APPEARANCE CARE

EXTERIOR CARE
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the factory
using a high quality lock cylinder grease.
Use de-icing agent only when absolutely
necessary, as this has a degreasing effect
and impairs lock function. After using
de-icing agent, have the locks regreased
by a CHEVROLET retailer.
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic vehicle washes,
select a programme that includes wax-
ing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint dam-
age.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with the
vehicle wash manufacturer's instruc-
tions. The windscreen wipers must be
switched off. Remove antenna and exter-
nal accessories such as roof racks etc.
If you use the auto car washer when the
vehicle is unlocked, fuel filler flap might
be open and it can be damaged during the
auto car washer.
Make sure to lock the fuel filler flap by
using the central locking button.
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wheel hous-
ings are also thoroughly rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and the bonnet as well as the areas they
cover.
Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with pH
value of 4 to 9. Do not use cleaning
agents on hot surfaces.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a CHEVROLET retailer.
Do not clean the engine compartment
with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
