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.
