LUBRICANTS AND
FLUIDS
CHECKING THE WASHER
FLUID LEVEL
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is
not available. However, use windshield
washer solvent with antifreeze
characteristics in cold climates to prevent
freezing.
CAUTION :
• Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
• Radiator coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed on
the windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control or damage to
paint and body trim.
BODY LUBRICATION
All moving points of the body, such as
doors, hood hinges and locks, should be
lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed.
Use a non-freezing lubricant on locks
during cold weather.
Make sure the engine hood secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
