(f) Lubricate all key lock cylinders, body door and fuel
door hinges, latches and locks (including glove box
and console doors), hood latch assembly, secondary
latch, pivots, spring anchor, release pawl and any
moving seat hardware. Lubricate hood safety lever
pivot and prop rod pivot and tailgate latch bolt, handle
assembly pivot points and hinges. More frequent
lubrication may be required when exposed to a corrosive
environment. Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips
with a clean cloth will make them last longer, seal
better and not stick or squeak.

problem. Have the system inspected and repaired
and the fluid level checked. Add fluid if needed.

vehicle is mainly driven under one or more of these
conditions:
