Appearance Care - Pontiac Aztek 2003 Owner's Manual

All-Wheel Drive
After installing a compact spare tire on a vehicle with
all-wheel drive you will need to drive with light to
moderate acceleration, for 10 seconds, in a straight line.
This action will allow the vehicle to detect the compact
spare tire and disable the all-wheel drive system.
The AWD DISABLE message will come on indicating
that the all-wheel drive system is off. You may detect a
slight pull during this time, but this is normal.
Notice: You may damage your vehicle's all-wheel
drive system if your vehicle is driven for an
extended period with a compact spare tire installed
and the all-wheel drive system in operation. See
"All-Wheel Drive System" and "AWD Disable
Warning Message" in the Index for more
information.

Appearance Care

Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some
are toxic. Others can burst into flames if you strike a
match or get them on a hot part of the vehicle. Some are
dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed
space. When you use anything from a container to clean
your vehicle, be sure to follow the manufacturer's
warnings and instructions. And always open your doors
or windows when you're cleaning the inside.
Never use these to clean your vehicle:
•
Gasoline
•
Benzene
•
Naphtha
•
Carbon Tetrachloride
•
Acetone
•
Paint Thinner
•
Turpentine
•
Lacquer Thinner
•
Nail Polish Remover
They can all be hazardous – some more than
others – and they can all damage your vehicle, too.
Don't use any of these unless this manual says you can.
In many uses, these will damage your vehicle:
•
Alcohol
•
Laundry Soap
•
Bleach
•
Reducing Agents
