CORROSION PROTECTION Engine block heater 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" section of this Manual. For additional protection against rust and corrosion, which may be required in some areas, consult your local NISSAN dealer. Do not use your heater with an ungrounded electrical system or twopronged (cheater) adapters. You can be injured by an electrical shock if you use an ungrounded connection. 4-27
