PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❒ atmospheric pollution;
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas or hot and 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 al-
so not to be underestimated.
Fiat used the best manufacturing technologies on your car
to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒ painting products and systems which give the car par-
ticular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒ use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets with high
resistance to corrosion;
❒ spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel-
house internal parts and other elements with highly pro-
tective wax-based products;
❒ spraying protective plastic materials in the most exposed
areas: underdoor, inner mudguard parts, edges, etc.;
❒ using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.
