Corrosion Protection
Two factors normally contribute to
causing corrosion in your car:
1. Moisture trapped in body cavities.
Dirt and road salt that collects in
hollows on the underside of the
car stays damp, promoting corro-
sion in that area.
2. Removal of paint and protective
coatings from the exterior and
underside of the car.
Appearance Care

Many corrosion-preventive measures
are built into your Acura. You can
help keep your car from corroding by
performing some simple periodic
maintenance:
Repair chips and scratches in the
paint as soon as you discover them.
Inspect and clean out the drain
holes in the bottom of the doors
and body.
Check the floor coverings for
dampness. Carpeting and floor
mats may remain damp for a long
time, especially in winter. This
dampness can eventually cause the
floor panels to corrode.
Use a high-pressure spray to clean
the underside of your car. This is
especially important in areas that
use road salt in winter. It is also a
good idea in humid climates and
areas subject to salt air. Be careful
of the Anti-lock brake system
sensors and wiring at each wheel.
Have the corrosion-preventive
coatings on the underside of your
car inspected and repaired periodi-
cally.
Your Acura is protected by a Rust
Perforation Limited Warranty. Read
your warranty manual for more
details.
