BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
• Frequently wash your car,
making sure the engine is off,
with cleaning products
recommended by us (never use
abrasive products) and be sure to
rinse the wheel arches and
underneath the bodywork 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 underside of the
body after driving in areas
where the roads have been
gritted,
- mud in the wheel arches and the
underside of the body which
forms damp patches.
• Observe the vehicle stopping
distances when driving on
gravelled surfaces to prevent
paint damage.
• Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been
damaged 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 servicing booklet.
• Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not
wash your vehicle on a public
highway).
• Check that all external
accessories are correctly secured,
(additional driving lights, door
mirrors, etc.) and secure the
windscreen wiper arms with
adhesive tape before entering a
revolving brush type car wash.
Remove the aerial mast.
• Spray mechanical components
with products approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department
to protect them after they have been
cleaned.
We have selected special
products to care for your vehicle
and you can obtain these from
RENAULT accessory outlets.
