After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes whilst driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If

the brakes by applying them lightly
whilst maintaining a slow forward
speed.

Corrosion protection

V L R Q
By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produces 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.
& R P P R Q F D X V H V R I F R U U R V L R Q
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 unprotected metal exposed to
corrosion.

If you live in an area where your vehicle
is regularly exposed to corrosive
materials, corrosion protection is
particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated
corrosion are road salts, dust control
chemicals, ocean air and industrial
pollution.

Keep your garage dry
Don’t park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This creates
a favorable environment for corrosion.
This is particularly true if you wash your
vehicle in the garage or drive it into the
garage when it is still wet or covered
with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated
garage can contribute to corrosion
unless it is well ventilated so moisture is
dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should
be covered with “touch-up” paint as
soon as possible to reduce the possibility
of corrosion. If bare metal is showing
through, the attention of a qualified
body and paint shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as soon
as possible.
Don’t neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting to cause corrosion.
Check under the mats periodically to be
sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular
care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning
materials or chemicals in the vehicle.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks should
be cleaned up, flushed with clean water
and thoroughly dried.
Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner
and air freshener from contacting the
interior parts because they may cause
damage or discolouration. If they do
contact the interior parts, wipe them off
immediately.
See the instructions that follow for the
proper way to clean vinyl.
NOTICE
Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle as this may damage them.
NOTICE
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use neutral
detergents or low alcohol content
solutions. If you use high alcohol
content solutions or acid/alkaline
detergents, the colour of the leather
may fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
