Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible. W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up.
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won ’ t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can ’ t do its job as well.
• If the rear seat back is pr operly latched and the rear center lap/shoulder belt still can not be pulled out, the Automatic-Locking Retractor (ALR) system may be activated. T o reset this featur e you must let all of the belt webbing return into the r etractor .
Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove any slack fr om the seat belts in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt system by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant in a collision.
3. W ithin 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver ’ s seat belt at least thr ee times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while r e-buckling the seat belt.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision. Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even .
This vehicle may also be equipped with left and right side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instr u- ment panel knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger . Left and right side curtain airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection.
6. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are pr ovided in the ⬙ If Y ou Need Customer Assistance ⬙ section in this manual. W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
• Left and Right Side Curtain Airbags Above Side W indows • Left and Right Side Impact Sensors • Interconnection W iring How The Airbag System W orks • The airbag control module determines if a fr ontal collision is severe enough to r equire the airbags to inflate.
inflate to their full size. The airbags fully inflate in about 60 milliseconds. This is only about half of the time it takes you to blink your eyes. The airbags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger . The driver ’ s front airbag gas is vented through a vent hole in the r ear of the airbag.
• It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have been deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you. W ARNING! Deployed airbags can ’ t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
This light should not be illuminated when an adult passenger is properly seated in the fr ont passenger seat. In this case, the airbag is ready to be inflated if a collision requiring an airbag occurs. The P AD Indica- tor Light is also turned off when the seat is empty .
Drivers and adult passengers should verify that the P AD Indicator Light is not illuminated when they are riding in the front passenger seat. If an adult occupant ’ s weight is transferred to another part of the vehicle (like the door or instrument panel), the weight sensors in the seat may not properly classify the occupant.
• The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A lar ge quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags.
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready for your pr otec- tion in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorize.

W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer ’ s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
than one year . These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. (See the LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System Section.
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufactur ers offer add-on tether strap kits or retr o-fit kits. Y ou are ur ged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle.
The rear seat lower anchorages ar e round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seat back, and are just visible when you lean into the r ear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer ’ s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
If the belt still can ’ t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate fr om the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again.
T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thr own about and possibly injured, or injur e a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts.
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below .
Airbag Light The light should come on and remain on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the LED is not lit during starting, have it checked. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds, can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
W ARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Un- burned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cord.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “ P ” or “ N ” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
CAUTION! Before moving the shift lever out of P (Park), you must turn the ignition from LOCK to ON so the shift lever is released. Otherwise, damage to the shifter could result. R (Reverse) For moving the vehicle rearwar d. Always stop before moving the lever to R (Reverse), except when rocking the vehicle.
3 (Third) This range eliminates shifts into Overdrive. The trans- mission will operate normally in First, Second and Third while in this range. The “ 3 ” position should also be used when descending steep grades to prevent brake system distress.
NOTE: • The torque converter clutch will not engage until the transmission fluid and engine coolant is warm (usu- ally after 1 – 3 miles (1.6 – 4.8 km) of driving). Because engine speed is higher when the torque converter clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmis- sion is not shifting into “ Overdrive ” when cold.
5 Speed Automatic T ransmission W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle you should shift the transmission into Park, remove the key from the ignition, and apply the park brake.
Park Position The P ARK position is to be used when parking the vehicle. Engage only with the vehicle stopped. The P ARK position is not intended to serve as a brake when the vehicle is parked. Rather , the driver should always use the parking brake in addition to placing the selector lever in P ARK to secure the vehicle.
Neutral No power is transmitted from the engine to the drive axle. When the brakes are r eleased, the vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed). Do not engage in NEUTRAL position while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.
NOTE: T o avoid overrevving the engine when the selector lever is moved in “ D- ” direction, the transmis- sion will not shift to a lower gear if the engine ’ s revolu- tions per minute limit would be exceeded. Briefly press the selector lever in the “ D+ ” direction.
A reset feature is available to allow the vehicle to be driven to a dealer for service. T o reset the transmission, use the following procedur e: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the selector lever to the P ARK position. 3. T urn off the engine. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds.
Automatic T ransmission — General Information CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
• If there is a need to r estart your engine be sure to cycle the key to the LOCK position before r estarting. T rans- mission engagement may be delayed up to 10 seconds after restart if the key is not cycled to the LOCK position first. • The electronically contr olled transmission provides a precise shift schedule.
Maneuvering T o maneuver in tight areas, contr ol the vehicle speed by gradually releasing the brakes. Accelerate gently and never abruptly step on the accelerator . T o rock a vehicle out of soft gr ound (mud or snow), alternately shift from forwar d to reverse, while applying only slight acceleration.
Y ou can shift in or out of the autostick mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you choose the Overdrive mode, the transmission will oper - ate automatically; shifting between the five available gears.
T o release the parking brake, pull out on the parking brake release located on the left side of the instr ument panel. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of park.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The ef fort required to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that r equired with the power system operating.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason, the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “ P ” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: Some vehicles have a “ T ire and Loading Infor- mation ” placard located on the driver ’ s side “ B ” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire ’ s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loa.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 227 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tire is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap – if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “ cold tire inflation pr essure ” .
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don ’ t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle ’ s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear .
SELF – SEALING TIRES — IF EQUIPPED A non-hardening viscous sealant applied to the inner liner of each tire fills punctur es up to 0.19 in. (5 mm) to minimize the loss of air pressur e. This contributes to the safety of the vehicle by significantly reducing the pr ob- ability of a roadside stop due to a flat tir e.

NOTE: • The TPM system can inform the driver of a low tire pressur e condition. • The TPM system is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, nor to pr ovide warning of a tire failure or condition. • The TPM system should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure.
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was originally equipped with your vehicle and should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and pr ovide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when us- ing high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane of 87. The manufacturer r ecommends the use of 89 octane for optimum performance.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates are r equired in some areas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
vehicle may be sold nationwide. Y our vehicle will oper- ate satisfactorily on fuels meeting Federal specification, but emission control system performance may be ad- versely affected. Gasoline sold outside of California is permitted to have higher sulfur levels which may affect the performance of the vehicle ’ s catalytic converter .
some light smoke, your engine may be out-of-tune or malfunctioning and may requir e immediate service. Contact your dealer for service assistance. • The use of fuel additives which are now being sold as octane enhancers are not r ecommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. Push in on the left side (near the edge) of the fuel filler door to access the fuel filler cap. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “ clicking ” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not secured pr operly the Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will turn on. Make sure that the gas cap is tightened each time the vehicle is refueled.
VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown in the charts that follow . This information should be used for passenger and luggage loading as indicated. If the seatbacks are folded for carrying car go, do not exceed the specified GVWR and GA WR.
Overloading The load carrying components (axle, springs, tires, wheels, etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory service as long as you do not exceed the GVWR and front and rear GA WR. The best way to figure out the total weight of your vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for operation.

Start the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery , let the engine idle a few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery .
T raction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and r oad surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability . T o reduce this possibility , the following precau- tions should be observed: 1.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle ’ s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
CAUTION! • Do not attempt to tow this vehicle from the front with sling type towing equipment. Damage to the front fascia will result. • The only approved method of towing is with a flat bed truck. • Do not tow the vehicle from the rear . Damage to the rear sheet metal, and fascia will occur .

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle ’ s emissions control system.
If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility . If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failur e or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update.
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings. Maintain the oil level between the MIN and MAX markings on the dipstick. Adding one quart of oil when the reading is at the MIN mark will result in a MAX r eading on these engines.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. CAUTION! Operating the engine with the oil levels below the safe zone, or operating with oil levels that exceed the top of the safe zone by 25% may cause engine damage.
• T axi, Police or delivery service (commercial service). • Off-Road or desert operation. NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “ B ” of the ⬙ Maintenance Schedules ⬙ section of this manual.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) — 2.7L Engines SAE 5W -30 and SAE 5W -20 engine oils are recom- mended for all operating temperatures. These engine oils improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . Refer to your engine oil filler cap for the recommended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) — 5.7L Engines The recommended engine oil viscosity for vehicles equipped with the 5.7L engine is SAE 5W -20. NOTE: Engine oils higher in viscosity may reduce fuel economy in vehicles equipped with 5.
Belts should be inspected for evidence of cuts, cracks, glazing, or frayed cords and r eplaced if there is indication of damage which could result in belt failur e. Low gen- erator belt tension can cause battery failure. Also check belt routing to make sur e there is no interfer- ence between the belts and other engine components.
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance. However , it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assur e proper catalyst operation and pr event possible catalyst damage. CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition.
• Do not try to start engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. • Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as when diagnostic testing, or for prolonged periods during very r ough idling or malfunctioning operating conditions.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don ’ t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don ’ t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
Power Steering — Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated.
Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, doors, trunk and hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation and to protect against r ust and wear .
The washer fluid reservoir will hold a full gallon of fluid when the Low W asher Fluid Light illuminates. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
Cooling System Inspection W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, turn the ignition key to the OFF position. The fan is temperature controlled and can start at any time when the ignition key is in the ON position. • Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator .
CAUTION! • Mixing of coolants other than the specified HOA T coolant may result in decreased corrosion protec- tion and engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty . If a non-HOA T coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the speci- fied coolant as soon as possible.
W ARNING! • The warning words “ DO NOT OPEN HOT ” on the coolant pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add coolant to the cooling system when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the coolant pressure cap to cool an overheated engine.
If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate. • Do not overfill the coolant bottle. • Check coolant freeze point in the system. • If frequent coolant additions ar e required, the cooling system should be pressur e tested for leaks.
Brakes In order to assur e brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically . Suggested service intervals can be found in the Mainte- nance Schedules section of this manual. W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident.
W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
CAUTION! Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid, all brake seal components could be damaged causing partial or complete brake failure.
CAUTION! The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not require adjustment under normal operating condi- tions. If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your authorized dealer immediately . Severe damage to the transmission may occur . Y our authorized dealer has the proper tools to accurately adjust the fluid level.
Severe Usage is defined as: 1. More than 50% of vehicle operation in stop and go traffic wher e vehicle is driven regularly for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation, such as in heavy city or in construction zone traf fic, 2.
W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly . Always wash your ve- hicle in the shade using a mild car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with clear water . • If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, wash it as soon as possible.
