Underbody maintenance
WARNING
Aluminum wheel maintenance
Corrosive  materials   used  for   ice  and
snow removal  and dust control may  col-
lect on the  underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated rusting can
occur  on underbody  parts  such  as  the
fuel lines,  frame,  floor pan  and exhaust
system,  even   though  they  have   been
treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush  the  vehicle underbody
and  wheel  openings  with  lukewarm  or
cold water  once  a month,  after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter. Pay
special attention to these areas because
it is difficult to see all  the mud and dirt. It
will do more harm than good to wet down
the road  grime without  removing it.  The
lower edges of  the doors, rocker panels,
and  frame  members  have  drain   holes
that  should not  be allowed  to  clog with
dirt;  trapped  water  in  these  areas  can
cause rusting.
After washing  the vehicle,  test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking  performance  is   impaired,
dry  the  brakes  by  applying  them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
The aluminum wheels  are coated with  a
clear protective finish.
•  Do not  use any  abrasive cleaner, pol-
ishing   compound,   solvent,   or   wire
brushes  on   aluminum  wheels.  They
may scratch or damage the finish.
Use  only mild  soap  or  neutral  deter-
gent, and  rinse thoroughly  with water.
Also, be sure to clean the  wheels after
driving on salted roads. This helps pre-
vent corrosion.
Avoid  washing  the wheels  with  high-
speed car wash brushes.
Do  not  use  any  cleaners  containing
acid or acid detergents. It may damage
and   corrode   the  aluminum   wheels
coated with a clear protective finish.
