MG Motor vehicles are designed to have anti-
corrosion capabilities. The use of special
materials and protective paint on most vehicle
parts helps maintain satisfactory appearance,
strength and reliability.
Although the surfaces of certain parts inside
the engine compartment or of the underbody
may rust, the reliability or performance of
these parts will not be affected.

If the body needs to be repaired or replaced,
ensure that the repair shop uses proper anti-
corrosion materials to restore the anti-

Foreign Matter Deposition
The following substances may damage the
paint surface:
Ÿ Calcium chloride and other salts
Ÿ Ice melting agent
Ÿ Road surface oil and asphalt
Ÿ Sap
Ÿ Bird droppings
