BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
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 (urban and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the
sea, particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp climatic con
-
ditions, (eg.: 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.
– 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
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
– 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.
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents (eg. the engine compart
-
ment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. inside the fuel flap)
and painted plastic external fittings
(eg. bumpers) using high-pressure
cleaning equipment or by spraying
on products not approved by our
Technical Department. If adequate
precautions are not taken, this could
give rise to corrosion or operational
faults.
