BODYWORK
Protection Against Atmospheric Agents
The vehicle is equipped with the best available
technological solutions to protect the body-
work 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 immedi-
ately to prevent the formation of rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of washing
the car: the frequency depends on the condi-
tions and environment where the car is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle
more often in areas with high levels of atmo-
spheric 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 posi-
tion the windshield wipers vertically (service
position), for more information, refer to
“Dealer Service” in this chapter.
CAUTION!
The Manual Trunk Opening Device allows
the trunk to be opened without a key, even
if the vehicle is locked. Do not use this
Device unless the vehicle is parked in a
secure area.
