VEHICLE SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Corrosion Prevention
MG Motor vehicles are designed to have anti-
corrosion capabilities. The use of special
materials and protective paint on most vehicle
parts helps maintain satisfactory appearance,
strength and reliability.
Although the surfaces of certain parts inside
the engine compartment or of the underbody
may rust, the reliability or performance of
these parts will not be affected.
Metal Plate Damage
If the body needs to be repaired or replaced,
ensure that the repair shop uses proper anti-
corrosion materials to restore the anti-
corrosion protection performance.
Foreign Matter Deposition
The following substances may damage the
paint surface:
Ÿ
Calcium chloride and other salts
Ÿ
Ice melting agent
Road surface oil and asphalt
Ÿ
Sap
Ÿ
Ÿ
Bird droppings
Ÿ
Industrial dust
198
Remove harmful substances on the vehicle in
time. If residues cannot be removed with soap
liquid, a special cleaning agent can be used.
Finish Paint Damage
Repair the gravel scratches, cracks or deep
scratches on the finish paint as soon as
possible. Exposed metal is prone to corrosion.
Quick-drying products can be used to repair
tiny cracks and scratches. Body and paint
repair shops can complete large-scale repairs.
Note
Only safe cleaning agents that are
harmless to the paint surface can be
used.
Other cleaning agents may permanently
damage the paint.
Underbody Maintenance
Corrosive substances used for ice and snow
melting and dust prevention may accumulate
at the underbody. Failure to remove these
substances will accelerate corrosion and
rusting.
Flush the underbody with clean water
regularly. Clean the part where the mud is
prone to accumulate carefully. Loosen the
accumulated dirt in the enclosed area before
flushing with water.
When necessary, please contact the MG
Authorised Service Center for service.
