336 Vehicle Care
Use only approved cleaning solutions for
aluminum, chrome or stainless steel.
Some cleaners are highly acidic or contain
alkaline substances and can damage the
moldings.
Always dilute a concentrated cleaner
according to the manufacturer s
instructions.
Do not use cleaners that are not intended
for automotive use.
Use a nonabrasive wax on the vehicle
after washing to protect and extend the
molding finish.
Spray-In Bedliner Care
A spray-in bedliner is a permanent coating
that bonds to the truck bed and cannot be
removed. Promptly rinse the bedliner surface
following a chemical spill to avoid
permanent damage.
Spray-in bedliners can fade from oxidation,
road dirt, heavy-duty hauling, and hard
water stains. Clean it periodically by
washing off the loose dirt and using a mild
detergent. To restore the original
appearance, apply the bedliner conditioner
available through your dealer.
Caution
Using silicone-based products may
damage the bedliner, reduce the
slip-resistant texture, and attract dirt.
Cleaning Exterior Lamps/Lenses,
Emblems, Decals and Stripes
Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft
cloth, and a car washing soap to clean
exterior lamps, lenses, emblems, decals and
stripes. Follow instructions under "Washing
the Vehicle" previously in this section.
Lamp covers are made of plastic, and some
have a UV protective coating. Do not clean
or wipe them while they are dry.
Do not use any of the following on lamp
covers:
Abrasive or caustic agents.
Washer fluids and other cleaning agents
in higher concentrations than suggested
by the manufacturer.
Solvents, alcohols, fuels, or other harsh
cleaners.
Ice scrapers or other hard items.
Aftermarket appearance caps or covers
while the lamps are illuminated, due to
excessive heat generated.
Caution
Failure to clean lamps properly can cause
damage to the lamp cover that would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Caution
Using wax on low gloss black finish
stripes can increase the gloss level and
create a non-uniform finish. Clean low
gloss stripes with soap and water only.
Air Intakes
Clear debris from the air intakes, between
the hood and windshield, when washing the
vehicle.
