steel sheets, with high resistance
to corrosion;
❒
spraying of plastic parts with a pro-
tective function in the more ex-
posed points: under door, inner

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose, but also protects the
underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches im-
mediately to prevent the formation of
rust. Only use genuine spare paint
products for touch-ups (see “Body-
work paint identification plate” in the
“Technical Specifications” section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork
consists in washing the car: the fre-
quency depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash
the car more often in areas with a
high environmental pollution or on
roads sprinkled with salt.
