qAluminum Wheel Maintenance

A protective coating is provided over the

aluminum wheels. Special care is needed

to protect this coating.

CAUTION

Do not use any detergent other than

a mild detergent. Otherwise, the

aluminum wheels can be stained or

discolored. Check the ingredients

when using various kinds of cleaners.

NOTE

l

Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive

cleaner, polishing compound, or solvent on

aluminum wheels. They may damage the

coating.

l

Always use a sponge or soft cloth to clean

the wheels.

Rinse the wheels thoroughly with lukewarm

or cold water. Also, be sure to clean the

wheels after driving on dusty or salted

roads to help prevent corrosion.

l

Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic

car wash that uses high-speed or hard

brushes.

l

If your aluminum wheels lose luster, wax

the wheels.

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

Check special requirements for Tire Pressure

Monitoring System.

Refer to Tires and Wheels on page 5-34.

qPlastic Part Maintenance

l

When cleaning the plastic lenses of the

lights, do not use gasoline, kerose ne,

rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly

acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline

detergents. Otherwise, these chemical

agents can discolor or damage the

surfaces resulting in a significant loss

in functionality. If plastic parts become

inadvertently exposed to any of these

chemical agents, flush with water

immediately.

l

If plastic parts such as the bumpers

become inadvertently exposed to

chemical agents or fluids such as

gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery

fluid, it could cause discoloration,

staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any

such chemical agents or fluids using a

soft clot h immediately.

l

High water temperature and high water

pressure car washers are available

depending on the type of high pressure

car washer device. If the car washer

nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or

aimed at one area for an extended

period of time, it could deform plastic

parts or damage the paint.

l

Do not use wax containing compounds

(polish). Otherwise, it could result in

paint damage.

l

In addition, do not use an electrical or

air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the

frictional heat generated could result in

deformation of plastic parts or paint

damage.
