Windshield
and
Wiroer
I-

BIades
If the windshield
is
not clear after using the windshield
washer, or
if
the wiper blade chatters when running,
wax, sap or other material may be on the blade or
windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a full-strength
glass cleaning liquid. The windshield is clean
if
beads do
not form when you rinse it with water.
Grime from the windshield will stick to the wiper blades
and affect their performance. Clean the blade by
wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked
in
full-strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade
with water.
Check the wiper blades and clean them as necessary;
replace blades that look worn.
Aluminum or Chrome-Plated Wheels
Your vehicle may be equipped with either aluminum or
chrome-plated wheels.
Keep your wheels clean using a soft clean cloth with
mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After
rinsing thoroughly,
dry
with a soft clean towel. A wax
may then be applied.
The surface of these wheels is similar
to
the
painted
surface
of
your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners,
cleaners with acid, or abrasive cleaning brushes on
them because you could damage the surface.
Do
not
use chrome poiish on aiuminum wheels.
Use
chrome polish only on chrome-plated wheels, but
avoid any painted surface of the wheel, and buff
off
immediately after application.
Don’t take your vehicle through an automatic car wash
that has silicone carbide tire cleaning brushes. These
brushes can also damage the sutface
of
these wheels.
Tires
To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with tire cleaner.
Notice:
When applying a tire dressing, always take
care to wipe
off
any overspray or splash from all
painted surfaces on the body
or
wheels
of
the
vehicle. Petroleum-based products may damage the
paint finish and tires.
If
your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal
repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop
applies anti-corrosion material to parts repaired or
replaced to restore corrosion protection.
Original manufacturer replacement parts will provide the
corrosion protection while maintaining the warranty.
