BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
You should not
- 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
impacts.
- Use solvents not approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department
to remove stains as this could
damage the paintwork.
- Drive frequently in snow or muddy
conditions without washing the
vehicle, particularly under the
wheel arches and body.
Protection against the effects of
corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been
treated with very effective anti-
corrosion products, it nevertheless
remains subject to the effects of:
- corrosives in the atmosphere
- atmospheric pollution (built-up
and industrial areas);
- a saline atmosphere (by the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
- seasonal and damp climatic
conditions, (e.g.: road salt in
winter, water from road cleaners,
etc.).
- abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other
vehicles, etc.
- minor impacts
You should take a number of minor
precautions in order to safeguard
your vehicle against such risks and
not to lose the benefit of your
vehicle’s anti-corrosion protection.
- Degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. engine
compartment), underneath the
body, parts with hinges (e.g. inside
the fuel flap) and painted plastic
external fittings (e.g. bumpers)
using high-pressure cleaning
equipment or by spraying on
products not approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department.
If adequate precautions are not
taken, this could give rise to
corrosion or operational faults.
