MOST COMMON FACTORS CONTRIBUT-
ING TO VEHICLE CORROSION
T32A130827-81558637-6389-47B3-ABF5-4A3221A5BC65
. The accumulation of moisture-retaining dirt and
debris in body panel sections, cavities, and other
areas.
. Damage to the paint surface and other protective
coatings caused by gravel and stone chips or
minor traffic accidents.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCE
RATE OF CORROSION
T32A130827-3FC66B16-681C-4FE2-8F25-48F4C4EA08F9
T32A130827-DAD060B3-3DCD-45BC-A61C-27F7B70AEF74
The accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the inside
floor of the vehicle can accelerate corrosion. Wet floor
carpet/floor mats will not dry completely inside the
vehicle. They should be removed and completely dried
to avoid floor panel corrosion.
Relative humidity
T32A130827-6D19F150-CCDF-4E5D-8D3D-B473F199985C
Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high relative
humidity.
Temperature
T32A130827-F60DFABF-9DAB-4B4F-B4FA-B73FD551C8B9
High temperatures accelerate the rate of corrosion to
those parts which are not well ventilated.
Corrosion will also be accelerated in areas where the
temperatures stay above freezing.
Air pollution
T32A130827-358B8802-21CA-4331-B61A-68560BEE1792
Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in the air in
coastal areas, or heavy road salt use accelerates the
corrosion process. Road salt also accelerates the
disintegration of paint surfaces.
TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION
T32A130827-CB6DD96E-D4B5-4F03-B7B8-CD9012C01D4F
. Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the
vehicle clean.
. Always check for minor damage to the paint
surface and if any exists, repair it as soon as
possible.
. Keep the drain holes in the lower edge of the
doors open to avoid water accumulation.
. Check the vehicle 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 compartment 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 the winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically.
For additional protection against rust and corrosion,
which may be required in some areas, consult a
NISSAN dealer.
