tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other
defects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from the underbody to avoid overheating and pos-
sible damage to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.
