BODYWORK
PROTECTION AGAINST
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the
following:
atmospheric pollution;
salty air and humidity (coastal areas,
or hot humid climates);
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)
sheet metal, with high resistance to
corrosion;
spraying the underbody, engine
compartment, wheelhouse internal
parts and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
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 from triggering rust inside.
VEHICLE EXTERIOR AND
UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to corrosion of
any original element of the structure
or body.
For the general terms of this warranty,
refer to the Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork
Paintwork does not only serve an
aesthetic purpose, but also protects the
underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent rust formation.
Use only original paint products for
touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in the “Technical
specifications” section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork
consists in washing the vehicle: the
frequency depends on the conditions
and environment where the vehicle
is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the
vehicle more often in areas with high
levels of environmental pollution or on
roads spread with salt.To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed
as follows:
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois.
If you put the vehicle through a car
wash, follow these recommendations:
– remove the aerial from the roof so
it does not get damaged;
– water added to a soapy solution
should be used for washing;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks
staying on the bodywork or less visible
parts.
39)Dry the less visible parts with special
care, such as the door frames, bonnet
and the headlight frames, where water
may stagnate more easily. It is a good
idea to leave the vehicle outdoors
for a while after washing it to give water
time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been left in the sun or with the bonnet
hot: this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.
