Exterior Care

Aluminium Wheels

(For some types)
Clean your vehicle's aluminium alloy
wheels as you do the rest of the
exterior. Wash them with the same
solution, and rinse them thoroughly.
The wheels have a protective clear-
coat that keeps the aluminium from
corroding and tarnishing. Using
harsh chemicals, including some
commercial wheel cleaners or stiff
brushes, can damage this clear-coat.
Only use a mild detergent and soft
brush or sponge to clean the wheels.

Appearance Care

Paint Touch-up

Your dealer has touch-up paint to
match your vehicle's colour. The
colour code is printed on a sticker on
the driver's doorjamb or a plate
attached to the frame behind the
radiator. Take this code to your
dealer so you are sure to get the
correct colour.
Inspect your vehicle frequently for
chips or scratches in the paint.
Repair them right away to prevent
corrosion of the metal underneath.
Use the touch-up paint only on small
chips and scratches. More extensive
paint damage should be repaired by
a professional.
Chemical solvents or strong cleaners
may cause discolouration or stain the
seat or other interior parts. Be
careful when you use such a
chemical agent when cleaning the
interior components.
