WHEELS Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to maintain their appearance...Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle is washed. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead. NISSAN recommends that the road wheels be waxed to protect against road salt in areas where it is used during winter. following precautions: 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 remove the cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is applied. . . . . . . CAUTION Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the wheels. Use a water-based tire dressing. The coating 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/ grooves (where it would be difficult to remove). Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing is completely removed from the tire tread/ grooves. Allow the tire dressing to dry as recommended by tire dressing manufacturer. CHROME PARTS Clean chrome parts regularly with a nonabrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish. ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution, especially during winter months in areas where road salt is used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not removed. 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 compound. This compound may come off the tire while driving and stain the vehicle paint. If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the 7-4 Appearance and care
