from industrial chimneys and other
foreign matter may damage vehicle
finishes if left on painted surfaces.
Prompt washing may not completely
remove all of these deposits. Other
cleaners may be needed. When
using chemical cleaners, be sure
they are safe for use on painted
surfaces.
Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be
repaired promptly. Bare metal will
corrode quickly and may develop
into major repair expense. Minor
chips and scratches can be repaired
with touch up materials available
from your authorized dealer or other
service outlets. Larger areas of
finish damage can be corrected in
your dealer's body and paint shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal, and dust control can
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on underbody parts such as
fuel lines, frames, floor pan and
exhaust system even though they
have been provided with corrosion
protection.
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with
plain water. Take care to clean well
any areas where mud and other
debris can collect. Sediment packed
in closed areas of the frame should
be loosened before being flushed.
If desired, your authorized dealer
can do this for you.
Interior Care
General
Remove dust and dirt from the
interior of the cab using an
automotive cleaner or vacuum
cleaner, and gently wipe surfaces
clean using a cloth wet with warm or
cold water.

Warning
Water should never be sprayed
directly into the interior of the cab
when cleaning. Failure to observe
this precaution can lead to vehicle
malfunction and possibly to fire if
water should enter the audio
system or other electrical
components located underneath
the floor carpet.
Petroleum ether, gasoline and
other organic solvents should not
be used to clean safety belts. In
addition, safety belt webbing
should be neither bleached nor
redyed. Failure to observe these
precautions can lead to the
performance or strength of the
safety belts being impaired. In the
case of a collision, therefore, the
safety belts could be insufficiently
effective, and serious
life-threatening injuries could
result. When cleaning, use warm
water in which a small amount of
