BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the exterior of the vehicle regularly. Your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products. It is nevertheless subject to various outside influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
- Atmospheric pollution (built-up and industrial areas); Saline atmospheres (near the sea, particularly in hot weather); Seasonal and damp weather conditions (e.g. road salt in winter, water from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor Impacts
Abrasive action Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc. You should take a number of minor pre-cautions in order to safeguard your vehicle against such risks.
You Should
Wash your car frequently, with the engine off, with cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products). Rinse thoroughly beforehand with a jet:
- Spots of tree resin and industrial grime; Mud in the wheel arches and under-heath the body which forms damp patches; Bird droppings, which cause a chemical reaction with the paint that rapidly discolors paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off; Wash the vehicle immediately to remove these marks since it is impossible to remove them by polishing; Salt, particularly in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driving in areas where the roads have been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves, etc.) from the vehicle regularly. Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public highway). Observe the vehicle stopping distances when driving on graveled 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 anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Document. If it is necessary to clean mechanical components, hinges, etc., spray them with products approved by our 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 the manufacturers accessory outlets.
What You Should Not Do
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures. Do not scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting. Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior. Allow rust to form following minor impacts. Do not use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove stains as this could damage the paint-work. Do not drive in snow or muddy conditions without washing the vehicle, particularly under the wheel arches and body.
Degrease or clean using high-pressure cleaning equipment or by spraying on products not approved by our Technical Department:
- Mechanical components (e.g.: engine compartment); Underbody; Parts with hinges (e.g.: inside the doors); Painted plastic external fittings (e.g.: bumpers).
Doing this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.
Vehicles with a matte paint finish
This type of paint requires certain pre- cautions. You should do the following Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle sponge.
Do not do the following
Use wax-based products (polishing). Rub too hard. Wash the vehicle in a roller-type car wash. Attach stickers to the paintwork (risk of leaving marks).
Wash the vehicle using a high-pressure cleaning device.
Using a Roller type car Wash

Check the mounting of external accessories, additional lights and rear view mirrors, and ensure that the wiper blades are secured with adhesive tape. Remove the radio aerial mast if your vehicle is fitted with this equipment. Remember to remove the tape and refit the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights, sensors and cameras
Use a soft cloth or cotton wool. If this does not clean them properly, moisten the cloth with soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool. Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth. Do not use cleaning products containing alcohol or utensils (e.g.: a scraper).
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE
A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the interior of the vehicle regularly. A stain should always be dealt with swiftly. Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use cold (or warm) soapy water with natural soap. Detergents (washing-up liquid, powdered products, alcohol-based products) should not be used. Use a soft cloth. Rinse and soak up the excess.
Glass instrument panel (e.g. instrument panel, clock, exterior temperature display, radio display, etc.) Use a soft cloth (or cotton wool). If this does not clean them properly, use a soft cloth (or cotton wool) slightly moistened with soapy water and then wipe clean with another soft damp cloth or cotton wool. Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use products containing alcohol and/or spray fluids on the area.
Seat Belts
These must be kept clean. Use products selected by our Technical Department (Approved outlets) or warm, soapy water and a sponge and wipe with a dry cloth. Detergents or dyes must not be used under any circumstances. Textiles (seats, door trim, etc) Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.
Liquid stain Use soapy water. Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth, rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or Pasty Sain
Carefully remove the excess solid or pasty material immediately with a spatula (working from the edges to the centre to avoid spreading the stain). Clean as for a liquid stain. Special instructions for sweets or chewing gum Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
Removal/replacing removable equipment originally fitted in the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment in order to clean the passenger compartment (for example, mats), always ensure that they are correctly refitted and are the right way around (the driver’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s side, etc.) and fit them with the components supplied with the equipment (for example, the driver mat should always be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting components). With the vehicle stationary, always ensure that nothing will impede driving (anything obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by the mat etc.).
You should not Position objects such as deodorants, scents etc. near air vents as this could damage your dashboard trim.
Use high-pressure cleaning equipment or sprays inside the passenger compartment
without careful use, this equipment could impair the correct functioning of the electrical or electronic components in the vehicle, or have other detrimental effects.
