dake certain that all wheel nuts are
lroperly tightened. See “Wheel Nut
’orque”
in the Index.
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
pas to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose &er
a time. The wheel
could come off and
cause
an accident. When you change
a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, you
can use a cloth or a paper towel to
do this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if you need to,
to get all the rust or dirt off. (See
“Changing
a Rat Tire” in the Index.)

Service and Appearance Care
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and
change to
a clean area often. A soft
brush
may be used if stains are
stubborn.
Use solvent-type cleaners
in a
well-ventilated area only. If you use
them, don’t saturate the stained area.
If a ring forms after spot cleaning,
clean the entire area immediately or
it
will set.
Using Foam-Type Cleaner on Fabric
Vacuum and brush the area to remove
any loose dirt.
Always clean a whole trim panel or
section. Mask surrounding trim along
stitch or welt lines.
Mix Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner
following the directions on the
container label.
Use suds only and apply with a clean
sponge.
Don’t saturate the material.
Don’t rub
it roughly.

dryer or
a heat lamp.
I NOTICE:
I
Be careful with a hair dryer or heat
lamp. You could scorch the fabric.
Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-Type Cleaner an Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type
cleaner at all. Some spots and stains
will
clean off better with just water and mild
soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
0 Gently scrape excess soil from the
trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very
little cleaner, light
pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start
at
the outside of the stain, “feathering”
toward the center. Keep changing
to a
clean section of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area
with an air
hose, hair dryer, or heat
lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring.
(See the
previous
NOTICE.)
Fabric Protection
Your Geo has upholstery that has been
treated
with Scotchgard Fabric
Protector,
a 3M product. Scotchgard”
protects fabrics by repelling
oil and water,
which are the carriers of most
stains.
Even with this protection, you still need
to clean your upholstery often to keep
it
looking new.
Further information on cleaning
is
available by calling 1-800-433-3296
(in Minnesota, 1-800-642-6167).
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or
oily stains: Such as grease,
oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee
with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic
creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar
and asphalt.
0 Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Follow the solvent-type instructions
described earlier.

Drain, flush and refill the system
with new or approved recycled
coolant conforming to
GM
Specification 182SM. Keep
coolant at the proper mixture
as
specified. See “Coolant” in the

freeze and boil protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and
maintains proper engine
operating temperature.
Inspect hoses and replace
if
they are cracked, swollen or
deteriorated. Tighten screw-type
hose clamps. Clean the outside

To help ensure proper operation,
we recommend a pressure test
of
both the cooling system and the
nressure cap.
