11-4 Service and Maintenance
Body hinges and latches and
key lock cylinders lubrication.
See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11 6. More
frequent lubrication may be
required when the vehicle is
exposed to a corrosive
environment, such as areas of
high humidity, along an ocean
coast, and/or areas that apply
road salt during winter. Applying
silicone grease on weatherstrips
with a clean cloth makes them
last longer, seal better, and not
stick or squeak.
