PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE
111
Bodywork maintenance
To preserve the paintwork and the
plastic trim on your vehicle, we recom-
mend that you wash them regularly.
– by hand: there are no specific pre-
cautions to take;
– using an automatic car wash:
repeated use of poorly maintained
automatic car washes can lead to
the appearance of microscopic
scratches which give the paintwork
a matt appearance (especially
visible on dark colours);
– using a high pressure washer:
always follow the recommendations
on the equipment (pressure and
spraying distance).
If there are damaged areas on the
vehicle (painted bumpers, or head-
lamps), it is not recommended to
direct the high pressure jet onto
them. Wash these areas by hand.
Also avoid the entry of water into the
locks.
For all questions relating to the main-
tenance of your vehicle, contact an
approved dealer who can advise you
on quality products selected by our
departments.
- Clean off bird droppings,
resinous deposits, tar
stains and grease marks
as soon as possible;
(these all contain substances
which can cause serious damage
to the paintwork).
- Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth,
or detergent or solvent products to
clean the double lens, complex
surface headlamps as they are fit-
ted with polycarbonate glass cove-
red in a protective finish.
- Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain
removers to clean the bodywork
and plastic parts of your vehicle.
- To prevent the development of
bodywork corrosion as a result of
accidental damage (stone chips,
scratches etc.), have them repai-
red swiftly.
