2008 Kia Amanti Owners Manual

Maintenance
Underbody maintenance
Aluminum wheel maintenance  
The aluminum  wheels are  coated with  a
clear protective  finish.
WARNING
Corrosive   materials   used  for   ice  and
snow removal  and dust  control may  col-
lect on  the underbody. If these  materials
are not removed, accelerated rusting  can
occur  on  underbody  parts  such  as  the
fuel  lines, frame,  floor  pan and  exhaust
system,   even  though  they   have  been
treated with rust  protection.
Thoroughly  flush  the vehicle  underbody
and  wheel  openings   with  lukewarm  or
cold  water once  a  month, after  off-road
driving and at the end of each winter. Pay
special attention  to these areas because
it is difficult  to see all the 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  allowed  to  clog with  dirt;
trapped water  in these  areas can  cause
rusting.
After  washing  the vehicle,  test  the
brakes while drivingslowly   tosee  if
they have been  affected by water. If
braking   performance  is   impaired,
dry  the   brakes  by  applying   them
lightly while maintaining  aslow  for-
wardspeed.
Do not  use any  abrasive cleaner,  pol-
ishing   compound,    solvent,   or   wire
brushes   on  aluminum   wheels.  They
may scratch or  damage the finish.
Use only  a mild soap  or neutral deter-
gent, and  rinse  thoroughly with  water.
Also, be sure to  clean the wheels  after
driving on salted roads. This helps  pre-
vent corrosion.
Avoid  washing  the  wheels  with  high-
speed car wash  brushes.
Do not  use any  acid detergent. It  may
damage   and  corrode   the   aluminum
wheels  coated  with a  clear  protective
finish.
