 Changing a Flat TireNOTEIf the following occurs while
driving, it could indicate a flat tire.
•Steering becomes difficult.
• The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
• The vehicle pulls in one
direction.If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and
out of the way of traffic to change the
tire. Stopping in traffic or on the
shoulder of a busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
!
Jacking a Vehicle:Changing a tire can be
dangerous. The vehicle can slip
off the jack and seriously injure
someone.
Be sure to follow the directions
for changing a tire, and never get
under a vehicle that is supported
only by a jack.

Appearance Care7-8Pay special attention to removing salt,
dirt, mud, and other foreign material
from the underside of the wings, and
make sure the drain holes in the lower
edges of the doors and rocker panels
are clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits
can damage the finish if not removed
immediately. When prompt washing
with plain water is ineffective, use a
mild soap made for use on vehicles.
Thoroughly rinse off all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Don’t allow
soap to dry on the finish. After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots
from forming.
WARNING
!
Driving with Wet Brakes:Driving with wet brakes is
dangerous. Increased stopping
distance or the vehicle pulling to
one side when braking could
result in a serious accident. Light
braking will indicate whether the
brakes have been affected. Dry
the brakes by driving very slowly
and applying the brakes lightly
until brake performance is
normal.

Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing it. In addition to the
vehicle body, wax the metal trim to
maintain its luster.
1. Use wax which contains no abrasives. Waxes containing
abrasive will remove paint and
could damage bright metal parts.
2. Use a good grade of natural wax for metallic, mica, and solid colors.
3. When waxing, coat evenly with the sponge supplied or a soft cloth.

Underbody Maintenance
Road chemicals and salt used for ice
and snow removal and solvents used
for dust control may collect on the
underbody. If not removed, they will
speed up rusting and deterioration of
such underbody parts as fuel lines,
frame, floor pan, and exhaust system,
even though these parts may be coated
with anticorrosive material.
Thoroughly flush the underbody and
wheel housings with lukewarm or cold
water at the end of each winter. Try
also to do this every month.
Pay special attention to these areas
because they easily hide mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to
wet down the road grime without
removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have drain
holes that should not be clogged.
Water trapped there will cause rusting.
WARNING
!
Driving with Wet Brakes:Driving with wet brakes is
dangerous. Increased stopping
distance or the vehicle pulling to
one side when braking could
result in a serious accident. Light
braking will indicate whether the

the brakes by driving very slowly
and applying the brakes lightly
until brake performance is
normal.
