BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
– Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im- pacts.
– 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.
– 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.
What you should not do
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents, underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the fuel tank
flap) and painted plastic external fit-
tings using high-pressure cleaning
equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. If adequate precautions
are not taken, this could give rise to
corrosion, damage to paintwork or
operating faults.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Some parts may look different over time
(e.g.: bleaching, etc.)
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 (built-up
and industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the
sea, particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather 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.
Washing the vehicle
Never wash the vehicle with
a roller or a high-pressure
spray, and under no circum-
stances when charging.
This risks damaging the electrical
circuit.

limited. The outdoor temperature is ex-
tremely high. Opt for a calmer driving style.
