Application of sealants

The tables below show the main points on the bodyshell that require sealant.

A suitable sealant should be used for each part.

The sealants employed have different characteristics and are graphically distinguished as follows:

* - blue line: anti-abrasion seal
** - green line: heat hardening sealant for interiors
*** - pink line: heat hardening sealant for exterior
**** - red line: high consistency thermal setting filler

The symbols used for indicating the type of sealant used on the vehicle components are illustrated in the table below.

F	Sealant against wind noise
G	Sealant against exhaust gases/odours
P	Sealant against dust
