Start theengine usingthefollowing procedure:
1. Remove anyitems thatmay becausing the
interference awayfromtheNATS key.
2. Leave theignition switchinthe ªONº position for
approximately 5seconds.
3. Place theignition switchinthe ªOFFº orªLOCKº

releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from

GUID-55FEE ED2-A1C3-4B27-A550-4 BBB7C8BF9E6
. The accumulation ofmoisture-retaining dirtand
debris inbody panel sections, cavities,andother
areas.
. Damage tothe paint surface andother protective
coatings causedbygravel andstone chipsor
minor traffic accidents.

RA TE OF CORROSION
GUID-4D36D3 87-64CA-4EA3-9221-16 9D30C6EC41
Moisture
GUID-6F642 1FF-23F2-4A51-AC98-F 8467A5769E8
The accumulation ofsand, dirtand water onthe inside
floor ofthe vehicle canaccelerate corrosion.Wet floor
carpet/floor matswillnotdrycompletely insidethe
vehicle. Theyshould beremoved andcompletely dried
to avoid floorpanel corrosion.
Relative humidity
GUID-C51 023EB-DA4 E-4AAD-B64 6-D10FD396 0B66
Corrosion willbeaccelerated inareas ofhigh relative
humidity .
T emperature
GUID-084 19ED2-3D0 9-4F9D-9B3 6-E32282165145
High temperatures acceleratetherate ofcorrosion to
those partswhich arenot well ventilated.
Corrosion willalso beaccelerated inareas where the
temperatures stayabove freezing.
Air pollution
GUID-413 0D607-993 9-412C-83E 9-6FC9F3EC20 D9
Industrial pollution, thepresence ofsalt inthe airin
coastal areas,orheavy roadsaltuse accelerates the
corrosion process.Roadsaltalso accelerates the
disintegration ofpaint surfaces.
T O PRO TECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION
GUID-77 A08170-1F EB-45EA-BDB 9-316B61A611C0
. Wash and wax your vehicle oftentokeep the
vehicle clean.
. Always checkforminor damage tothe paint
surface andifany exists, repairitas soon as
possible.
. Keep thedrain holes inthe lower edgeofthe
doors opentoavoid water accumulation.
. Check thevehicle underbody foraccumulation of
sand, dirtorsalt. Ifpresent, washwithwater as
soon aspossible.
CAUTION:
. Never remove dirt,sand orother debris from
the passenger compartment bywashing it
out with ahose. Remove dirtwith avacuum
cleaner.
. Never allowwater orother liquids tocome in
contact withelectronic components inside
the vehicle asthis may damage them.
Chemicals usedforroad surface deicingareextremely
corrosive. Theyaccelerate corrosionanddeterioration
of underbody components suchasthe exhaust system,
fuel and brake lines,brake cables, floorpanand
fenders.
In the winter, theunderbody mustbecleaned
periodically.
