Corrosion protection
Your vehicle is constructed with effective protection against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings on the sheet metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimized metal overlap, and shielding plastic components, abrasion protection and supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminum.
Inspection and maintenance
The corrosion protection does not normally require maintenance but keeping the vehicle clean is always a good way to further reduce the risk of corrosion. The use of strong alkaline or acidic cleaning fluids should always be avoided on shiny body components. Any stone chips in the paint should be touched up as soon as they are discovered.
