UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter, the
underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will
prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing the acceleration of corrosion on the
underbody and suspension. Before the winter
period and again in the spring, the underseal
must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust
film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for
glass to become coated with a film after the
vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner
and a soft cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows, do
not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or
chlorine-based disinfectant cleaners. They
could damage the electrical conductors, radio
antenna elements or electric rear window
defroster elements.
CHROME PARTS
To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts,
wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a
nonabrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is
severely damaged or pitted, use a commercially
available chrome polish.
ALUMINUM WHEELS
1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.
2. Use a mild detergent on any dirt that cannot
be removed easily with water. Rinse off the
detergent after washing the wheels.
3. Dry the wheels thoroughly using a chamois
leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or
discoloring the wheels:
.
Do not use a brush or other hard imple-
ment on the wheels.
.
Do not use any cleaner that contains an
abrasive substance or is acidic or alkaline.
Doing so could cause the coating on the
wheels to peel or become discolored or
stained.
.
Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
.
Contact with seawater or road salt used for
de-icing can cause corrosion. Rinse off
such substances as soon as possible.
