sible, wipe the washed surfaces dry
immediately, for when water droplets
dry in the sun, the spots are created
on the painted surface. In winter,
after washing the vehicle in a warm
room, before driving out clean the
body and door seals dry, as, during
the remaining water droplets freez-
ing, the cracks on the paint coating
may be formed and the seals may
freeze to the body.
ATTENTION!
Do not wash the vehicle with
the ignition on.
When washing the vehicle avoid
the direct spray of water ingress on
electrical products, electronic
devices, sensors and detachable
joints in the engine compartment.
Watch after condition of the protect-
ing covers for the detachable joints
in electronic units and sensors. In
case of ingress of moisture onto the
detachable joints, blow them with
compressed air and treat them with
water-repellent auto-inhibitor to pro-
tect the contacts against oxidation.
During washing the vehicle thor-
oughly wash the hemmings of the
doors, the bonnet, the trunk lid, the
welds and the joints of the engine
compartment, the luggage compart-
ment and the door openings, as the
dirt accumulated in the specified
areas will cause damage of the pro-
tective and decorative coatings and
metal corrosion.
ATTENTION!
When the signs of corrosion
(including welded joints and
seams), as well as damage of the
paint coating (chips, scratches,
abrasions) and other protective
coatings (chips and putty and
undercoat abrasion) appear, you
should address at the manufac-
turer authorized SSNE to take
actions to prevent further corro-
sion propagation, to restore and
repair the paint and protective
coatings.
Well-timed actions taken to
prevent propagation of corrosion
on the body and other parts of the
vehicle will extend its service life
and save its market condition for
a long time. In case of your failure
to take timely measures to pre-
vent corrosion processes on the
vehicle body, the manufacturer
bears no responsibility for your
vehicle body further condition.
To improve corrosion resistance
of the body, the enclosed box-
shaped cavities of sills, side mem-
bers, cross members and other ele-
ments of the body bottom are cov-
ered with a special anti-rust com-
pound. When operating the vehicle it
is necessary to carry out anti-corro-
sion treatment of the body at the
manufacturer certified SSNEs during
the first year of operation and peri-
odically once a year according to his
developed technology.
ATTENTION!
After anti-corrosion treatment
of the body by the anti-rust com-
pound at the SSNE it is necessary
to check the exhaust system (cat-
alytic converter, main and auxil-
iary silencer) for lack of anti-rust
composition on these parts to
prevent probable fire hazard.
During vehicle operation the coat-
ing on the body bottom, as well as
the paint on the lower parts of the
front and rear wings are exposed to
abrasive wear due to impact of grav-
el, sand and salt. As a result of this
impact the putty and undercoat get
abraded and the bare metal corrod-
ed. Therefore, watch after the state
