BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
What you should do
– Wash your vehicle frequently, with
the engine off, using cleaning prod-
ucts recommended by us (never use
abrasive products), taking special
care to rinse off:
– 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;
Wash the vehicle
immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol-
ishing;
– 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 un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
– Observe the vehicle stopping dis-
tances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been dam-
aged, to prevent corrosion spread-
ing.
– Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
RENAULT anti-corrosion warranty.
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet.
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
– Before going through a roller type car
wash, for vehicles fitted with auto-
matic wipers, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to the park position (refer
to the information on the “Windscreen
wiper/washer” in Section 1). Check
the mounting of external accesso-
ries, additional lights, door mirrors,
etc., and be sure to hold the wiper
blades and radio aerial in place with
adhesive tape.
If your vehicle has a car phone and
radio, remove the aerials.
– Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products approved
by our 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 acces-
sory outlets.
