BODYWORK MAINTENANCE(continued)
What you should do
• Wash your car frequently, using our
recommended cleaning products
anduseahighpressurejettorinse
off the wheel arches and under the
body to get rid of:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
-bird droppings, which contain
chemicals whichrapidly
discolour paintwork and may
even cause the paint to peel off;
The vehiclemustbe washed
immediately to remove these
marks since they cannot be
removed by polishing;
- salt from the wheel arches and
under the body, after the vehicle
has been driven in areas where
the roads are chemically treated;
- mud forming damp patches in
the wheel arches and under the
body.• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on a freshly
laid surface to avoid damage to
your paintwork.
• Have patches where the paint has
been damaged repaired quickly to
avoid corrosion spreading.
• If your vehicle is covered by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the bodyshop
periodically. Refer to your vehicle’s
Warranty and Servicing booklet.
• Respect local regulations relating
to washing your vehicle (e.g. do
not wash your vehicle on a public
highway).• Before using a revolving brush
type car wash, check the mounting
of exterior equipment, additional
headlights and rear view mirrors.
Secure the wiper blades and radio
aerial with adhesive tape.
Remove the car phone aerial if the
vehicle has one.
• If mechanical components such
as hinges have to be cleaned, their
protection must be reapplied by
spraying on products approved
by Renault's Technical Department.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle which
may be obtained from Renault
Accessory Outlets.

CHANGING A WHEEL
•Remove the wheel embellisher
(see section on embellishers).
• Use the wheelbrace1to loosen
the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it so
that you press downwards and
not upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid
underneath the jacking point
under the body, nearest the wheel
concerned.
• Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.• Insert the end of the wheelbrace2
into the jack3and turn a few
times to lift the wheel off the
ground:
• Remove the bolts.
• Take off the wheel.
• Position the emergency spare
wheel on the central hub and turn
it to locate the mounting holes in
the wheel and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
• Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
base of the jack).
Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, orPon an
automatic gearbox).
Ask all the passengers to get out of
the vehicle and keep them away
from moving traffic.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired if possible)
by a specialist.
