Body Lubrication

All moving points of the body, such as doors, hood
hinges and locks, should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed.
Use a non-freezing lubricant on locks during cold
weather.
Make sure the engine hood secondary latch keeps the
hood from opening when the primary latch is released.

Lubricants and Fluids

Checking the Washer Fluid Level

Check the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and
add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use windshield washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold climates to
prevent freezing.

CAUTION

• Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the

washer fluid reservoir.

• Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility

when sprayed on the windshield and may
cause loss of vehicle control or damage to
paint and body trim.
