under the front wheel arch, you must
first dismount the wheel and partially
loosen the fixture of the front wing
flap by removing six screws. Turn

In the design variant there are
special hatches for access to the fog
lights on the front wing flaps. If such

BODY
The body is the basic and the
most costly vehicle component. It is
made of advanced materials and is
protected against corrosion by high-
quality protective agents. The foun-
dation of the corrosion protection
lifetime is laid down by the manufac-
turer, however, paint and other pro-
tective and decorative coatings are
subject to normal wear and ageing.
The effectiveness of corrosion pro-
tection and its lifetime depend on cli-
matic conditions, environment eco-
logical state, conditions of use, stor-
age, proper care and timeliness of
preventive measures.
Avoid applying excessive forces to
open or close the doors, the trunk
lids and the bonnet that would lead to
damage and/or scuffs of the doors
and the body, for which the manufac-
turer is not responsible.
To prevent the appearance of
scratches on the body paint coating,
as well as on the external optical sur-
faces of the vehicle light devices, do
not remove dust and dirt with dry
cleaning material. For the sake of the
vehicle preservation, prior to the time
the dirty dries, it is necessary to wash
it with small pressure water spray
using soft sponge and applying car
shampoos that create protective
films against the environment
impact.
ATTENTION!
Do not wash the vehicle using
soda and caustic solutions, as
well as sewage and other agents
not intended for washing.
Before washing the vehicle, clean
the doors and sills drain holes.
ATTENTION!
Due to a large choice of servic-
es on the market of washing
machines with brush assemblies
of different design, the vehicle
wash with the use of brush wash-
ing machines can lead to the loss
of paint coating gloss and reduc-
tion of its protective properties.
Therefore, before washing your
vehicle ask preliminary the wash-
er operator of its design, techni-
cal condition of brushes and the
level of its impact on your vehicle
paint coating.
In summer wash your vehicle out-
doors in the shade. If this is not pos-
