Maintenance and Care

Appearance Care

Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F

▼

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.

It

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.

▼

Aluminum Wheel Maintenance

A protective coating is provided over the

aluminum wheels. Special care is needed

to protect this coating.

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.

NOTE

•

Don’t use a wire brush or any

abrasive cleaner, polishing

compound, or solvent on aluminum

wheels. They may damage the

coating.

•

Only use a mild soap or neutral

detergent and always use a sponge

or soft cloth to clean the wheels.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or

cold water. Also, be sure to clean

the wheels after driving on dusty or

salted roads. This helps prevent

corrosion.

•

Avoid washing your vehicle in an

automatic car wash that uses high-

speed or hard brushes.

•

If your aluminum wheels lose

luster, wax the wheels.
