Repair minor paintwork damage such
as stone chips and scratches
G021832
Before work is begun, the car must be clean and dry and at a temperature above 15 °C.
1. Apply a piece of masking tape over the damaged surface. Then remove the tape to remove any loose paint. If the damage is down to the metal, use of a primer is appropriate. In the event ofdamage to a plastic surface, an adhesiveprimer should be used to give betterresults - spray into the lid of the spraycan and brush on thinly.
2. Before painting, gentle polishing using a very fine polishing agent may be carriedout locally if required (e.g. if there are anyuneven edges). The surface is cleanedthoroughly and left to dry. 3. Stir the primer well and apply using a fine
brush, a matchstick or similar. Finish offwith a basecoat and clearcoat once theprimer has dried.
4. For scratches, proceed as above, but mask around the damaged area to pro-tect the undamaged paintwork.
NOTE
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the meal and an undamaged layer ofpaint remains in place, fill in with base coatand clear coat as soon as the surface hasbeen cleaned.

Weights
Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car. Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (p. 391) (when a trailer ishitched) influence the load capacity and arenot included in the kerb weight. Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a carwithout extra equipment or accessories.This means that for every accessory addedthe loading capacity of the car is reducedcorrespondingly by the weight of theaccessory. Examples of accessories that reduce load- ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/Summum equipment levels, as well asother accessories such as Towbar, Loadcarriers, Space box, Audio system, Auxili-ary lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safetygrille, Carpets, Cargo cover, Power seats,etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own partic-ular car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.
