Washing the underbody
Chemicals, salts and gravel used for deicing road surfaces are extremely corrosive,
accelerating the corrosion of underbody components, such as the exhaust system,
fuel and brake lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders, and suspension. Thoroughly
flush the underbody and inside of the fender
Measuring and adjusting air pressure to achieve proper inflation
Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of each tire (including the spare)
at least once a month and before any long journey. Check the tire pressures when
the tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the specific
values. Driving even a short distance warms up
