Prevent BYD e6A from corrosion
Proper maintenance can protect the car
against corrosion for a long time.
The common causes for car corrosion are:
●
Saline-alkali, dust, and moisture
concentrates at unaccessible part under
the bottom of the car.
●
The paint film or base coating is scratched
by slight crash or foreign bodies such as
sand.
If operating the car under special
circumstance or environment, please take
special care:
●
Dust on roads that contains with
saline-alkali or chemical substances will
speed up corrosion; the air along a
seacoast or in regions polluted by
industries is also saline.
●
High moisture will speed up corrosion,
especially at a site with a temperature just
over 0 °C.
●
When certain parts of the vehicle are
always exposed to moisture or humidity,
even if the rest parts are kept dry,
corrosion will occur.
●
High compartment temperature may
cause corrosion to the parts which can not
get dry quickly due to lack of proper
ventilation.
The above items show that it is very important
to keep the vehicle, especially its bottom,
clean and repair the damaged paint and
protective coating as soon as possible.
To prevent corrosion of BYD e6A, please
follow the instructions below:
Wash the vehicle regularly. Washing your
vehicle regularly can keep it clean. But for
anti-corrosion purposes, please abide by the
following points:
●
In winter if you drive the vehicle on the
road with saline-alkali or live by the sea,
please wash the running parts of the
vehicle at least once per month to reduce
corrosion.
●
High pressure water or steam is effective
for cleaning chassis and wheel covers.
But pay attention to the battery pack
under the chassis when washing, and do
not flush it directly. Slush and dirt in these
positions are difficult to remove; you need
to pay extra attention as getting the slush
and debris wet without removing them
may cause severe damage. Please avoid
the dust blocking the drain holes on the
lower edges of the doors, sill plates and
frame, otherwise accumulated water will
lead to corrosion.
●
Arrange a thorough cleaning for the
chassis when winter is over.
For more hints, refer to "Washing and
Waxing".
NOTICE
Prevent the electrical elements, such as
motor controller and battery, from water
spilling when washing the vehicle in order
not to damage these electrical elements.
