Rusting is increased by high humidity and by the presence of
corrosive substances in the air or on the roads.
Salt used for road de-icing will coat the bottom of the car and hasten
rusting.
Localities with high humidity have greater potential for rust
problems, especially where salt is also present on the road or in
moist sea air.
Industrial pollution will accelerate the deterioration of paint
finishes and promote rusting.
Preventive Service
Check all drain holes in the doors and body panels for clogging and
clear if necessary. When washing your car, also clean the underside
of the car by using high pressure water; above subframe,
inside front fender rear suspension, inside rear wheel
housing, and under rear bumper.
Check for leaks after washing your car or after a heavy rain. Dry any
wet areas of your car's interior. Have leaks repaired as soon as
possible.
After driving your car, fully extend the radio antenna and wipe off any
road dirt or salt.
CAUTION: Cars with ABS have speed detection devices mounted
at wheel (total four detectors per vehicle). Care should be taken
when clearing mud, snow, etc., from the wheels not to damage the
detectors.
