There are two different types of wheel nut, depending on whether the whe\
els are steel or aluminum.
Steel rims - low nut
Steel rims are normally secured using the low type of nut, although stee\
l rims may also use the high type.
WARNING
Never use the short type of nut for aluminium wheels. This could cause t\
he wheel to come
loose.
Aluminum wheels - high nut
Only the high type of nut can be used for aluminum wheels. This is consi\
derably different from other
types of nut because it has a rotating conical thrust washer.
NOTE
This nut can also be used on steel
wheels.
Lockable wheel nut
If steel wheels with lockable wheel nuts are used in combination with wh\
eel covers, the lockable wheel
nut must be fitted to the stud nearest the air valve. The wheel cover ca\
nnot otherwise be installed on the
wheel.

On cars with a spare wheel, the jack and lug wrench are secured in a foa\
m plastic block placed in the
center of the wheel.
CAUTION
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a\
spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously d\
amage your car's transmission.
The retaining straps securing the spare wheel is attached to two eyelets\
in the floor of the spare wheel's
storage compartment.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire othe\
r than as a temporary
replacement for a punctured tire. It must be replaced as soon as possibl\
e by a standard tire. Road holding
and handling may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not e\
xceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Do
not drive farther than 50 miles (80 km) on a temporary spare tire.

179 08 Car care
Washing and cleaning the vehicle
washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
CAUTION
l Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain se\
nsor to avoid damaging the
windshield wipers.
l Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and \
that any antenna(s) are
retracted or removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging \
them.
WARNING
l When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes \
several times in order to
remove any moisture from the brake linings.
l Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This \
constitutes a fire risk.
Exterior lighting
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterio\
r lights such as headlights, fog
lights, or taillights. This is normal and the lights are designed to wit\
hstand moisture. Normally,
condensation will dissipate after the lights have been on for a short ti\
me.
Polishing and Waxing
l Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery\
, however, waxing may be
beneficial.
l Before applying polish or wax the vehicle must be washed and dried. Tar \
spots can be removed with
kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing comp\
ound.
l After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
l Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.
l Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface.
l A wide range of polymer-based waxes can be purchased today. These waxes \
are easy to use and
produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork aga\
inst oxidation, road dirt and
fading.
l Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct sunlight (the surface of th\
e vehicle should not be warmer
than 113° F (45° C).
CAUTION

Driving habits and conditions, climate, the number of starts, etc., all \
affect the service life and function of
the battery. In order for your battery to perform satisfactorily, keep t\
he following in mind:
l Check the fluid level in each cell in the battery every 24 months or eve\
ry 15,0001 miles (24,000 km),
whichever is sooner. The fluid should be at the level shown in the illus\
trations above (A). Do not overfill.
l Use a screw driver to open the caps or cover and a flashlight to inspect\
the level.
l If necessary, add distilled water. The level should never be above the i\
ndicator (A).
l The fluid level should be checked if the battery has been recharged.
l After inspection, be sure the cap over each battery cell or the cover is\
securely in place.
l Check that the battery cables are correctly connected and properly tight\
ened.
l Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running, or when the key\
is in the ignition. This could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
l The battery should be disconnected from the vehicle when a battery charg\
er is used directly on the
