Underbody Protection

~1min read

The underbody of the vehicle is reliably protected against chemical and mechanical effects of the external environment.

At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that the protective coating may be damaged during operation for various reasons. In this regard, it is recommended to check its condition at least in autumn and spring and restore it if necessary.

Note for vehicles with catalytic converters.

Additional heat shields are installed around the catalytic converter to protect against high exhaust gas temperatures. Removing them or reducing the number of these shields is prohibited.

Any additional attachments in this area are not permitted.
