Moisture trapped in body cavities.<br />

Dirt and salts collected in hollows on<br />

the underside of the vehicle.<br />

Removal of paint and protective<br />

coatings from the exterior and<br />

underside of the vehicle.<br />

Corrosion preventive measures<br />

have been incorporated in your vehicle.<br />

You can avoid corrosion of your vehicle<br />

by performing some simple periodic<br />

maintenance :<br />

<strong>Care</strong> and cleaning of vehicle<br />

Repair chips and scratches in the<br />

paint as soon as you discover them.<br />

Inspect and clean the drain holes in<br />

the bottom of the doors and body.<br />

Check the floor coverings for<br />

dampness. Carpets and floor mats<br />

remain for a long time, especially<br />

in winter. This can eventually cause<br />

the floor panel to corrode.<br />

Use a high-pressure spray to clean<br />

the underside of your vehicle. This<br />

is especially important in areas near<br />

chemical and other industries.<br />

Have corrosion preventive coatings<br />

done on the underside of your<br />

vehicle. Preventive coatings such<br />

as the Dinitrol-3850 are available in<br />

the market.<br />
