Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: To protect your vehicle from corrosion
- Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep the vehicle clean.

- 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.
