CORROSION PROTECTION

A phosphate coating treatment and a cationic electrodeposition
primer, which provide excellent corrosion protection, are applied to
all body components.

CAUTION:

Confine paint removal during welding operation to an absolute
minimum.

NISSAN genuine parts are also treated in the same manner. Therefore, it is recommended that NISSAN gen-
uine parts or an equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain anti-corrosive performance built into the
vehicle at the factory.

4WD : Anti-corrosive Wax

INFOID:0000000010305298

To improve corrosion resistance, anti-corrosive wax is applied inside the body sill and inside other closed sec-
tions. Accordingly, when replacing these parts, be sure to apply anti-corrosive wax to the appropriate areas of
the new parts. Select an excellent anti-corrosive wax which will penetrate after application and has a long shelf
life.

4WD : Undercoating

INFOID:0000000010305295

The underside of the floor and wheelhouse are undercoated to prevent rust, vibration, noise and stone chip-
ping. Therefore, when such a panel is replaced or repaired, apply undercoating to that part. Use an undercoat-
ing which is rust resistant, soundproof, vibration-proof, shock-resistant, adhesive, and durable.

Precautions in Undercoating

1.

Never apply undercoating to any place unless specified (such as the areas above the muffler and three
way catalyst that are subjected to heat).

2.

Never undercoat the exhaust pipe or other parts that become hot.

3.

Never undercoat rotating parts.

4.

Apply bitumen wax after applying undercoating.

5.

After putting seal on the vehicle, put undercoating on it.

4WD : Stone Guard Coat

INFOID:0000000010305296

To prevent damage caused by stones, the lower outer body panel (fender, door, etc.) have an additional layer
of Stone Guard Coating over the ED primer coating. When replacing or repairing these panels, apply Stone
Guard coating to the same portions as before. Use a coating which is rust preventive, durable, shock-resistant
and has a long shelf life.

4WD : Body Sealing

INFOID:0000000010305297

The following figure shows the areas that are sealed at the factory. Sealant that is applied to these areas
should be smooth and free from cuts or gaps. Care should be taken not to apply an excess amount of sealant
and not to allow other unaffected parts to come into contact with the sealant.
