Bright-metal maintenance
WARNING
Use a tar  remover to remove  road
tar  and  insects,   not  scraping  or
using a sharp object.
After  washing the  vehicle,  test
the  brakes  by  slowly  applying
them to check whether  they are
affected by water.When  braking
performance   is  impaired,   dry
the  brakes  by  lightly  applying
them while  driving forward at  a
slow speed.
To  protect  a bright  metal  surface
from corrosion, apply a coat of wax
or  chrome preservative,  or  polish
the surface.
In winter or in  coastal areas, apply
a  bright  metal  part  with  a heavy
coat of wax or preservative. If  nec-
essary, coat the  part with non-cor-
rosive petroleum jelly or  other pro-     Aluminum wheel maintenance
tective compound.
The  aluminum   wheels  are  coated
with a clear protective finish.
Underbody maintenance
•  Do not  use  any abrasive  cleaner,
polishing   compound,  solvent,   or
wire brushes on aluminum wheels.
They  may scratch  or damage  the
finish.
Corrosive materials,  which are used
to  remove ice,  snow  or  dusts, may
accumulate
across
the
vehicle
underbody.  When   these  materials
are  not  promptly   removed,  rusting
process  may accelerate  across  the
underbody,  such  as  the  fuel  lines,
frame, floor pan and exhaust system,
regardless   of   the   rust-protection
treatment.
•  Clean the wheel, while it is cool.
Use  only  a  mild  soap  or  neutral
detergent,   and  thoroughly   rinse
with water.  Also, always  clean the
wheels  after  driving  on   a  salted
road. This prevents corrosion.
Thoroughly wash  the vehicle  under-
body and  wheel openings with luke-
warm  or cold  water  once  a month,
after driving  off  a road,  or after  the
winter season. Pay  special attention
to  the underbody  areas  to find  any
mud  or dirt.  Remaining road  dirt  or
grime across  the vehicle  underbody
does  more   harm  than   good.  The
lower edges of doors,  rocker panels,
and   frame   members   have   drain
holes, which  should not  be clogged
with dirt; clogging in these areas may
cause rusting.
Avoid washing  the wheels with  an
high-speed    washing
automatic
brush.
Do  not  use  any  alkaline  or  acid
detergent. It may damage and cor-
rode the  aluminum wheels  coated
with a clear protective finish.
