Wheel Alignment
Proper wheel alignment improves
tire mileage. Your vehicle's
suspension parts should be
inspected often and aligned when
needed (see the "Technical Data"
section). Improper alignment will
cause the front tires to roll at an
angle that will result in faster tire
wear.
Proper tire balancing provides the
best riding comfort and helps
reduce tire tread wear.
Out-of-balance tires can cause
annoying vibration and uneven
tire wear such as cupping and flat
spots.
Care and Maintenance
Exterior
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your
vehicle's finish is to keep it clean by
frequent washings. Wash the vehicle
with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not use hot water or wash in
direct sunlight. Do not use strong
soap or chemical detergents. All
cleaning agents should be promptly
flushed from the surface and not
allowed to dry on the finish.
Polishing and Waxing
Your Vehicle
Polishing is recommended to
remove accumulated residue and
eliminate any "weathered"
appearance.
Your Honda dealer offers several
polishes and cleaners that have
proven to maintain the original
finish appearance and durability.
Protection of Exterior
Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned
regularly to keep their luster.
Washing with water is all that is
usually needed. However, chrome
polish may be used on chrome or
stainless steel trim, if necessary. A
coating of wax, rubbed to a high
polish, is recommended for all bright
metal parts.
Care of Aluminum Wheels
Aluminum wheels have a
clear-coat finish similar to paint.
Use a chamois skin, sponge or
other soft material when washing
the wheels.
Foreign Material Deposits
Calcium chloride and other salts,
ice melting agents, road oil and
