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:
• Corrosive agents 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.
• A brasives
Wind-carried dust and sand,
mud, road chippings 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 protective
techniques.
You should not
• Wash the car in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
• Scrape off mud or dirt without
first softening it by soaking in
water .
• Allow external dirt to accumulate.
• Allow rust to form following
minor impacts.
• Use solvents not approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department
to remove spots as they could
damage the 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 external plastic fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using pressure cleaning
apparatus or by using spray
products not approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department.
If adequate precautions are not
taken, this could give rise to
corrosion or incorrect operation.
