BODYWORK
Protection From Atmospheric Agents
Vehicle body care requirements vary according
to geographic locations and usage. Chemicals
that make roads passable in snow and ice and
those that are sprayed on trees and road
surfaces during other seasons are highly
corrosive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside
parking, which exposes your vehicle to airborne
contaminants, road surfaces on which the
vehicle is operated, extreme hot or cold weather
and other extreme conditions will have an
adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and
underbody protection.
The following maintenance recommendations
will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from
the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or
removal of paint and protective coatings from
your vehicle.
The most common causes are:

Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation.

Stone and gravel impact.

Insects, tree sap and tar.

Salt in the air near seacoast localities.

Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.
CAUTION!
Before removal of the positive and negative
terminals to the battery, wait at least a min -
ute with ignition switch in the OFF position
and close the drivers door. When reconnect -
ing the positive and negative terminals to the
battery be sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF position and the drivers door is closed.
