Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
10.3.3. 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 surface and if any exists, repair it as soon as possible.
Keep the drain holes in the lower edge of the doors open to avoid water accumulation.
Check the vehicle underbody for accumulation of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with water as soon as possible.
Never remove dirt, sand or other debris from the passenger compartment by washing it out with a hose. Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner or broom.
Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electronic components 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 exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders.
In the winter, the underbody must be cleaned periodically.
For additional protection against rust and corrosion, which may be required in some areas, consult a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
