Bodywork maintenance
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we recommend that you wash them
regularly,
- by hand, there are no specific pre-cautions to take;
- using a high pressure washer, always follow the recommenda- tions on the equipment (pressureand spraying distance).If there are areas of damage onthe vehicle (painted bumpers, orheadlamps), it is not recommend-ed to direct the high pressure jetonto them: wash the areas ofdamage by 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 coatsof paintwork 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 drop-pings, resinousdeposits, tar stainsand grease marks; (as
these all contain substanceswhich can cause serious damage to the paintwork).
- Brake briefly several times to expel any dampness from thebrake pads, when you are setting off after washing yourvehicle.
- 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
