Caution
Avoid prolonged exposure to vapors of
cleaners and other chemicals. These
vapors are hazardous and harmful to
health, especially in restricted and poorly
ventilated spaces.
Vehicle Washing
The best way to maintain the finish paint of
a vehicle is to wash it regularly and keep it
clean.
Park the vehicle where it is not directly
exposed to sunlight.
Wash the vehicle with the specified
neutral soap liquid and cold or warm
water.
Be sure to remove the soap liquid and
cleaning agent from the surface by
flushing.
General Motors vehicles are designed to
operate under normal environmental
conditions and natural factors.
Do not use household dish washing
detergent to wash the vehicle. The dish
washing detergent can wash off paint
and wax.
Avoid excessive vehicle washing pressure.
Water may enter the vehicle and damage
the interior.
Polishing and Waxing
Regular polishing can remove residue from
the surface of the vehicle. After polishing,
use high-quality car wax for protection.
Do not clean or polish aluminum trim with
automotive or chrome polishing agent,
steam, or alkaline soap liquids. These
substances are abrasive and may damage
trim and wheels.
Exterior Bright Metal Parts Protection
Clean the bright metal trim regularly. It is
usually washed with water. When waxing
the vehicle, also wax these bright metal
parts.
Aluminum Wheels and Wheel Trim Cover
Cleaning
To maintain the original appearance of the
wheel and wheel trim cover (if any), do not
allow them to collect dust or brake dust.
Vehicle Care
Clean the wheel/wheel trim cover regularly.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agent or
brushes that may damage the finish paint.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or a
brush to clean aluminum wheels or wheel
trim covers.
Front Windshield Outside Cleaning
Waxes or other materials on the front
windshield and blade may cause the blade
to shake when working. Moreover, such
foreign matters are not conducive to
keeping the front windshield clean. Clean
the outside of the front windshield regularly
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent.
Water does not form water droplets on the
clean front windshield.
Corrosion Prevention
General Motors vehicles are designed to
have anti-corrosion capabilities. The use of
special materials and protective paint on
most vehicle parts helps maintain
satisfactory appearance, strength and
reliability.
