If th e underbody panelling is damaged, 0am-
mable materials such as lea ves, grass or twigs
can collect between the underbody and the
underbody panelling. These materials may ignite if
they come into contact with hot parts
of theex haust system. #
Have theve hicle checked and repaired
immediately at a quali/ed specialist
