l Special car washing detergent is the best to
use. Liquid dishwashing detergent can remove wax
and leave the car’s paint unprotected and in addition
some liquid detergents contains abrasives which can
scratch the paint.
l Bird droppings should be removed from the
paintwork as soon as possible, otherwise the finish
may be permanently stained.
When the car is driven immediately after be-
ing washed, apply the brakes several times

sition of the fluid against the mark on the dipstick,
Add fluid to the reservoir if the fluid does not reach

On most models, the manufacturer doesn’t install
lubrication fittings on lube points on the steering
linkage or suspension. However, if the lubrication
point does have a grease fitting, lubricate with multi-
purpose NLGI No. 2 (Lithium base) grease.
CAR WASHING
The car should be washed at regular intervals to
remove dirt, dust, insects, and tar and other possibly
damaging stains that can adhere to the paint and may
cause damage. Proper exterior maintenance also
helps in the resale value of the vehicle by maintaining
its like-new appearance.
Mt is particularly important ta frequentiy
wash the car in the wintertime to prevent cor-
rosion, when salt has been used on the roads.
There are many precautions and tips on washing,
including the following:
l When washing the car, do not expose it do di-
rect sunlight.
. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before
you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid
scratching.
l A detergent can be used to facilitate the soften-
ing of dirt and oil. * A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in
cases of sticky dirt. However, use a washplace with a
drainage separator.
l Dry the car with a clean chamois and remem-
ber to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker
panels.
l If equipped with a power radio antenna, it must
be dried after washing.
Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or
paint thinner, always use the same agent as
used on the painted surfaces of the vehicle.
l Tar spots can be removed with tar remover or
kerosene after the car has been washed.
l A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water
can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent
cleaning improves visibility when using the wipers
considerably.
l Wash off the did from the underside (wheel
housings, fenders, etc.).
l In areas of high industrial fallout, more fre-
quent washing is recommended.
During high pressure washing the spray nonle
must never be closer to the vehicle than 13
inches (30cm). Do not spray into the locks.
l When washing or steam cleaning the engine,
avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electri-
cal components or near the distributor or ignition
components. After cleaning the engine, the spark
plug wells should be inspected for water and blown
dry if necessary. Automatic car washing is a simple and quick way
to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it
is not as thorough as when you yourself clean the
car. Keeping the underbody clean is vitally important,
and some automatic washers do not contain equip-
ment for washing the underside of the car.
When driving into an automatic was, make sure
the following precautions have been taken:
l Make sure all windows are up, and no objects
that you do not want to get wet are exposed.
l In some cases, rotating the side view mirrors
in can help to avoid possible damage.
l If your car is equipped with a power antenna,
lower it. If your vehicle has a solid mounted, non-
power antenna, it is best to remove it, but this is not
always practical. Inspect the surroundings to reduce
the risk of possible damage, and check to see if the
antenna can be manually lowered.
Most manufacturers do not recommend auto-
matic car washing in the first six months due
to the possibility of insufficient paint curing;
a safe bet is to wait until after six months of
ownership (when purchased new) to use an
automatic car wash.
WAXING
eBefore applying wax, the vehicle must be
washed and thoroughly dried.
Waxing a vehicle can help to preserve the appear-
ante of your vehicle. A wide range of polymer-based
car waxes are available today. These waxes are easy
to use and produce a long-lasting, high gloss finish
that protects the body and paint against oxidation,
road dirt, and fading.
Sometimes, waxing a neglected vehicle, or one
that has sustained chemical or natural element dam-
age (such as acid rain) require more than waxing,
and a light-duty compound can be applied. For se-
verely damaged surfaces, it is best to consult a pro-
fessional to see what would be required to repair the
damage.
Waxing procedures differ according to manufac-
turer, type, and ingredients, so it is best to consult
the directions on the wax and/or polish purchased.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL 6-7
When working on any electrical component on the
vehicle, it is always a good idea to disconnect the
negative (-) battery cable. This will prevent potential
damage to many sensitive electrical components
such as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), radio,
alternator, etc.
*Any time you disengage the battery cables,
it is recommended that you disconnect the negative (-) battery cable first. This will pre-
vent your accidentally grounding the positive
(+) terminal to the body of the vehicle when
disconnecting it, thereby preventing damage
to the above mentioned components.
Before you disconnect the cable(s), first turn the
ignition to the OFF position. This will prevent a draw
on the battery which could cause arcing (electricity
trying to ground itself to the body of a vehicle, just
like a spark plug jumping the gap) and, of course, damaging some components such as the alternator
diodes.
When the battery cable(s) are reconnected (nega-
tive cable last), be sure to check that your lights,
windshield wipers and other electrically operated
safety components are all working correctly. If your
vehicle contains an Electronically Tuned Radio (ETR),
don’t forget to also reset your radio stations. Ditto for
the clock.

Cruise control is a speed control system that
maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal dri-
ving conditions. However, steep grades up or down
may cause variations in the selected speeds. The !
electronic cruise control system has the capability to
cruise, coast, resume speed, accelerate, “tap-up” and
“tap-down”.
The main parts of the cruise control system are the
functional control switches, speed control assembly, actuator, intermediate link, auto-cruise control mod-
ule assembly, speed sensor, and the release
switches.
Depending upon the year and/or model of your
vehicle, the cruise control system is either vacuum or
electronically controlled. The cruise control module
assembly contains a low speed limit which will pre-
vent system engagement below 25 mph (40 km/h).
The module is controlled by the functional switches located on a lever on the steering column or steering
wheel and on the instrument panel.
The release switches are mounted on the
brake/clutch/accelerator pedal bracket. When the
brake or clutch pedal is depressed, the cruise control
system is electrically disengaged and the throttle is
returned to the idle position.
