BODyWORK MAINTENANCE
(1/3)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad-
visable to maintain the vehicle exterior
regularly.
Protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod-
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:
– corrosives in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (urban and
industrial areas);
– saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
– seasonal and damp climatic con-
ditions, (e.g.: road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).
– abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other vehi-
cles, etc.
– minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-
corrosion protection.
you should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents, underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. fuel filler cap, inside
the fuel flap) and painted plastic ex-
ternal fittings (eg. bumpers) using
high-pressure cleaning equipment
or by spraying on products not ap-
proved by our Technical Department.
If adequate precautions are not
taken, this could cause corrosion or
lead to operational faults.
– Aim a high pressure water jet directly
onto damaged parts of the vehicle
(eg. painted bumpers, lights, etc.).
Wash these parts carefully by hand.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
– Use hard brushes to clean alloy
wheels. These can scratch or
damage the wheel’s protective coat-
ing.
– Scrape off mud or dirt without
prewetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
– Use solvents not approved by the
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
– Drive when the vehicle is muddy or
covered in snow (the wheel arches,
underneath the body, radiator, etc.
must always be free from mud or
snow).
It is forbidden to wash the engine compartment using a high-pressure
water jet: this risks damaging the electrical/electronic components in the
engine compartment.
A label affixed in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
