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 Autumn 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 wind-
shield and rear window periodically with a sponge or soft
cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove accu-
mulations 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
windshield 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 depending 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.
