BODYWORKPROTECTION AGAINST
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The car is equipped with the best
available technological solutions to
effectively protect the bodywork against
corrosion.
These include:
❒painting products and systems which
give the car resistance to corrosion
and abrasion
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel
sheets, with high resistance to
corrosion;
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a
protective function in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner
wing, edges, etc;
❒use of “open” boxed sections to
prevent condensation and pockets of
moisture which could favour the
formation of rust inside;
❒use of special films to protect against
abrasion in exposed areas (e.g. rear
wing, doors, etc.).BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to rust of any original

PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork
6)
38)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of
washing the car: the frequency
depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used. For
example, it is advisable to wash the
car more often in areas with high levels
of atmospheric pollution or salted
roads.
On some versions the car may be
equipped, on request, with an exclusive
opaque paint on the roof which, in
order to be maintained intact, requires
special care: see the instructions in
the warning.
