7-8 Appearance and care
GUID-1AFA0C78-C890-4982-BB7E-89520EC077B5
MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRI-
BUTING TO VEHICLE CORROSION
GUID-67C57974-E9DE-4FEB-AF3F-D9F1EDEAA3CD
. The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt
and debris in body panel sections, cavities,
and other areas.
. Damage to paint and other protective coat-
ings caused by gravel and stone chips or
minor traffic accidents.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLU-
ENCE THE RATE OF CORROSION
GUID-FC2435B8-508C-4BF8-8483-9D8BC37032C5
Moisture
GUID-C449A4DA-87A1-45EC-B0DD-BE070AA201EC
Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the
vehicle body underside can accelerate corro-
sion. Wet floor coverings will not dry completely
inside the vehicle, and should be removed for
drying to avoid floor panel corrosion.
Relative humidity
GUID-6EE073CB-8348-4E26-B659-B0D23F72E520
Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high
relative humidity, especially those areas where
the temperatures stay above freezing where
atmospheric pollution exists, or where road salt
is used.
Temperature
GUID-66337590-A714-4CDB-B8D7-109CB6494DEE
A temperature increase will accelerate the rate
of corrosion to those parts which are not well
ventilated.
Air pollution
GUID-AE672010-5203-4B08-8AA6-02DC301DD452
Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air
in coastal areas, or heavy road salt use will
accelerate the corrosion process. Road salt will
also accelerate the disintegration of paint
surfaces.
TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION
GUID-82466474-2854-4204-AD97-9816A1F122FC
. Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the
vehicle clean.
. Always check for minor damage to the paint
and repair it as soon as possible.
. Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors
open to avoid water accumulation.
. Check the underbody for accumulation of
sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water
as soon as possible.
CAUTION
. NEVER remove dirt, sand or other
debris from the passenger compart-
ment by washing it out with a hose.
Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
. Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electronic
components inside the vehicle as
this may damage them.
Chemicals used for road surface deicing are
extremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion
and deterioration of underbody components
such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake
lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders.
In winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically.
For additional protection against rust and
corrosion, which may be required in some areas,
it is recommended you consult a NISSAN
dealer.
