MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Rustproofing
The car has protection against corrosion.
Anti-corrosion protection for the body consists
of metallic protective coatings on the sheet
metal, a high-quality painting process, corro-
sion-protected and minimised metal overlap,
and shielding plastic components, abrasion
protection and supplemental rust inhibitor on
exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed com-
ponents of the wheel suspension are made of
corrosion-resistant cast aluminium.
Inspection and maintenance
The car's anti-corrosion protection normally
requires no maintenance, but a good way to
reduce the risk of corrosion is to keep the car
clean. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu-
tions must be avoided on glossy trim compo-
nents. Any stone chips should be rectified as
soon as they are discovered.

Car paintwork
The paintwork consists of several layers and
is an important part of the car's rustproofing,
and should therefore be checked regularly.
The most common types of paintwork dam-
age are stone chips, scratches, and marks on
the edges of wings, doors and bumpers. To
avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.

Touching up minor paintwork
damage

proofing and should therefore be checked
regularly. The most common types of paint-
work damage are stone chips, scratches, and
marks on e.g. the edges of wings, doors and
bumpers.
To avoid the onset of rust, damaged paintwork
should be rectified immediately.
NOTE
When paint is repaired the surface must be
clean and dry. The temperature of the sur-
face should be at least 15 °C (59 °F).
