BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
Protection against the action of
corrosive agents
Although your car has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion
products, it nevertheless remains
subject to the action of:
• Corrosives in the atmosphere
- Atmospheric pollution (built-up
and industrial areas).
- Saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather).
- Seasonal and humid climatic
conditions, especially road salt
in winter.
• Abrasives
- Wind-carried dust and sand,
mud, road grit thrown up by
other vehicles.
• Minor impacts
A minimum amount of protection is
necessary to guard your car against

benefit of these developments.
Do not
• Wash the vehicle in bright
sunlight or freezing temperatures.
• Scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
• Allow external dirt to
accumulate.
• Allow rust to form following
minor impacts.
• Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove
spots as this could damage the
paintwork.
• Drive frequently in snow or
muddy conditions without
periodically washing the car,
particularly under the wheel
arches and body.
• Degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. engine
compartment), underneath the
bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.
inside the fuel tank flap) and
painted plastic external fittings
(e.g. bumpers) using high-
pressure cleaning apparatus or by
spraying on products not
approved by Renault’s Technical
Department as this could
give rise to corrosion or incorrect
operation.
