WARNING<br />

Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the<br />

retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye, or chemical<br />

solvents to clean the seat belts, since<br />

these materials may severely weaken the<br />

seat belt webbing.<br />

CORROSION PROTECTION<br />

MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRI-<br />

BUTING TO VEHICLE CORROSION<br />

. The accumulation of moisture-retaining<br />

dirt and debris in body panel sections,<br />

cavities, and other areas.<br />

. Damage to paint and other protective<br />

coatings caused by gravel and stone<br />

chips or minor traffic accidents.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLU-<br />

ENCE THE RATE OF CORROSION<br />

Moisture<br />

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on<br />

the vehicle body underside can accelerate<br />

corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry<br />

completely inside the vehicle, and should<br />

be removed for drying to avoid floor panel<br />

corrosion.<br />

Relative humidity<br />

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of<br />

high relative humidity, especially those<br />

areas where the temperatures stay above<br />

freezing where atmospheric pollution exists,<br />

or where road salt is used.<br />

Temperature<br />

A temperature increase will accelerate the<br />

rate of corrosion to those parts which are<br />

not well ventilated.<br />

Air pollution<br />

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in<br />

the air in coastal areas, or heavy road salt<br />

use will accelerate the corrosion process.<br />

Road salt will also accelerate the disintegration<br />

of paint surfaces.<br />

TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM<br />

CORROSION<br />

. Wash and wax your vehicle often to<br />

keep the vehicle clean.<br />

. Always check for minor damage to the<br />

paint and repair it as soon as possible.<br />

. Keep drain holes at the bottom of the<br />

doors open to avoid water accumulation.<br />

. Check the underbody for accumulation<br />

of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash<br />

with water as soon as possible.<br />
