UBRICATION

  

Locks and all body pivot points, including such 

items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points 

and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding 

doors, and hood hinges should be lubricated 

periodically with a lithium-based grease, such 

as Mopar® Spray White Lube, to ensure quiet, 

easy operation and to protect 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 other underhood services, the hood 

latch, release mechanism and safety catch 

should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated 

twice a year, preferably in the Autumn and 

Spring. Apply a small amount of a high quality 

lubricant, such as Mopar® Lock Cylinder 

Lubricant, directly into the lock cylinder.

CAUTION!

The cabin air filter is identified with an arrow 

to indicate airflow direction through the filter. 

Failure to properly install the filter will result 

in the need to replace it more often.
