formation, deterioration or loose connec-
tions.
Underbody:
The underbody is frequently
exposed to corrosive substances such as
those used on icy roads or to control
dust. It is very important to remove these
substances, otherwise rust will form on
the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and
around the exhaust system. At the end of
winter, the underbody should be thor-
oughly flushed with plain water, being
careful to clean those areas where mud
and dirt may accumulate. For additional
information, see “Cleaning exterior” in
the “7. Appearance and care” section.
Window washer fluid*:
Check that there is
adequate fluid in the tank.
