Cleaning Aluminum Wheels

(If Equipped)

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 polish

on aluminum wheels.

Don’t take your vehicle through an automatic car wash

that has silicon carbide tire cleaning brushes. These

brushes can also damage the surface of these wheels.

Cleaning Tires

To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a 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.

Sheet Metal Damage

If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal

repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop

applies anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired or

replaced to restore corrosion protection.

Original manufacturer replacement parts will provide

the corrosion protection while maintaining the warranty.
