Proper cleaning
In order to protect your vehicle from cor-
rosion it is recommended that you wash
your vehicle thoroughly and frequently in
case:

There is a heavy accumulation of dirt
and mud especially on the under-
body.

It is driven in areas having high at-
mospheric pollution due to smoke,
soot, dust, iron dust and other chem-
ical pollutants.

It is driven in coastal areas.

The underbody must be thoroughly
pressure washed after every three
months.
In addition to regularly washing your car,
the following precautions need to be
taken.
Periodic Inspection

Regularly inspect your vehicle for any
damage in the paint film such as
deep scratches and immediately get
them repaired from an authorized
service outlet, as these defects tend
to accelerate corrosion.

Inspect mud liners for damages.

Keep all drain holes clear from clog-
ging.
Proper Parking

Always park your vehicle in shade to
protect it from harsh sunlight or in a
well-ventilated garage so that there
is no dampness on any part of the ve-
hicle.


To prevent damage to the wipers or
windshield, do not operate the wip-
ers when the windshield is dry.

To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not at-
tempt to move the wipers manually.
