– Application of enamels with greater

resistance to atmospheric pollutants.

– Adoption of “open” boxed parts to

prevent condensation from triggering cor-

rosion from the inside.

The underbody is treated with the appli-

cation of a special protective material.

If this protective layer requires restora-

tion the exhaust system, lambda probe

and catalytic converter must be left free

of any wax, oil, plastic and/or inflamma-

ble product.

This should therefore be carried out by

Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

SPRAY JETS

Make sure that the windscreen and

headlight washer jets deliver a jet of fluid

which is adequate and correctly directed.

If the spray devices are not working

check that the supply circuit is not

blocked. If necessary unclog the nozzles

using a needle.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROM

ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

Alfa Romeo employs manufacturing

technologies which are designed to pro-

tect the bodywork against chemical corro-

sion caused by various factors, for exam-

ple:

– atmospheric pollution.

– Salty air and humidity (coastal areas,

hot-humid climates).

– Road surfaces covered with salt and

de-icing products during the winter.

To further increase resistance against

corrosion the following procedures have

been adopted:

– painting system and paint products

which render the vehicle particularly resis-

tant to corrosion and abrasion.

– Wide use of sheet metal which is ex-

tremely resistant to corrosion.

– Spraying of the underbody, engine

bay, wheel arches and boxed parts with

suitable products which adhere strongly

to the metal parts and have a high pro-

tection capability.
