Wheels: Service Precautions

Aluminum Wheel 

CAUTION 

Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. To maintain their appearance and safety, do the following:

1. Do not damage the aluminum wheels during removal, installation, wheel balancing, etc. After removing, place them on a rubber mat, etc.
2. While the vehicle is being driven, be careful not to ride over sharp obstacles or allow the wheels to contact the shoulder of road.
3. When installing a tire chain, be sure to install it properly not to have slack; otherwise it may hit the wheel while driving.
4. When washing the aluminum wheel, use neutral synthetic detergent and water. Avoid using the cleanser including abrasive, hard brushes or an

automatic car washer.
