving deposits of industrial and polluting powders, tar spots, dead insects, bird droppings, etc. on the body.
Avoid parking the vehicle under trees, since in some seasons residues, resins, fruits or leaves fall down, which contain substances that may damage the paint.

After the vehicle has been washed, its braking functions could be temporarily impaired because of the presence of water on the grip surfaces. Calculate long braking distances to avoid accidents. Brake repeatedly to restore normal conditions.
Carry out the preliminary checking operations, see p. 29 (PRELIMINARY CHECKING OPERATIONS).
To remove dirt and mud from the painted surfaces use a low-pressure water jet; carefully wet the dirty parts, remove mud and filth with a soft car sponge impregnated with a lot of water and shampoo (2÷4% parts of shampoo in water).
Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with chamois leather.
To clean the outer parts of the engine use a degreaser, brushes and wipers.

Polish with silicone wax only after having carefully washed the vehicle.
Do not wash the vehicle under the sun, especially during the summer, when the body is still warm, since if the shampoo dries before being rinsed away, it can damage the paint.
Do not use polishing pastes on matt paints.
Do not use water (or liquids) at a temperature exceeding 40°C to clean the plastic components of the vehicle.
Use neither high pressure water/air jets, nor vapour jets on the following parts: wheel hubs, controls on the right and on the left side of the handlebars, bearings, carburettor, brake pump, instruments and indicators, silencer exhaust, glove compartment, ignition switch/steering lock.
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean the rubber and plastic parts and the saddle: use only water and mild soap.

Do not apply protection waxes onto the saddle, in order not to make it too slippery.

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.
Proceed as follows:
◆ Empty the fuel tank and the carburettor, see p. 64 (DRAINING THE FUEL TANK).
Extract the spark plug and pour a teaspoon (5-10 cm³) of two-stroke engine oil into the cylinder.
Move the ignition switch to position "○", press the start push button "⑧" for a few seconds, to distribute the oil evenly on the cylinder surfaces.
Put back the spark plug.

◆ Wash and dry the vehicle, see p. 65 (CLEANING).
♦ Polish the painted surfaces with wax.
◆ Inflate the tyres, see p. 25 (TYRES).
- By means of a suitable support, position the vehicle so that both tyres are raised from the ground.
◆ Place the vehicle in an unheated, not-humid room, away from sunlight, with minimum temperature variations.
◆ Cover the vehicle avoiding the use of plastic or waterproof materials.
