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.

Windshield Wiper Blades

The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield

should be cleaned periodically witha sponge orsoft cloth

and a mild nonabrasive cleaner to remove accumulations

of salt or road film.

Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods

may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use

washer fluidwhen usingthe wipers to remove salt or dirt

from a dry windshield.

Avoid using the wiperblades towipe frost or ice from the

windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with

petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.

Windshield Washers — Front and Rear

On vehicles equipped with a Vehicle Information Center,

the low washer fluid level will be indicated. When the

sensor detects a low fluid level, the windshield will light

on the vehicle graphic outline and the “Washer Fluid

Low” message will be displayed.

The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the

rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of

the engine compartment on the passenger side and

should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill

the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radia-

tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds

to flush out the residual water.
