1993 CHEVROLET CAMARO tow

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on
- the parts to which it is fastened,
can make wheel
nuts become loose
after a time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
you change a wheel, remove any
rust
or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an
emergency,
you can use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure to
use a scraper
or wire brush later, if
you need to, to get all the rust or dirt
off. (See “Changing
a Flat Tire” in
When It’s Time for New Tires
One way to tell when it’s time for new
tires
is to check the treadwear indicators,
which will appear when your tires have
only
2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread
remaining.
You need a new tire if:
You can see the indicators at three
places around the tire.
through the tire’s rubber.
or snagged deep enough to show cord
or fabric.
You can see cord or fabric showing
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that can’t be repaired well
because
of the size or location of the
damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you
need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle when
it
was new had a Tire Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec) number
on each
tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires,
get ones
with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle
will
continue to have tires that are designed to
give proper endurance, handling, speed

0 As soon as you’ve cleaned the section,
use a sponge to remove the suds.
0 Rinse the section with a clean, wet
sponge.
0 Wipe off what’s left with a slightly
damp paper towel
or cloth.
Then dry it immediately with an air
hose, a hair dryer
or a heat lamp.
~ NOTICE:
Be careful with a hair dryer or heat
lamp.
You could scorch the fabric.
B Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type
cleaner at all. Some spots and stains will
clean off better with just water and mild
soap.
If you need to use it,
then:
Gently scrape excess soil from the
trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light
pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at
the outside of the stain, “feathering”
toward the center. Keep changing to a
clean section of
the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area
with an air
hose, hair dryer,
or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. (See the
previous NOTICE.)
Fabric Protection
Your Chevrolet has upholstery and carpet
that has been treated with Scotchgard”
Fabric Protector, a
3M product.
Scotchgard
” protects fabrics by repelling
oil and water, which are the carriers
of
most stains. Even with this protection,
you still need to clean your upholstery
often to keep
it looking new.
Further information on cleaning is
available by calling 1-800-433-3296
(in Minnesota, 1-800-642-6 167).

Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct
rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps
or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand,
dish or car washing (non-detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that
contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning
agents should
be flushed promptly and
not allowed
to dry on the surface, or they
could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft,
clean chamois or a 100% cotton towel
to avoid surface scratches and water
spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause
water
to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of
your Chevrolet may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish. You
can get
GM approved cleaning products
from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care
and Maintenance Materials” in the Index.)
Your Chevrolet has a “basecoat/clearcoat”
paint finish. The clearcoat gives more
depth and gloss to the colored basecoat.
I NOTICE:
aggressive polishing on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint finish may
dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
4luminum Wheels (If So Equippea)
Your aluminum wheels have a protective
:oating similar to the painted surface
of
your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps,
zhemicals, chrome polish, or other
ibrasive cleaners on them because you
:ould damage this coating. After rinsing
;horoughly, a wax mav be applied.
If you have aluminum wheels, da ’&
use an automatic car wash that has
hard silicon carbide cleaning
brushes. These brushes can
tak- ~ff
the protective coating.
