BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
- Before going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer
to information on Windscreen
wash/wipe in Section 1). Check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and rear-view
mirrors and secure the windscreen
wiper blades and radio aerial with
adhesive tape.
Remove the car phone aerial if
fitted to the vehicle.
- If mechanical components, hinges,
etc. have to be cleaned, you must
re-protect them by spraying on
products approved by our
Technical Department.
- Observe the vehicle stopping
distances when driving on
gravelled surfaces to prevent paint
damage.
- Areas where the paint has been
damaged should be repaired
quickly to prevent corrosion
spreading.
- Remember to visit the body shop
periodically in order to maintain
your RENAULT anti-corrosion
warranty. Refer to the Warranty
and Services booklet.
- Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
You should
- Wash your car frequently with
cleaning products recommended
by RENAULT (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to rinse the
wheel arches and underneath the
body to eliminate:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
- bird droppings , which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause the
paint to peel off;
The vehicle must be washed
immediately to remove these
marks since it is impossible to
remove them by polishing;
- salt deposited in the wheel arches
and the underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
have been gritted;
- mud in the wheel arches and
underneath the body which forms
damp patches.
We have selected special
products to care for your vehicle
and you can obtain these from
RENAULT accessory outlets.
