fabric's color or texture is adversely
affected by a particular cleaner, do not
use it.

Cleaning the Engine
*
[MC51900(F )01/96]
A clean engine is more efficient because a
buildup of grease and dirt acts as an insulator,
keeping the engine warmer than usual.

q
Extreme care must be used if a power washer
is used to clean the engine. The high pressure
fluid could penetrate sealed parts and
assemblies causing damage or malfunctions.
*
[MC52100(F )04/96]
q
In order to avoid possible cracking of the
engine block or fuel injection pump, do not
spray a hot engine or injection pump with
cold water.
*
[MC52200(F )04/96]
q
The alternator, distributor and air intake must
be covered. Covering these components will
help prevent water damage.
*
[MC52300(F )01/96]
q
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is
running. Water getting into the engine may
cause internal damage.

Cleaning the Wheels
*
[MC52450(F )03/96]
Wash the wheels with the same detergent you
use to wash your vehicle's body. Do not use
acid-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, abrasives,
fuel, or strong detergents. These substances will
damage protective coatings. Use tar and road oil
remover to remove grease and tar.
*
[MC52500(F )03/96]
NOTE: Before going to a car wash, find out if
the brushes are abrasive.
