Anti-corrosion measures
Factors that affect the corrosion
rate
〉
The accumulation of dirt, dust, or snow
in the lower part of the vehicle body can
accelerate corrosion.
〉
Damage to the coating or other protec-
tive layer, arising from sand attacking or
minor accident, may quicken corrosion.
〉
If the vehicle runs in areas where rela-
tive humidity is high or temperature is
above freezing point, it may quicken cor-
rosion.
〉
There is much salt in the air and on the
road of industrial pollution areas and
coastal regions, which may quicken the
paint corrosion.
〉
Rising temperature may quicken the cor-
rosion of poorly ventilated parts.
Protect the vehicle from corro-
sion
〉
Regularly use clean cold water and neu-
tral vehicle detergent to wash the vehicle
so as to keep it clean.
〉
Regularly check whether the paint is
damaged. If it is, repair it as soon as
possible.
〉
Regularly check the lower part of the ve-
hicle body. If there is sand, dirt, snow,
ice or other coverings, clean them with
water as soon as possible.
〉
Keep the door drain hole open so as to
avoid water logging.
〉
If insects, asphalt, cement or other simi-
lar objects are accumulated on the vehi-
cle, clean them as soon as possible.
〉
If you always drive on a deicing salt cov-
ered road, saline-alkali land, seaside
and other roads containing salt, please
wash off the attachments at the bottom
of the vehicle at least once a month.
〉
If you drive regularly on sand road,
please consider installing mud flap be-
hind the wheels.
Long-term storage of the
vehicle
The parking position of the vehicle should
help to prevent deterioration of the vehicle
condition and facilitate the restarting of the
vehicle. If possible, please park your vehi-
cle indoor.
If you need to store the vehicle for an ex-
tended period (one month or longer),
please take the following steps before-
hand:
〉
Top up fuel.
〉
Clean and dry vehicle exterior thorough-
ly.
〉
Clean the inside of the vehicle to ensure
it is clean and tidy.
〉
Release the parking brake, and use the
