Heat Shield: Description and Operation

The heat shields are aluminum; they prevent exhaust system heat from penetrating the floor of the vehicle or the fuel tank. Inspect the shields for cracks,
tears, and missing rivets. Shields must always be re-installed if they are removed for exhaust system or body repairs. The rivet shown in view C is unique
and must always be replaced with the same type of fasteners to prevent vehicle damage.
