290 Vehicle Care
Never use an automatic vehicle
wash that requires anything
touching the paint (other than
water).
The wipers must be switched off.
Remove the antenna and external
accessories.
Never use the automatic vehicle
wash when the vehicle is unlocked,
the fuel filter door might be opened
and damage by the automatic
vehicle wash.
Make sure to lock the fuel filler door
by pushing the central locking
button.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a Chevrolet dealer.
Caution
Do not clean the engine
compartment with a steam-jet or
high-pressure jet cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and chamois-off
the vehicle. Rinse chamois
frequently. Use separate chamois
for painted and glass surfaces:
remnants of wax on the windows
will impair vision.
Do not use hard objects to remove
spots of tar. Use tar removal spray
on painted surfaces.
Caution
Take care when moving the
vehicle after washing, in case
water has affected the brakes.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected. To dry them quickly,
lightly apply the brakes while
maintaining a slow forward speed
with a clear area ahead until
brake performance returns to
normal.
High pressure car washes may
cause water to enter the vehicle.
Avoid using high pressure washes
closer than 30 cm to the surface of
the vehicle. Use of power washers
exceeding 8.000 kPa can result in
damage or removal of paint and
decals.
Exterior Lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive or caustic agents, an ice
scraper, and do not clean them dry.
Air Intakes
Clear debris from the air intakes,
between the hood and windscreen
and below the front bumper.
Polishing and Waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will
dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
