Cleaning Running Boards
We recommend that you clean your
running boards in the following way:
1. Use a clean, soft, non-abrasive sponge
or brush to remove heavy deposits of
dirt.
2. Allow the cleaner to sit on the running
board surface for the time specified.
Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
3. For additional information and
assistance, contact an authorized
dealer.
Note: Do not leave the cleaner on longer
than the recommended wait time. This
could damage the running boards.
Note: Do not allow the cleaner to dry unless
instructed.
Note: Some car washes could damage the
running boards.
Note: Using non-recommended cleaners,
harsh cleaning products, chrome wheel
cleaners or abrasive materials could
damage the running boards.

spark plug wire or spark plug well.
