MAINTENANCE
The effects of salt and other cor­
rosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and
dust control can
result
in accelerated rusting and
deterioration of underbody
com~
ponents such as brake and fuel
lines, frame, underbody floor pan,
exhaust system, ·brackets, parking
brake cables, etc. These
corrosive
effects, however, can be reduced
by periodic flushing of the under- .
body with
plait) water;
In geographic areas having 11
heavy concentration of such COr­
rosive materials , it is recommended
that the comple te underbody
be
inspected and flushed at least once
each year, preferably after a
win­
ter's exposure. Particular atten­
tion should be given to cleaning
out underbody members where dirt and
other foreign materials may
have collected.
If desired, your Chevrolet dealer
can perform this service for you.
In addition, he can provide recom­
mendations on under coating mate­
rials which will help protect your
vehicle from corrosion.
