1. Flip the handle
up and then pull out the dipstick
and wipe it with a
clean rag

towel.
2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and then pul\

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 a solvent:
0 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.

blow dryer to help prevent
a cleaning ring. (See the previous NOTICE.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing
it often with lukewarm or cold water.
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 (mild
detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or that
contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushe\
d 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 vehicle washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your vehicle by hand may be
necessary to remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM
approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See “Appearance\
Care and
Materials” in the Index.)
Your vehicle has a “basecoatklearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives
more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and
polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoatklearcoat paint
finish.
NOTICE:
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a .
basecoatlclearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave sw\
irl
marks.
Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting
agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial
chimneys, etc. can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain on painted
surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If necessary, use
non-abrasive cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces to remove
foreign matter.
Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather and chemical fallout
that can take their toll over a period
of years. You can help to keep the paint
finish looking new by keeping your vehicle garaged
or covered whenever
possible.
