Battery, Cabin Filter, Vehicle Inspection

A six-week period of inactivity led to a critical discharge of the battery, primarily due to the alarm system consuming 45 mA in its security mode. After a full recharge, the voltage began to drop to 7 V within two days. The battery, which lasted for 3.5 years and 46,791 km, was replaced with the same model.

A routine replacement of the cabin filter was done after 8,000 km, acquired from an official dealer.

The vehicle passed the inspection, despite the widespread tendency to skip it.
