Body Lubrication

Locks and all body pivot points, including
such items as seat tracks, door hinge

sliding doors and hood hinges, should be
lubricated periodically with a lithium

and wear. Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should be
wiped clean to remove dust and grit; after
lubricating excess oil and grease should
be removed. Particular attention should
also be given to hood latching compo-

performing other underhood services, the
hood latch, release mechanism and safety
catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lu-

dow periodically with a sponge or soft
cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This
will remove accumulations of salt, waxes,
or road film, and help reduce streaking
and smearing.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for
long periods may cause deterioration of
the wiper blades. Always use washer fluid
when using the wipers to remove salt or
dirt from a dry windshield or rear window.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove
frost or ice from the windshield or rear
window. Make sure that they are not frozen
to the glass before turning them on to
avoid damaging the blade. Keep the
blade rubber out of contact with petroleum
products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE: Life expectancy of wiper blades
varies depending on geographical area
