BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
- Frequently wash your car, with the
engine 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 bewashed
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 Services booklet.
- Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway). - Before using a roller type car wash,
return the wiper stalk to the Stop
position (refer to the
Wipers/Washers information in
section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional
lights and rear-view mirrors and
take care to attach the wiper blades
and radio aerial with an adhesive.
Remove the car phone aerial if your
vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
- Spray mechanical components, hinges, etc. 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.
