Owner Maintenance

Form No. 8R09-EA-02G

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 engine hood’s secondary 
latch keeps the hood from opening when 
the primary latch is released.

This air filter may be cleaned with 
compressed air and reused, or replaced, 
depending on its condition. Unless it is 
very dirty, simply shake it to remove 
foreign particles. Each time you inspect it, 
wipe inside the air cleaner housing with a 
damp cloth.

Air Filter

Don’t drive without an air filter. This 
could result in excessive engine wear.

NOTE

If the vehicle is operated in very dusty 
or sandy areas, replace the filter more 
often than recommended intervals.
