1. A scraper and stiff-bristled
brush to remove ice and
snow from the windows.
2. A sturdy, flat board to be
placed under the jack to give
it firm support.

CORROSION PROTECTION
Chemicals used for road surface
de-icing are extremely corrosive
and will accelerate corrosion and
the deterioration of underbody
components such as the exhaust
system, fuel and brake lines,
brake cables, floor pan and
fenders.
In winter, the underbody must
be cleaned periodically. For more
detailed information concerning
cleaning the exterior to protect it
from corrosion, please refer to the
“Appearance and interior care” of
this Manual.
For
additional
protection
against rust and corrosion, which
may be required in some areas,
consult your local PARSKHODRO
dealer.
