Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points,
including such items as seat tracks,
door hinge pivot points and rollers,
liftgate, sliding parts of power sunroof (if
equipped) and hood hinges, should be
lubricated periodically with a lithium-
based grease. This action is essential to
preserve the original operation of these
components and to protect them against
rust 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
components to ensure proper function.
When performing maintenance in the
engine compartment, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated. The
coupling pin of the lock on the rear driver
door pillar must be lubricated at least
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and
Spring. Apply a small amount of high
quality lubricant directly on the bolt.
Battery Status and
Maintenance
This vehicle is equipped with a 12 V
sealed type maintenance-free battery.
You will never have to add water, nor is
periodic maintenance required.
In addition to the 12 V battery, the MHEV
models are equipped with another 48 V
Li-Ion battery that does not require any
type of maintenance. Its charge status is
visible by entering the "Vehicle" menu on
the MIA screen and choosing "Electric
Vehicle" submenu, or visualizing the
"Hybrid Info" widget on the left digital
dial.
Any work on this battery must be
performed by the technicians of the
Service Network.
NOTE:
All the descriptions/operations of this
chapter refer only to the 12 V battery
which will be simply called "battery".
