on the sheet metal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimized
metal overlap, and shielding plastic components, abrasion protection and supplemental
rust inhibitor in exposed areas. In the chassis, exposed components of the wheel
suspension are made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminum.
