Increasingly aggressive environmental influences in recent years have added to the significance of corrosion protection.  

Customers expect their vehicles to be provided as standard with high-quality, long-lasting corrosion protection.  

This in turn promotes continuous improvement in production, such as:  

•  Increased use of sheet metal galvanised on both sides.  

•  Additional PVC sill protection in vehicles without panelling in the sill area.  

•  Cavity protective wax in the entire underbody area.  

•  Cavity protective wax for all frame side members and crossmembers.  

This section contains a description of the typical procedure for corrosion protection in series production and is followed by explanations of the individual steps.  

The details of the individual steps may vary from one production site to another.
