Proper maintenance helps protect the
vehicle from rusting for long term.
The most common causes of vehicle
rusting are:
y
Road salt, alkali, dust or moisture
that is accumulated underneath
the vehicle;
y
Damage of paint or protective
coating by stones, gravel or minor
scrape, which leave unprotected
metal exposed to corrosion.
The corrosion process becomes
faster in the cases listed below. Pay
special attention to keeping the
underside of the vehicle clean, and
repair damage in the paint or
protective coating as soon as
possible.
y Roadway dust containing salt,
alkali and chemicals will
accelerate the corrosion. In
industrial districts or sea coast
regions, the air contains salt
particles.
y
High humidity will accelerate the
corrosion, especially when the
temperature is just above freezing
point.
y
Wet or damp on certain parts of
your vehicle for an extended
period of time, may cause
corrosion even though other parts
of the vehicle may be dry.
y
High temperatures will accelerate
corrosion of those parts which are
prevented from drying due to lack
of proper ventilation.
Follow the instructions below to
protect the vehicle from corrosion:
Wash your vehicle frequently. Regular
washing helps keep the vehicle body
clean. Be sure to observe the guides
below on vehicle washing.
y
If you drive on dusty road or live
near the ocean in winter, wash
your chassis at least once a month
to minimize corrosion.
y
High pressure water or steam is
effective for cleaning the vehicle’s
underside and wheel covers. Pay
particular attention to these areas
as it is difficult to see all the mud
and dirt. It will do greater harm if
you simply wet the mud and debris
without removing it. The lower
edge of doors, rocker panels and
frame members have drain holes.
Prevent the holes from being
blocked with dirt as trapped water
in these areas can cause
corrosion.
y When the winter is over, you had
better wash the underside of your
vehicle thoroughly.
See “Washing and Waxing” for more
tips.
