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 atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
– seasonal and damp climatic con-
ditions, (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 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 (e.g. engine compartment),
underneath the body, parts with
hinges (e.g. fuel filler cap, inside of
filler flap, sunroof, etc.) and painted
external plastic fittings (e.g. bump-
ers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or using spray prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. If adequate precautions
are not taken, this could give rise to
corrosion or operational faults.
