Chevrolet 1997 Automobile User Manual


 
To
protect the convertible top:
After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top
is
completely dry before you lower
it.
Don’t get any cleaner
on
the vehicle’s painted finish;
it could leave streaks.
If
you
decide
to
go through an automatic car wash,
ask the manager
if
the equipment could damage
your top.
Aluminum or Chrome Wheels
(If
Equipped)
Keep your wheels clean using a soft clean cloth with
mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After
rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean towel. A wax
may then be applied.
The surface of these wheels is similar to the painted
surface of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners or
abrasive cleaning brushes
on
them because
you
could
damage the surface.
You
may
use
chrome polish on
chrome wheels, but avoid any painted surface of the
wheel, and buff
off
immediately after application.
Don’t take your vehicle through an automatic car wash
that has silicon carbide tire cleaning brushes. These
brushes can also damage the surface of these wheels.
Tires
To clean your tires,
use
a
stiff brush with a tire cleaner.
I
NOTICE:
When applying a tire dressing always take care to
wipe off any overspray
or
splash from
all
painted
surfaces on the
body
or wheels of the vehicle.
Petroleum-based products may damage the
paint finish.
Sheet Metal Damage
If
your vehicle
is
damaged and requires sheet metal
repair or replacement, make sure the body repair
shop
applies anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired or
replaced
to
restore corrosion protection.
