These include:
❒ 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 of plastic parts, with a pro-

tective function, in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc.;

❒ Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-

vent condensation and pockets of
moisture from triggering rust inside;

❒ use of special anti-abrasion protective

tapes in the most exposed areas
(e.g.: rear mudguard, rear door,
etc.).

Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to rust of any original el-
ement of the structure or body. For the
general terms of this warranty, refer to
the Alfa Romeo Warranty booklet.

The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒ atmospheric pollution;
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas,

or hot humid climates);

❒ seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the
abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-
pheric dust and sand and mud and grav-
el raised by other cars.

On your car, Alfa Romeo implemented
the best manufacturing technologies to
effectively protect the bodywork against
corrosion.
