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 the  underbody  parts  such  as
the   fuel  lines,   frame,   floor   pan  and
exhaust system,  even though  they have
been treated with rust protection.
After washing  the vehicle,  test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking  performance  is   impaired,
dry  the  brakes  by  applying  them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
•  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.
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  the doors, rocker panels,
and  frame  members  have  drain   holes
that  should  not  clog  with  dirt;  trapped
water in these areas can cause rusting.
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.
