Vehicle Corrosion
Prevention
The most common causes of vehicle
corrosion are:
• The underbody of the vehicle is
covered in salt, dust or moisture.
• The vehicle or some of its parts are
exposed to high humidity and high
temperature for a long time.
• The paint layer or underlayer is
scratched by minor collision or by
stones and gravel.
The following rules should be observed
to prevent vehicle corrosion:
• Wash the vehicle frequently.
•
If driving on saline roads in winter
or living in coastal areas, wash
the landing area of the vehicle
at least once a month, and clean
the chassis and hubcap with a
high-pressure water jet or steam to
reduce corrosion. Wash the chassis
thoroughly after winter.
• Check body paint and trims.
•
Any chip or crack found on the
paint must be repaired immediately
to prevent corrosion. If fragments
or cracks peel o󽗈 from the metal
surface, it is recommended to go to
a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for repair.
• Check cabin interior.
•Moisture and dust buildup under the
carpet can cause corrosion. Check
the undersides of carpets frequently
to make sure these areas are dry.
•Special care should be taken when
transporting chemicals, detergents,
fertilizers, salt, and other substances,
and such substances should be
kept in appropriate containers for
transportation. If spillage or leakage
is found, clean immediately and keep
dry.
• Use fenders.
•Fenders can protect vehicles in saline
areas or on gravel roads. The bigger
and closer to the ground the fender,
the better.
