Body Lubrication
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 periodi-
cally with a lithium based grease, such as Mopar
Spray White Lube to assure quiet, easy opera-
tion and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to
the application of any lubricant, the parts con-
cerned 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 Fall and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly
into the lock cylinder.
Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and
the windshield and rear window periodically with
a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive
cleaner. This will remove accumulations of salt,
waxes, or road film, and help reduce streaking
and smearing.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry wind-
shield or rear window.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
ice from the windshield or rear window. Make
sure that they are not frozen to the glass before
turning them on to avoid damaging the blade.
Keep the wiper blade out of contact with petro-
leum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depend-
ing on geographical area and frequency of use.
Poor performance of blades may be present
with chattering, marks, water lines or wet spots.
If any of these conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace as necessary.
Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system; or if the exhaust fumes can be
detected inside the vehicle; or when the under-
side or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have an
authorized technician inspect the complete ex-
haust system and adjacent body areas for bro-
ken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned
parts. Open seams or loose connections could
permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passen-
ger compartment. In addition, have the exhaust
system inspected each time the vehicle is raised
for lubrication or oil change. Replace as re-
quired.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They con-
tain carbon monoxide (CO), which is color-
less and odorless. Breathing it can make
