Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
If you live  in an area where  your vehicle
is regularly exposed  to corrosive materi-
als,  corrosion  protection  is   particularly
important. Some of  the common causes
of accelerated  corrosion  are road  salts,
dust  control  chemicals,  ocean  air   and
industrial pollution.
Moisture creates the  conditions in which
corrosion  is   most  likely  to   occur.  For
example,  corrosion   is   accelerated   by
high humidity, particularly when tempera-
tures  are  just  above  freezing.  In  such
conditions, the corrosive  material is kept
in  contact with  the  vehicle’s surface  by
moisture that evaporate slowly.
Mud is  particularly  corrosive because  it
dries slowly  and  holds moisture  in con-
tact  with the  vehicle. Although  the mud
appears to  be  dry, it  can still  retain the
moisture and promote corrosion.
High  temperatures  can also  accelerate
corrosion  of parts  that  are not  properly
ventilated  so  the  moisture  can be  dis-
persed. For all these reasons, it is partic-
ularly  important   to   keep  your   vehicle
clean and  free of mud  or accumulations
of other  materials. This applies  not only
to the  visible surfaces but  particularly to
the underside of the vehicle.
By using the  most advanced design and
construction  practices to  combat  corro-
sion, we produce  vehicles of the highest
quality. However,  this is  only part  of the
job. To  achieve  the long-term  corrosion
resistance  your vehicle  can  deliver, the
owner's  cooperation  and  assistance  is
also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most  common  causes of  corrosion
on your vehicle are:
Road  salt,  dirt  and   moisture  that  is
allowed to accumulate  underneath the
vehicle.
Removal of paint or protective coatings
by  stones,  gravel,  abrasion  or  minor
scrapes and dents  which leave unpro-
tected metal exposed to corrosion.
