Body Lubrication

All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.

Wiper Blades

CAUTION

Ø

Hot waxes applied by automatic
car washers have been known to
affect the wiper's ability to clean
windows.

Ø

To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.

Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.

q

Replacing Windshield Wiper Blades

When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, don't try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
