BODYWORK
PROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC
A
GENTS
The vehicle is equipped with the best available
technological solutions to protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These include:
Painting products and systems which give the
vehicle resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
Use of galvanized (or pre-treated) steel sheets,
with high resistance to corrosion.
Spraying of plastic parts, with a protective
function in the more exposed points: under
door, inner wing, edges, etc.
Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture which
could favor the formation of rust inside.
Use of special films to protect against abrasion
in exposed areas (e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).
CORROSION WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by Corrosion Warranty
against perforation due to rust of any original
element of the structure or bodywork. For the
general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.
PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent the formation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of 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
atmospheric pollution or salted roads.
Some parts of the vehicle may be covered with a
matte paint which, in order to be maintained
intact, requires special care.
To correctly wash the vehicle, follow these
instructions:
If high pressure jets or cleaners are used to
wash the vehicle, keep a distance of at least
15 inches (40 cm) from the bodywork to avoid
damage or alteration. Build up of water could
cause damage to the vehicle in the long term.
To make it easier to remove any dirt deposits in
the area where the blades are normally located
it is recommended to position the windshield
wipers vertically (service position)
Ú
page 201.
Wash the bodywork using a low pressure jet of
water if possible.
Wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution
over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the
sponge.
Rinse well with water and dry with a leather
chamois.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames, hood,
headlight frames, etc.) with special care, as water
may stagnate more easily in these areas. Do not
wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun
or with the hood hot: this may alter the shine of
the paintwork.
NOTE:
Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by
trees makes the paintwork go opaque and
increases the possibility of corrosion. Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the
same way as the rest of the vehicle.
If washing the vehicle in a service that moves the
vehicle, for vehicles with automatic transmissions,
proceed with the following directions:
Ensure that the vehicle is on a flat surface.
Disable the automatic engagement of the
parking brake
Ú
page 84.
With the vehicle stationary, the gear in
NEUTRAL (N) and the brake pedal pressed,
push the START button.
NOTE:
The vehicle will remain in NEUTRAL (N) for
15 minutes before PARK (P) will be engaged auto
-
matically.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
prevent scratching or altering the transparency.
Front Headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and detergent for
washing vehicles.
NOTE:
Never use aromatic substances (e.g. gasoline)
or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the headlights.
When cleaning with a pressure washer, keep
the pressure washer at least eight inches
(20 cm) away from the headlights.
CAUTION!
Wipe the rear window inside gently with a cloth
following the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
