Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: 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.

- Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.

For additional protection against rust and corrosion, which may be required in some areas, consult a NISSAN dealer.
