CAUTION

Do not u se abrasive cleaners when

washing the wheels.

Aluminum alloy wheels

Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a

mild soap s olution, especially during winter

months in areas where road salt is used. Salt

could discolor the wheels if not removed.

CAUTION

Follow the directions below to avoid

staining or discoloring the wheels:

. Do not use a cleaner that uses

strong acid or alkali contents to

clean the wheels.

. Do not apply wheel cleaners to the

wheels when they are hot. The

wheel temperature should be the

same as ambient temperature.

. Rinse the wheel to completely re-

move the cleaner within 15 minutes

after the cleaner is applied.

Wheels for Kro

¯

m models

The wheels on Kro

¯

m models use a different

coating process than typical aluminum alloy

wheel and they are not plated wheels. These

wheels are clear-coated and require the follow-

ing special cleaning. They should be regularly

washed with a soft sponge soaked in a lot of

water. After washing with water, wipe clean with

a dry, soft cloth and dry completely. When there

is chemical or tire wax, or dirt such as an anti-

freeze agent on the surface, wash them with

water as soon as possible.

CAUTION

. The surfaces of the wheels use a

different coating process than typi-

cal aluminum alloy wheels. Do not

use aluminum alloy wheel cleaners

or abrasive cleaners to clean the

wheels. Using such cleaners could

damage the wheel surfaces.

. Do not use an automatic car wash

for Kro

¯

m models. The wheel coating

may be damaged.

. Do not use a brush to wash the

wheels on Kro

¯

m models. The wheel

coating may be damaged.

CHROME PARTS

Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-

abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.

TIRE DRESSING

NISSAN does not recommend the use of tire

dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to

the tires to help reduce discoloration of the

rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it

may react with the coating and form a com-

pound. This compound may come off the tire

while driving and stain the vehicle paint.

If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the

following precautions:

. Use a water-based tire dressing. The coat-

ing on the tire dissolves more easily with an

oil-based tire dressing.

. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help

prevent it from entering the tire tread/

groove s (where it would be difficult to

remove).

. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry

towel. Make sure the tire dre ssing is

completely removed from the tire tread/

grooves.

. Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-

mended by tire dressing manufacturer.
