Burning Brakes
Took stateside delivery yesterday! Woohoo! Car was detailed and clean. They even left the Euro plates for us in the trunk. All of our uploaded music and memory settings were intact.
I connected the car to our CTEK charger/maintainer overnight, however, as I had no idea whether the battery had been run down or recharged. It took more than a few hours to top it up, even after driving the car home, so I'm glad I did this. You connect it via the jumping posts under the hood. Be sure to use the AGM battery setting. I read that unless they changed the default programming, you can't use a battery maintainer with the cigar lighter socket or other power sockets, as they time out. Fortunately, I don't think this car will need to be on a battery maintainer much if ever.
