& Cleaning Alloy Wheels
s10aa04
! Vehicles without matte painted
wheels
s10aa0403
. Promptly wipe the alloy wheels clean of
any kind of grime or agent. If dirt is left
on too long, it may be difficult to clean
off.
. Do not use soap containing grit to clean
the wheels. Be sure to use a neutral
cleaning agent, and later rinse thor-
oughly with water. Do not clean the
wheels with a stiff brush or expose them
to a high-speed washing device.
. Clean the vehicle (including the alloy
wheels) with water as soon as possible
when it has been splashed with sea
water, exposed to sea breezes, or
driven on roads treated with salt or
other agents.
! Vehicles with matte painted wheels
s10aa0404
CAUTION
Be sure to observe the following
precautions as matte painted
wheels can be damaged.
. Do not scrub or polish the wheels
using a brush or dry cloth.
. Do not use any wheel coatings or
abrasive detergents.
As matte painted wheels require different
cleaning methods than conventional alloy
wheels, be sure to observe the following.
For details, consult your SUBARU dealer.
. Remove dirt using water. If the wheels
are excessively dirty, use a sponge or
soft cloth dampened with a diluted
neutral detergent to remove the dirt.
& Cleaning Tire (Vehicle with
White Letter Tires)
s10aa05
It is recommended to clean the white letter
part on the side of the tire frequently
because it easily gets dirty. When clean-
ing, use a neutral detergent and wash with
a sponge.
10-2. Corrosion Protection
s10ab
Your SUBARU has been designed and
built to resist corrosion. Special materials
and protective finishes have been used on
most parts of the vehicle to help maintain
fine appearance, strength, and reliable
operation.
& Most Common Causes of
Corrosion
s10ab01
The most common causes of corrosion
are:
. The accumulation of moisture retaining
dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.
. Damage to paint and other protective
coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor accidents.
Corrosion is accelerated on the vehicle
when:
. It is exposed to road salt or dust control
chemicals, or used in coastal areas
where there is more salt in the air, or in
areas where there is considerable
industrial pollution.
. It is driven in areas of high humidity,
especially when temperatures range
just above freezing.
