Rust Resistant
Rust-Resistant Body1. General
Rust-resistant performance is ensured by the extensive use of anti-corrosion sheet steel, as well as by an anti-corrosion treatment which includes the application of anti-rust wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to easily corroded parts such as the hood, doors and rocker panels.
2. Anti-corrosion Sheet Steel
Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used in all areas other than the interior parts.
3. Wax and Sealer
Wax and sealer are applied to hemmed portions of the hood, door panels, rocker panels, and back door to improve rust-resistant performance.
4. Under Coat
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is applied to the underside of the body, inside the rear wheel housings, and other parts that are susceptible to stone chipping damage, thus ensuring the rust-resistant performance of these areas.
5. Anti-chipping Application
^ To protect the paint from chipping while the vehicle is being driven, anti-chipping paint is applied to the rockers and the lower part of the doors, and soft-chipping primer is applied to the front end of the hood panel.
^ mAnti-chipping tape has been provided to the lower part of the rear doors of the models for the cold areas to protect the paint and ensure anti-corrosion performance.
