12-92 Simple inspection and service
• There are ABS electric wiring located behind
the wheels. When removing snow or ice hav-
ing adhered to the wheel areas after driving
on snow-covered roads, be careful not to
damage the ABS components and wiring.
Also, avoid exposing the ABS components
and wiring to high-pressure water or cleaner
steam as the system could be damaged and
not operate properly.
1.3 Waxing
Wax the vehicle once or twice a month or whenever
the wax on the vehicle ceases to repel water.
Apply wax out of direct sunlight and only when the
vehicle’s paintwork is cooler than human body tem-
perature.
1.4 Dirt caked on paintwork
The following contaminants can cause corrosion,
discoloration, or staining of the vehicle if not
washed off: calcium chloride and other salts; road
chemicals, oil; tar; tree sap; bird droppings; and
industrial soot.
If you cannot easily clean off these contaminants,
use a synthetic cleaner that does not scratch or oth-
erwise damage painted surfaces.
1.5 Small chips and scratches
Chips, cracks, and scratches caused by grit thrown
up off the road should be fixed as soon as possible.
If the body metal is visible, corrosion will quickly set
in and require expensive treatment. Your dealer can
supply touch-up paint for small chips and scratches.
