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 (see “Bodywork paint identifi-

cation plate” in the “Technical Specifica-

tions” section).

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 car, Fiat implemented the best

manufacturing technologies to effectively

protect the bodywork against corrosion.

These are the most important:

❒

paint products and systems which give

the car particular resistance to corro-

sion and abrasion;

❒

use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel

sheets, with high resistance to corro-

sion;

❒

spraying the underbody, engine com-

partment, wheelhouse internal parts

and other parts with highly protective

wax products;

❒

spraying of plastic materials for pro-

tective purposes in the most exposed

points: under the doors, inside the

mudguard, along the edges, etc.

❒

use of “open” boxed sections to pre-

vent condensation and pockets of mois-

ture from triggering rust inside.
