BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are: atmospheric
pollution, salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot
humid climates) and seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated. On your vehicle, Fiat has
implemented the best manufacturing technologies to
effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These include:
❒painting products and systems which give the vehicle
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with
high resistance to corrosion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
internal wheel arches and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
❒spraying of protective plastic material in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner mudguard parts,
edges, etc...;
❒Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture which could
cause rust to form inside. Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if
necessary using a needle.
The washer jets should be positioned by adjusting the
angle of the sprays using a small straight-headed
screwdriver.
The jets must be directed at about
1/3of the height from
the window upper edge.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Check the correct condition and cleanliness of nozzles
at regular intervals.
The headlamp washers come on automatically when the
windscreen washer is operated with the dipped
headlamps on.

INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth
and a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and
specifically designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated parts to remove
grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel.
LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR KNOB
These components must be cleaned with mild soap and
water only.
Never use alcohol and/or alcohol-based products.
Before using off-the-shelves products designed for
cleaning car interiors, make sure that they do not
contain alcohol and/or alcohol based substances before
using them.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto the steering
wheel or gear lever knob, wipe away immediately and
then wash the affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using a steering wheel
lock device, where applicable, to prevent damaging the
leather upholstery by rubbing. SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
The fabric upholstery of your vehicle is
designed to withstand the normal wear
and tear of your vehicle for a long time.
You are however recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metal buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, as these items cause stress
of the cover fabric that could lead threads to
break and damage the upholstery.
