2000 HONDA S2000 ABS

Many corrosion-preventive measures
are built into your Honda.
You can
help keep your car from corroding
by performing some simple periodic
maintenance:
• Repair chips and scratches in the
paint as soon as you discover them.
• Inspect and clean out the drain
holes
in the bottom of the doors
and body.
• Check the floor coverings for
dampness. Carpeting and floor
mats may remain damp for a long
time, especially
in winter. This
dampness can eventually cause
the floor panels to corrode.
• Use a high-pressure spray to clean
the underside of your car. This is
especially important
in areas that
use road salt
in winter. It is also a
good idea
in humid climates and
areas subject to salt air. Be careful
of the
ABS wheel sensors and
wiring
at each wheel.
• Have the corrosion-preventive
coatings on the underside of your
car inspected and repaired
periodically.
Corrosion Protection
Appearance Care 209

All the electrical circuits in your car
have fuses to protect them from a
short circuit or overload.
These
fuses are located in three fuse boxes.
The interior fuse box is underneath
the dashboard on the driver's side.
Fuses
There are two under-hood fuse
boxes
in the engine compartment.
The main fuse box is located on the
passenger's side near the battery. To
open it, push the two tabs as shown.
