10-84 Vehicle Care

Wheels and Trim — Aluminum

or Chrome

Use a soft, clean cloth with mild

soap and water to clean the wheels.

After rinsing thoroughly with clean

water, dry with a soft, clean towel.

A wax may then be applied.

Keep the wheels clean using a soft,

clean cloth with mild soap and

water. Rinse with clean water. After

rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft,

clean towel. A wax may then be

applied.

Notice: Chrome wheels and other

chrome trim may be damaged if

the vehicle is not washed after

driving on roads that have been

sprayed with magnesium,

calcium, or sodium chloride.

These chlorides are used on

roads for conditions such as ice

and dust. Always wash the

chrome with soap and water after

exposure.

Notice: To avoid surface damage,

do not use strong soaps,

chemicals, abrasive polishes,

cleaners, brushes, or cleaners

that contain acid on aluminum or

chrome-plated wheels. Use only

approved cleaners. Also, never

drive a vehicle with aluminum or

chrome-plated wheels through an

automatic car wash that uses

silicone carbide tire cleaning

brushes. Damage could occur

and the repairs would not be

covered by the vehicle warranty.

Steering, Suspension, and

Chassis Components

Visually inspect front and rear

suspension and steering system for

damaged, loose, or missing parts or

signs of wear. Inspect the power

steering for proper hook-up, binding,

leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Visually

check constant velocity joints,

rubber boots, and axle seals for

leaks.

Body Component Lubrication

Lubricate all key lock cylinders,

hood hinges, liftgate hinges, and the

steel fuel door hinge unless the

components are plastic. Applying

silicone grease on weatherstrips

with a clean cloth will make them

last longer, seal better, and not stick

or squeak.

Underbody Maintenance

Use plain water to flush dirt and

debris from the vehicle's underbody.

Your dealer or an underbody car

washing system can do this. If not

removed, rust and corrosion can

develop.

Sheet Metal Damage

If the vehicle is damaged and

requires sheet metal repair or

replacement, make sure the body

repair shop applies anti-corrosion

material to parts repaired or

replaced to restore corrosion

protection.

Original manufacturer replacement

parts will provide the corrosion

protection while maintaining the

vehicle warranty.
