Chrome parts

To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash
with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a nonabrasive
automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or
pitted use a commercially available chrome polish.

Aluminum wheels (if so equipped)

A protective coating is provided over aluminum wheels.
Clean aluminum wheels with a cleaner designed for use
on aluminum and apply an appropriate protection agent.

CAUTION!

Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Brushes may damage the aluminum wheel sur-

face. Be sure to use a sponge, chamois, etc.

Do not apply hot water directly from a steam

cleaner to the wheel surface.

Wheels exposed to sea water or road chemicals

should be cleaned as soon as possible.

Window glass

The window glass can be cleaned using only a sponge
and water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove wax, oil,
grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe
dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.

Wiper blades

Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease, dead
insects, etc., from the wiper blades.
Replace the wiper blades when they no longer clean the
windshield properly.

Cleaning the sunroof (if so equipped)

Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft cloth. Hard
deposits should be wiped away with a cloth dipped in
warm, neutral detergent solution. Wipe away the solu-
tion with a sponge dipped in fresh water.

NOTE

: The surface treatment on the inside of the glass

may be removed if a hard cloth or organic solvent is used.

Engine compartment
