Fluid level should be maintained at the proper level

indicated on the side of the reservoir. If necessary, add

fluid to restore the proper indicated level. With a clean

cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to

Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for

correct fluid type.

Suspension Ball Joints

There are two upper front and rear suspension ball joints.

Inspect these balljoints wheneverunder vehicleservice is

done. If the seals are damaged, the ball joint should be

replaced.

Body Mechanism Lubrication

Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as

seat tracks, doors,liftgate and hood hinges, should be

lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation

and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to the appli-

cation 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 compo-

nents to insure 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 fall and spring. Apply a small

amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopart Lock

Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.

Hood Latch

When performing other under hood services, the hood

latch release mechanism and safety catch should be

inspected, cleaned, and lubricated.

It is important to maintain proper lubrication to insure

that the hood mechanisms work properly and safely.
