Rust preventive measures
Keep your Perodua clean;
If you live in the area where rust formation is
prone to occur like near seacoast, or where
industrial pollutants spread, be especially
careful of rust formation.
We recommend washing the underside of
your vehicle at least once a month.
Clean the fenders and other parts hidden
from you.
Wash away mud thoroughly as wet mud
could promote rust formation.
When cleaning the under-side of the doors,
rocker panels, frame members, and so forth,
make sure the water drain holes are not
clogged.
