Oldsmobile Intrigue (2002 year). Manual - part 20

6-53

Cleaning Vinyl

Use warm water and a clean cloth.
D Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. 

You may have to do it more than once.

D Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain 

if you don’t get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth
and a vinyl/leather cleaner. See your dealer for 
this product.

Cleaning Leather

Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap or
saddle soap and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Then, let the
leather dry naturally. Do not use heat to dry.
D For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner. See your

dealer for this product.

D Never use oils, varnishes, solvent

-

based or abrasive

cleaners, furniture polish or shoe polish on leather.

D Soiled or stained leather should be cleaned

immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into the
finish, it can harm the leather.

Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel

Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces
of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or
waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield
and even make it difficult to see through the windshield
under certain conditions.

Cleaning Interior Plastic Components

Use only a mild soap and water solution on a soft 
cloth or sponge. Commercial cleaners may affect the
surface finish.

Care of Safety Belts

Keep belts clean and dry.

CAUTION:

Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it
may severely weaken them. In a crash, they
might not be able to provide adequate protection.
Clean safety belts only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.

6-54

Cleaning Glass Surfaces

Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner or a
liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal
tobacco smoke and dust films on interior glass. See
“Appearance Care and Materials” in the Index.

NOTICE:

Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they
may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the
inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on
the inside of the rear window, an electric
defogger element may be damaged. Any
temporary license should not be attached across
the defogger grid.

Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield and Wiper Blades

If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running,
wax, sap or other material may be on the blade 
or windshield.

Clean the outside of the windshield with a full

-

strength

glass cleaning liquid. The windshield is clean if beads
do not form when you rinse it with water.

Grime from the windshield will stick to the wiper blades
and affect their performance. Clean the blade by wiping
vigorously with a cloth soaked in full

-

strength

windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade 
with water.

Check the wiper blades and clean them as necessary;
replace blades that look worn.

Weatherstrips

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every 
six months. During very cold, damp weather 
more frequent application may be required.
See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” 
in the Index.

6-55

Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle

The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth
of color, gloss retention and durability.

Washing Your Vehicle

The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to
keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or 
cold water.

Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun.
Use a car washing soap. Don’t use strong soaps or
chemical detergents. Be sure to rinse the vehicle well,
removing all soap residue completely. You can get
GM

-

approved cleaning products from your dealer. See

“Appearance Care and Materials” in the Index. Don’t
use cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or that
contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be
flushed promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface,
or they could stain. Dry the finish with a soft, clean
chamois or an all

-

cotton towel to avoid surface

scratches and water spotting.

High pressure car washes may cause water to enter 
your vehicle.

Cleaning Exterior Lamps/Lenses

Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a car
washing soap to clean exterior lamps and lenses. Follow
instructions under “Washing Your Vehicle.”

Finish Care

Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your vehicle by
hand may be necessary to remove residue from the paint
finish. You can get GM

-

approved cleaning products

from your dealer. See “Appearance Care and Materials”
in the Index.

Your vehicle has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. 
The clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored
basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes that are
non

-

abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat 

paint finish.

NOTICE:

Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on
a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish may dull the
finish or leave swirl marks.

6-56

Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other
salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird
droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc., can
damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain on painted
surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If
necessary, use non

-

abrasive cleaners that are marked

safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign matter.

Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather
and chemical fallout that can take their toll over a period
of years. You can help to keep the paint finish looking
new by keeping your vehicle garaged or covered
whenever possible.

Cleaning Aluminum or
Chrome

-

Plated Wheels (If Equipped)

Keep your wheels clean using a soft clean cloth with
mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After
rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean towel. A wax
may then be applied.

The surface of these wheels is similar to the painted
surface of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners, cleaners
with acid or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because
you could damage the surface. Do not use chrome polish
on aluminum wheels.

Use chrome polish only on chrome

-

plated wheels, but

avoid any painted surface of the wheel, and buff off
immediately after application.

Don’t take your vehicle through an automatic car wash
that has silicon carbide tire cleaning brushes. These
brushes can also damage the surface of these wheels.

Cleaning Tires

To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner.

NOTICE:

When applying a tire dressing always take care to
wipe off any overspray or splash from all painted
surfaces on the body or wheels of the vehicle.
Petroleum

-

based products may damage the paint

finish and tires.

6-57

Sheet Metal Damage

If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal
repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop
applies anti

-

corrosion material to the parts repaired or

replaced to restore corrosion protection.

Original manufacturer replacement parts will provide
the corrosion protection while maintaining the warranty.

Finish Damage

Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish
should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into a major repair expense.

Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch

-

up

materials available from your dealer or other service
outlets. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected
in your dealer’s body and paint shop.

Underbody Maintenance

Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust
control can collect on the underbody. If these are not
removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on 
the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor 
pan and exhaust system even though they have 
corrosion protection.

At least every spring, flush these materials from the
underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud
and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being flushed.
Your dealer or an underbody car washing system can do
this for you.

Chemical Paint Spotting

Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a
chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and
attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage
can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet

-

shaped

discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched 
into the paint surface.

Although no defect in the paint job causes this,
Oldsmobile will repair, at no charge to the owner, the
surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km)
of purchase, whichever occurs first.

GM Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials

6-59

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

This is the legal identifier for your vehicle. It appears on
a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on the
driver’s side. You can see it if you look through the
windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also
appears on the Vehicle Certification and Service Parts
labels and the certificates of title and registration.

Engine Identification

The 8th character in your VIN is the engine code. This
code will help you identify your engine, specifications
and replacement parts.

Service Parts Identification Label

You’ll find this label on the inside of your trunk lid. 
It’s very helpful if you ever need to order parts. On this
label is:
D your VIN,
D the model designation,
D paint information and
D a list of all production options and 

special equipment.

Be sure that this label is not removed from the vehicle.

6-60

Electrical System

Add-On Electrical Equipment

NOTICE:

Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add

-

on electrical equipment 

can keep other components from working as 
they should.

Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your vehicle, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag

-

Equipped Vehicle” in the Index.

Headlamp Wiring

The headlamp wiring is protected by separate left and
right headlamp fuses in the underhood fuse block. 
An electrical overload will cause a lamp to go off and
remain off. If this happens, have your headlamp system
checked right away.

Windshield Wipers

The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow or ice, the wiper will stop until the motor cools. 
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem,
have it fixed.

Power Windows and Other Power Options

Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected 
from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit
breakers and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself.
This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by
electrical problems.

Look at the silver

-

colored band inside the fuse. If the

band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
