Subaru Outback (BR): 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 fenders with lukewarm or cold water at frequent
intervals to reduce the harmful effects of such agents.
Mud and sand adhering to the underbody components may accelerate their corrosion.
After driving off-road or on muddy or sandy roads, wash the mud and sand off the
underbody.
Carefully flush the suspension and axle parts, as they are particularly prone
to mud and sand buildup. Do not use a sharp-edged tool to remove caked mud.
CAUTION
● Be careful not to damage brake hoses, sensor harnesses, and other parts when
washing suspension components.
● Be careful not to flush the engine bottom for a long time. It may cause damage
of some electrical parts.
