The underside of the vehicle is coated to protect it from corrosion and damage. The protective coating on the underside of the vehicle could be damaged when driving. Volkswagen therefore recommends that the protective coating on the underside of the vehicle and on the running gear should be checked regularly and repaired if necessary.
