BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are
the following:
❒ atmospheric pollution;
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas,
KA00080m
or hot humid climates);
❒ seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne
atmospheric dust and sand, as well
as mud and gravel raised by other
cars is also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Ford 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 pretreated)
steel sheets, with high resistance
to corrosion;
