Rust proofing a 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

Topic starter

Hi my 2019 RAV4 Hybrid had an issue with the hybrid system  and It just wouldn't start so I got it towed to the dealership and they said that the rear motor's connectors have got rust on them and luckily it will be covered under warranty and replaced, the car only has 106K KMs or about 61K miles . I live in London, Ontario and it snows pretty heavily in the winter times. Would rustproofing help? I have read online that you should not rust proof a hybrid car. What can I do to prevent this happening again on my RAV4, other than getting a gas RAV4. 

 

Thank you

fill the connector (and any other exposed ones) with dielectric grease.
