Rust prevention
We at Perodua have been producing high­
quality vehicles with advanced rust preven­
tive design and construction.
Nevertheless, this constitutes merely part of
a total rust preventive quality for a long
period of a time, it is important for you to
understand how to do your part.
WARNING
Do not coat the exhaust system com­
ponents with additional rust preven­
tive materials. This could overheat and
cause a fire.
Cause of rust formation
The following are usual causes of rust:
• Salt on roads and salt air.
• Dirt and water.
• Chips, nicks, scratches, and dents that
expose bare metal.
• Chemical substances and industrial pol­
lutant.
Rust preventive measures
Keep your Perodua clean;
If you live in the area where rust formation is
prone to occur, such as where salt is sprin­
kled on roads, 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 in winter.
Upon completion of winter, thoroughly clean
it again.
Clean the fenders and other parts hidden
from you.
Wash away mud thoroughly as wet mud
could promote rust formation. High-pres­
sure steam cleaning will be effective.
When cleaning the under-side of the doors,
rocker panels, frame members, and so forth,
make sure the water drain holes are not
clogged.
