your energy consumption.

4.7
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
You should
– Observe the vehicle stopping dis-tances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
– Quickly repair, or have repaired, areas where the paint has been
damaged, to prevent corrosion
spreading.
– Remember to visit the body shop periodically if your vehicle has an
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
– Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
– Spray mechanical components, hinges, etc. with products approved
by our Technical Department to
protect them after they have been
cleaned. – Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by the manufacturer
(never use abrasive products). Rinse
thoroughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint
that rapidly discolours paint-
work and may even cause the
paint to peel off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol-
ishing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which forms
damp patches.
Cleaning the roof
Use a soft cloth or cotton wool.
Soak it lightly with a protective agent
recommended by our Technical
Department.
Spread the protective agent carefully
in circular movements using a soft or a
cotton cloth.

5.13
WIPER BLADE
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. How long they last depends
on you:
– clean the blades and the wind-screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen is dry;
– free them from the windscreen when they have not been used
for a long time.
– In freezing weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the wiper
motor overheating).
– Keep an eye on the condition of
the blade.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency:
approximately once a year.
When changing the blade, when it
has been removed, do not let the
wiper arm fall against the window:
risk of breaking the window.Replacement
With the ignition on and the engine
stopped:
– lift windscreen wiper arm 2 as far as
it will go;
– pivot blade 1 until it is removed from
its hinge.
Refitting
To refit the wiper blade, clip the blade
onto its hinge. Make sure that the blade
is correctly locked in position.
