TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE
FROM CORROSION
• Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the
vehicle clean.
• Always check for minor damage to the paint and
repair it as soon as possible.
• Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors
open to avoid water accumulation.
• Check the underbody for accumulation of sand,
dirt or salt. If present, wash with water as soon
as possible.
CAUTION
• NEVER remove dirt, sand or other de-
bris from the passenger compartment
by washing it out with a hose. Remove
dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
• Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electronic com-
ponents inside the vehicle as this may
damage them.
Chemicals used for road surface deicing are
extremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion
and deterioration of underbody components
such as the brake lines, brake cables, floor pan
and fenders.
In winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically.
For additional protection against rust and corro-
sion, which may be required in some areas, con-
sult a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
