BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to rust of any original el-
ement of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to Fiat Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose, but also protects the un-
derlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immedi-
ately to prevent the formation of rust. On-
ly use genuine spare paint products for
touch-ups.BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
atmospheric pollution;
salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or
hot humid climates);
seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the abra-
sive action of wind-borne atmospheric
dust and sand and mud and gravel raised
by other cars.
On your Fiat vehicle, Fiat implemented
the best manufacturing technologies to
effectively protect the bodywork against
corrosion.These include:
painting products and systems which
give the car particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
products;
spraying of plastic parts, with a
use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.
