maltatoday | SUNDAY • 4 NOVEMBER 2018 FIMBank supports Pink October campaign COMMERCIAL 19 DACIA'S iconic model has been re- vamped with new styling, new equip- ment and a fully-updated interior. The all-new Duster remains spacious as ever whilst boasting the same off-road ability and is available at a great price (for a lot of car)! The all-new Duster has a bolder per- sonality, both inside and outside. The exterior is brand-new, featuring more pronounced lines to emphasise the car's forceful character. The all-new Dacia Duster also features two new body colours:- Atacama Orange and Dune Beige. The fit and finish has been enhanced, too. Some features to defi- nitely look out for:- - A new, more distinctive, grille which extends to the head lights. - A new lighting signature including LED daytime running lights. - A larger, mass-coloured, scratch-re- sistant front & rear skid plate. - Newly revamped aluminium roof bars. - New redesigned 17-inch wheels The styling of the status-enhancing interior has been updated for upgraded comfort and to make the model even more practical in everyday use. The steeply raked windscreen makes the cabin feel bigger, while its acoustics have been significantly improved and cabin insulation significantly reduces noise from outside the car - a perfect upgrade for our country! Travelling comfort has reached new heights. Storage capacity has been in- creased by 5.8 litres for a total of 28.6 litres. Many of the easy-to-access stowage spaces have been redesigned to make the travelling experience simpler, in- cluding the new 2.7-litre stowage tray situated under the passenger seat. The All-New Duster comes with a host of new equipment to enhance trav- elling comfort and driving pleasure. It is the first Dacia to offer automatic cli- mate control. Featuring five air vents, cool or warm air is delivered optimally around the cabin. Great news for local drivers - Dacia has further upgraded the air conditioning system for better use in warmer climates! A keyless entry system has also been introduced for the first time. This user- friendly system automatically opens all the doors without the need of pressing buttons on the key (it can be left in your pocket) and provides remote locking (accompanied by audible confirmation) as the driver walks away. The driver does not need to take their key out to start the vehicle thanks to the start/ stop button.

The all-new Dacia Duster FIMBANK has supported breast cancer awareness through Pink October donation initiatives. Over the past weeks, em- ployees of the Bank have been encouraged to purchase Pink October ribbons and trolley coin keychains. The money col- lected will be used to aid the Action for Breast Cancer Foun- dation, a voluntary organisation that is campaigning for a quality assured service in order to diagnose and treat breast cancer in Malta. "As a Malta-based financial institution, we are determined to contribute to the wellbeing of the local community by pro- viding our input to this initiative. Awareness and appropriate action are critical for the survival of diagnosed breast can- cer patients. We are pleased to do our part alongside other organisations who are donating. Such activities dovetail with the Bank's mission and values. As breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and accounts for the largest number of cancer-related deaths in women in Europe, FIMBank con- tinues to emphasise the importance of awareness and regular check-ups. Such screening has also been included in our em- ployees' health benefits." said Christine Coleiro, Group Chief Human Resources Officer at FIMBank. Such donations allow the Foundation to continue building on the remarkable work undertaken thus far. The Foundation uses such donations to organise awareness programmes for both individuals and health care professionals, to strengthen everyone's awareness on the dangers of cancer and its reper- cussions.
