BODYWORK
PROTECTING THE CAR FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of rust are:
– atmospheric pollution
– salty and humidity in the atmos-
phere (coastal or very hot and
humid areas)
– environmental conditions that
specific to the season.
In addition, the abrasiveness of
dust in the atmosphere and sand
carried by the wind as well as mud
and stones kicked up by other cars
must not be underestimated.
For your THESIS, LANCIA has
used leading-edge technological
solutions to effectively protect the
body from rust.These are most important:
– Painting systems and products
that make the car particularly resis-
tant to rust and scratching.
– The use of zinc-plated sheet steel
which is highly resistant to rust.
– The spraying of the underbody,
engine compartment, inside the
wheelhouses and other parts with
wax-based products with a high pro-
tective capacity.
– Spraying plastic-coating materi-
als, to protect the most exposed
points: under the door, inside the
wings, the edges, etc.– The use of “open” box sections to
prevent condensation and water
from building up and rusting the
inside of the parts.
BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your THESIS is covered by war-
ranty against any original structural
or body part being perforated by
rust. Refer to the Warranty Booklet
for the general terms.

Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment without directing the water jet
against electronic control units.
Have this done at a garage.
Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should
washed with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing
make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or
removed.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas,
etc.) which could cause the steel to
rust.
Never use inflammable
products like fuel oil
ether or rectified petrol
for cleaning inside the car. The
electrostatic discharges generat-
ed when rubbing to clean may
cause fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the
risk they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be
exposed to a temperature above
50°C; when the weather starts to
get hot the temperature inside the
car might go well beyond that fig-
ure.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not
to alter the appearance of the com-
ponents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
CLEANING ALCANTARA
SEATS
Alcantara upholstery is easy to
clean. Follow the same instructions
provided for velvet upholstery.
