If the transmission is not operable,
or the vehicle must be towed faster
than 40 km/h or farther than
24 km, it must be towed with the
front wheels OFF the ground (us-
ing a flatbed truck, or wheel lift
equipment with the front wheels
raised).CAUTION!
Towing faster than 40 km/h or far-
ther than 24 km with front wheels
on the ground can cause severe dam-
age to the transmission. Such dam-
age is not covered by the New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.WITHOUT THE IGNITION
KEY
Special care must be taken when the
vehicle is towed with the ignition in
the LOCK/OFF position. Flatbed
towing is the preferred towing
method. However, if a flatbed towing
vehicle is not available, wheel lift tow-
ing equipment may be used. Rear
towing (with the front wheels on the
ground) is not allowed, as transmis-
sion damage will occur. If rear towing
is the only alternative, the front
wheels must be placed on a towing
dolly. Proper towing equipment is
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these towing meth-
ods can cause severe transmission
damage. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.

highly corrosive to the metal in your
vehicle. Outside parking, which ex-
poses your vehicle to airborne con-
taminants, road surfaces on which the
vehicle is operated, extreme hot or
cold weather and other extreme con-
ditions will have an adverse effect on
paint, metal trim, and underbody
protection.
The following maintenance recom-
mendations will enable you to obtain
maximum benefit from the corrosion
resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration
or removal of paint and protective
coatings from your vehicle.
The most common causes are:
Road salt, dirt and moisture accu-mulation
Stone and gravel impact
Insects, tree sap and tar
Salt in the air near seacoast locali- ties
Atmospheric fallout/industrial pol- lutants Washing
Wash your vehicle regularly. Al-
ways wash your vehicle in the shade
using a mild car wash soap, and
rinse the panels completely with
clear water.
Use a high quality cleaner wax to remove road film, stains and to pro-
tect your paint finish. Take care
never to scratch the paint.
Avoid using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may dimin-
ish the gloss or thin out the paint
finish.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive or strong clean-
ing materials such as steel wool or
scouring powder, which will scratch
metal and painted surfaces.
Special Care
If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose
off the undercarriage at least once a
month. It is important that the drain holes
in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels be kept clear and
open.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them
up immediately. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsi-
bility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which de-
stroys the paint and protective
coating, have your vehicle repaired
as soon as possible. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsi-
bility of the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt,
etc., be sure that such materials are
well packaged and sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone
shields behind each wheel.
Use Touch Up Paint or equivalent on scratches as soon as possible.
Your authorized dealer has touch
up paint to match the color of your
vehicle.
301
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome plated wheels,
should be cleaned regularly with a
mild soap and water to prevent corro-
sion.CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool,
a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do
not use oven cleaner. These products
may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Avoid automatic car washes
that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Use only
the approved wheel cleaners or
equivalent.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning
Procedure (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in
the following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean,
dry towel. Blot any remaining stain with a
clean, damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and
remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp
towel to remove soap residue.
For grease stains, apply a high quality cleaner to a clean, damp
cloth and remove the stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap
residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on
Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Instrument Panel Surfaces
The instrument panel cover has a low
glare surface, which minimizes reflec-
tions in the windshield. Do not use
protectants or other products which
may cause undesirable reflections.
Use soap and warm water to restore
the low glare surface. Cleaning Leather Upholstery
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of
dirt can act as an abrasive and dam-
age the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp
cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with
any liquid. Please do not use polishes,
oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to
clean your leather upholstery. Appli-
cation of a leather conditioner is not
required to maintain the original con-
dition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for
cleaning purposes. Many are poten-
tially flammable, and if used in
closed areas they may cause respira-
tory harm.
