Bodywork maintenance
BoDyWoRk MAIntenAnCe
(1/2)
– Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
– Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the ve-
hicle, particularly under the wheel
arches and body.
you should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical
components (eg. the engine
compartment), underneath the body,
parts with hinges (eg. inside the fuel
flap) and painted plastic external
fittings (eg. bumpers) using high-
pressure cleaning equipment or by
spraying on products not approved
by our Technical Department. If
adequate precautions are not taken,
this could give rise to corrosion or
operational faults.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
– Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-
wetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
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 atmospheres (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.
