BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation
due to rust of any original element of the structure
or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose,
but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent rust formation. Use only original paint
products for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in the “Technical specifications”
section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork consists in
washing the car: the frequency depends on the
conditions and environment where the car is used.
For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are spread with salt, it is advisable to wash the car
more frequently.
To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒ remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage
to it if the car is washed in an automatic system;
❒ if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash
the vehicle, keep a distance of at least 40 cm
from the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration.
It should be remembered that the build up of
water can damage the car over a period of time;
❒ wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over
the bodywork, frequently rinsing with the sponge;
❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a
chamois leather.
