CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

Toyota, t hrough diligent resear ch, design

and us e of t he mos t advanced technology

avail able, helps prevent corr osion and pro-

vides you with the f inest qualit y vehi cle

const ruct ion. Now, it is up to you. Pr oper

care of your Toy ota can help ens ure l ong−

term cor ros ion pr eventi on.

The most common causes of vehicle

corrosi on are:

D The acc umulation of road salt, dir t and

moisture in hard−to−reac h areas under

the v ehic le.

D Chipping of pai nt, or undercoati ng

caused by mi nor ac cident s or s tones

and gr avel.

Care is especially important if you live

in parti cular areas or operate your ve-

hicle under certai n environmental condi-

tions:

D Road salt or dust contr ol chemic als w ill

accelerate corrosion, as will the pres-

ence of salt in t he air near t he sea−

coast or i n areas of i ndustr ial pollut ion.

D High humidity accel erates c orrosi on es-

pecial ly when t emperatur es range jus t

above freez ing poi nt.

D Wetness or dampness t o cer tain part s

of your vehic le for an ext ended per iod

of time, may caus e c orros ion ev en

though other part s of the v ehicl e may

be dr y.

D High ambient temperatures c ould caus e

corr osion to those vehicle components

which do not dry quic kly, due t o l ack

of pr oper venti lati on.

The above signi fies the nec ess ity t o keep

your v ehicle, parti cular ly the unders ide, as

clean as possi ble and t o r epair any dam-

age to paint or protec tiv e coat ings as

soon as poss ible.

To help pr event corr osion on your

Toyota, follow t hese guidel ines:

Wash your vehicl e fr equently. It is, of

cours e, necess ary to keep y our vehicl e

clean by regular washi ng, but to prev ent

corr osion, t he f ollowing point s should be

observ ed:

D If y ou dr ive on s alted roads in the

winter or if y ou live near the oc ean,

you s hould hos e off t he underc arri age

at least once a month to mini mize cor-

rosi on.

D High press ure wat er or steam is effec-

tiv e f or cleaning the v ehicl e’s under side

and wheel hous ings. P ay part icul ar

attent ion t o t hese areas as i t is di ffic ult

to see all the m ud and dirt. It wi ll do

more harm than good to si mply wet the

mud and debris without remov ing. The

lower edge of door s, roc ker panel s and

frame members hav e drai n holes whic h

should not be allowed t o c log with dir t

as trapped water in thes e areas can

cause c orros ion.

D Was h the under side of the vehi cle thor-

oughly when winter i s ov er.

See “ Washi ng and waxing your Toy ota” on

page 247 for mor e ti ps.

Check the condit ion of your vehicle’s

paint and trim. If you find any chips or

scr atches in the paint , touch t hem up im-

mediatel y to prev ent c orros ion from s tart-

ing. If the c hips or s crat ches hav e gone

through the bare metal , have a qualifi ed

body shop make the repair.

Check the i nteri or of your vehi cle. Wa-

ter and di rt can accumulate under t he

floor mats and could c ause c orros ion. Oc-

casi onally c heck under the mats to make

sure the area is dry. Be particularly care-

ful when trans porting chemical s, cleans-

ers, fertiliz ers, salt, etc.; t hese should be

trans ported in pr oper c ontainer s. If a s pill

or leak should occur, immediatel y clean

and dr y t he area.
