Rust Resistant
Rust-Resistant Body1. General
Rust-resistant performance is ensured by an anti-corrosion treatment which includes the application of anti-rust wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to corrosion-prone parts such as the engine hood, doors and rocker panels.
2. Wax and Sealer
Wax is applied to the edges of the door lower portion, door hinge and fuel filler lid hinge to improve rust-resistant performance. Sealer is applied to hemmed portions of the door panels and engine hood.
3. Anti-chipping Application
On the models without the rocker protector, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) anti-chipping coating is used on the front end of the engine hood and rocker panels in order to minimize paint damage due to chipping and improve the anti-corrosion performance.
