Maintenance and Care

Appearance Care

Form No. 8Q42-EA-01F

▼

Bright-Metal Maintenance

•

Use tar remover to remove road tar and

insects. Never do this with a knife or

similar tool.

•

To prevent corrosion on bright-metal

surfaces, apply wax or chrome

preservative and rub it to a high luster.

•

During cold weather or in coastal

areas, cover bright-metal parts with a

coating of wax or preservative heavier

than usual. It would also help to coat

them with noncorrosive petroleum jelly

or some other protective compound.

▼

Underbody Maintenance

Road chemicals and salt used for ice and

snow removal and solvents used for dust

control may collect on the underbody. If

not removed, they will speed up rusting

and deterioration of such underbody parts

as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust

system, even though these parts may be

coated with anti-corrosive material.

Thoroughly flush the underbody and

wheel housings with lukewarm or cold

water at the end of each winter. Try also to

do this every month.

Pay special attention to these areas

because they easily hide mud and dirt.

will do more harm than good to wet

down the road grime without removing

it.

The lower edges of doors, rocker panels,

and frame members have drain holes that

should not be clogged. Water trapped

there will cause rusting.

Don’t use steel wool, abrasive

cleaners, or strong detergents

containing highly alkaline or caustic

agents on chrome-plated or anodized

aluminum parts. This may result in

damage to the protective coating and

cause discoloration or paint

deterioration.

CAUTION

Driving with Wet Brakes:

Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.

Increased stopping distance or the

vehicle pulling to one side when

braking could result in a serious

accident. Light braking will indicate

whether the brakes have been

affected. Dry the brakes by driving

very slowly and applying the brakes

lightly until brake performance is

normal.
