BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
Protection against the action of
corrosive agents
Although your car has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion
products, it nevertheless remains
subject to the action of:
•Corrosives in the atmosphere
- Atmospheric pollution (built-up
and industrial areas).
- Saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather).
- Seasonal and humid climatic
conditions, especially road salt
in winter.
•Abrasives
Wind-carried dust and sand,
mud, road grit thrown up by other
vehicles.
•Minor impacts
A minimum amount of protection is
necessary to guard your car against
such risks so as not to lose the
benefit of these developments.
What you should not do
•Wash the vehicle in bright
sunlight or freezing temperatures.
• Scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
• Allow external dirt to
accumulate.
• Allow rust to form following
minor impacts.
• Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
spotsasthiscoulddamagethe
paintwork.
• Drive frequently in snow or
muddy conditions without
periodically washing the car,
particularly under the wheel
arches and body.• Degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. engine
compartment), underneath the
bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.
inside the fuel tank flap) and
painted plastic external fittings
(e.g. bumpers) using high-
pressure cleaning apparatus or by
spraying on products not
approved by Renault’s Technical
Department as this could give rise
to corrosion or incorrect
operation.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE(continued)
What you should do
•Wash your car frequently,
preferably using our
recommended cleaning products
and use a high-pressure jet to
rinse off the underside of the car
and the wheel arches in particular
to get rid of:
- Spots of tree resin and industrial
grime.
-Bird droppingswhich contain
chemical products which
rapidly discolour paintwork
and may even cause the paint to
peel off:the vehicle must be
washed immediately to remove
thesemarkssinceitis
impossible to remove them by
polishing.
- Salt deposited in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads are chemically treated.
- Mud in the wheel arches and
under the body which forms
damp patches.• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on freshly
laid surfaces to prevent paint
damage.
• Repair, or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
• If your vehicle is protected by the
Renault anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the body shop
periodically. Consult the
anti-corrosion booklet.
• Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not
wash your vehicle on a public
highway).• Check the fixing of external
accessories, additional driving
lights, exterior rear view mirrors,
etc. and attach the windscreen
wiper arms and radio aerial with
adhesive tape before entering a
revolving brush type car wash.
If your vehicle has a car phone,
remove the aerial.
• If mechanical components 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
and you can obtain these from
Renault accessory outlets.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKING: BATTERIES
Replacing batteries
Remove screw1, open the unit
(using a coin, for example) and
replace the battery2according to
the direction marked on the cover.
Note:When replacing the battery, it
is advisable not to touch the
electronic circuit in the key cover.
The batteries can be obtained
from your Renault Dealer.
These batteries should last about
two years. There is a delay of
1 second between locking and
unlocking actions.
Synchronising the remote
control
After changing the batteries, it may
be necessary to synchronise the
remote control.
From inside the vehicle:
• Press the plip remote control for
approximately 10 seconds until
the battery tell-tale light3
extinguishes.
• Release the plip and then press it
twice in succession.
If this procedure is not successful,
contact your Renault Dealer.
