APPEARANCE CARE
EXTERIOR CARE
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the factory
using a high quality lock cylinder grease.
Use de-icing agent only when absolutely
necessary, as this has a degreasing effect
and impairs lock function. After using
de-icing agent, have the locks regreased
by a CHEVROLET retailer.
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic vehicle washes,
select a programme that includes wax-
ing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pol-
len and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint dam-
age.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with the
vehicle wash manufacturer's instruc-
tions. The windscreen wipers must be
switched off. Remove antenna and exter-
nal accessories such as roof racks etc.
