Underbody The underbody is frequently exposed to corro-
sive substances such as those used on icy roads or to control
dust
It is very impOrtant to remove these substances, other-
wise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and
around
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the
underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain water,
being careful to clean those
areas where mud and dirt can
easily accumulate.
