BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we rec-ommend that you wash them regu-
larly,
- by hand, there are no specific pre-cautions to take;
- however repeated use of poorly maintained automatic car-washes can lead to the appearance ofmicro-scopic scratches which givethe paintwork a matt appearance(especially visible on dark colours);
- using a high pressure washer, always following the recommen-dations on the equipment (pres-sure and spraying distance). If there are areas of damage on the vehicle (painted bumpers, or head-lamps), it is not recommended todirect the high pressure jet ontothem: wash the areas of damageby hand. Also avoid the entry of water into the locks. Waxing:
the regular use of wax
added to the washing water orapplied separately is strongly recom-mended, it protects the upper coats ofpaintwork against external attack. For all questions relating to the main- tenance of your vehicle, contact anapproved dealer who can advise youon quality products selected by ourdepartments. - Clean off, as soon as
possible, bird droppings,resinous deposits, tarstains and grease
marks ; (as these all containsubstances which can causeserious damage to the paint-work).
- Brake briefly several times to expel any dampness from thebrake pads, when you are set-ting off after washing your vehi-cle.
- Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or detergent or solventproducts to clean the doublelens, complex surface head-lamps as they are fitted withpolycarbonate glass covered ina protective finish.
- Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean thebodywork and plastic parts ofyour vehicle.
- To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a resultof accidental damage (stonechips, scratches etc.) have them
repaired swiftly.
