BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM 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
vehicles is also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Fiat has adopted the best manufacturing
technologies to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒ Painting products and systems which give the car
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with
high resistance to corrosion;
❒ spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
wheel arch interiors 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.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation
due to rust of any original element of the structure
