PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are:
❒ atmospheric pollution;
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid
climates);
❒ seasonal environment conditions.
In addition, the abrasiveness of dust in the atmosphere
and sand carried by the wind as well as mud and
stones kicked up by other cars must not be
underestimated.
On your Fiat Multipla, Fiat implemented the best
manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the
bodywork against corrosion.
These include:
❒ painting products and systems which give the car
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒ use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets, with
high resistance to corrosion;
❒ spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
wheelhouse internal parts and other parts with
highly protective wax products;
❒ spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function,
in the most exposed points: underdoor, inner
fender parts, edges, etc.
❒ use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture from
triggering rust inside.
