Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Owner’s Manual & User Guide: Corrosion protection

Most common factors contributing to vehicle corrosion

• Moisture-retaining dirt and debris build-up inside body cavities or seams.
• Paint or coating damage caused by gravel, small stones or minor collisions.

Environmental factors influencing corrosion rate

Moisture

Sand, dirt and water accumulation on the underside of your Nissan Rogue can accelerate corrosion. Wet floor carpeting should be removed and dried fully.

Relative humidity

Corrosion develops faster in humid climates, especially where temperatures stay above freezing or where road salt is used.

Temperature

Higher temperatures increase corrosion speed in poorly ventilated areas.

Air pollution

Industrial pollution, coastal salt air or heavy use of road salt will accelerate corrosion of metal surfaces.

Road salt can also cause faster deterioration of painted areas.

To protect your vehicle from corrosion

• Wash and wax the Nissan Rogue regularly to remove contaminants.
• Repair minor paint damage as soon as possible.
• Keep drain holes at the bottom of the doors clear.
• Inspect the underbody for dirt or salt buildup and wash promptly if present.

CAUTION

• NEVER wash the interior with a hose — remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with electronic components inside the vehicle.

De-icing chemicals used on roads are extremely corrosive and will accelerate deterioration of underbody parts such as brake lines, exhaust system, floor panels and suspension components.

During winter, the underbody should be cleaned regularly.

For additional corrosion protection where needed, consult a NISSAN dealer.
