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 paint-
work a matt appearance (espe-
cially visible on dark colours);
– using a high pressure washer:
always follow the recommenda-
tions on the equipment (pressure
and spraying distance).
If there are damaged areas on the
vehicle
(painted
bumpers
headlamps), it is not recommend-
ed 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
maintenance of your vehicle, con-
tact an approved dealer who can
advise you on quality products
selected by our departments.
