Maintenance
Bright-metal maintenance
Underbody maintenance
Aluminum or chrome wheel mainte-
nance
The  aluminum   or  chrome  wheels   are
coated with a clear protective finish.
•  Do not  use any  abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing   compound,   solvent,   or   wire
brushes    on   aluminum   or   chrome
wheels. They may  scratch or  damage
the finish.
To remove road  tar and insects, use  a
tar  remover,  not  a   scraper  or  other
sharp object.
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.
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.
To protect the  surfaces of bright-metal
parts from corrosion, apply a coating of
wax or chrome preservative and rub to
a high luster.
During  winter  weather   or  in  coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts with
a heavier  coating of  wax or preserva-
tive. If  necessary,  coat the  parts  with
non-corrosive petroleum  jelly  or other
protective compound.
•  Clean the wheel when it  has cooled.
•  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 alkaline or  acid deter-
gent. It  may damage  and corrode  the
aluminum  or  chrome   wheels  coated
with a clear protective finish.
WARNING
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.
