Underbody maintenance
Cleaning & Vehicle Care
Corrosive materials used for snow and ice
removal and dust control can collect on
underbody parts. If these materials are not
removed, accelerated rusting can occur. Use a
hose to regularly flush the underbody with plain
water, taking particular care to thoroughly clean
those areas where mud and other debris can
easily collect.
Similarly, after off-road driving or wading in
muddy or salt water conditions, use a hose to
wash underbody components and other
exposed parts of the vehicle.

CAUTION: Read individual product warnings
before using any car cleaning or washing
products..
When using a hose, do not direct the jet into the
heater air intake ducts, or through the wheel
trim apertures onto the brake components, or
at the door, window or sunroof seals, where
water pressure could penetrate the seals.
CAUTION: Some high pressure cleaning
systems are sufficiently powerful to penetrate
door and window seals and damage rubbing
strips and locking mechanisms. Never aim the
water jet directly at heater air intakes, body and
sunroof seals, or at any components that might
easily be damaged.
If damage or corrosion to the underbody area is
detected, please have the vehicle checked by a
retailer at the earliest opportunity.

Wash your vehicle frequently using a sponge
and generous quantities of cold or slightly
warm water containing a car shampoo. Rinse

compartment, cover the power steering and
brake fluid reservoirs to prevent contamination
of fluid. After steam cleaning carefully re-wax
the metallic components, especially the
steering column, engine coolant pipes, hose
clips and the ignition coil clamp, to prevent
corrosion - if necessary contact your Land
Rover retailer for advice.
