Maintenance
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels  are coated with  a
clear protective finish.
•  Do not  use any  abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing   compound,   solvent,   or   wire
brushes  on   aluminum  wheels.  They
may scratch or damage the finish.
Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
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.
By using the  most advanced design and
construction  practices to  combat  corro-
sion,  we  produce   cars  of  the  highest
quality. However,  this is  only part  of the
job. To  achieve  the long-term  corrosion
resistance  your vehicle  can  deliver, the
owner's  cooperation  and  assistance  is
also required.
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.
Common causes of corrosion
Avoid  washing  the wheels  with  high-
speed car wash brushes.
Do  not  use  any  cleaners  containing
acid or acid detergents. It may damage
and   corrode   the  aluminum   wheels
coated with a clear protective finish.
The most  common  causes of  corrosion
on your car are:
•  Road  salt,  dirt   and  moisture  that  is
allowed to accumulate  underneath the
car.
Removal of paint or protective coatings
by  stones,  gravel,  abrasion  or  minor
scrapes and dents  which leave unpro-
tected metal exposed to corrosion.
