Body
Normal use of your vehicle will cause metal to metal wear at some points on
the cab and body
if they are not lubricated.
For exposed surfaces, such as door checks, door lock bolts, lo\
ck striker
plates, dovetail bumper wedges, etc., a thin film of engine oil should be
applied.
The seat adjusters and seat track should be lubricated with ch\
assis grease, Door weather strips and rubber hood bumpers should be lightly \
coated with a
rubber lubricant.
Never use too much of any lubricant and be sure to wipe up any extra
lubricant when you are finished.

Lock Cylinders
To be sure your locks operate properly, they must be lubricated, Your
vehicle’s maintenance schedule will tell you how often
to lubricate them. See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
in the Index for the proper lubricant to
use.
You should not use penetrating oils because they could wash out the factory
installed lubricant and cause the lock to bind. De-icers which contain alcohol
could also wash away the lubricant,
so be sure to lubricate the lock after
using a de-icer
of this type.

Using Solvent-Type CIeaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains will clean
off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to use it, then:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside \
of the stain,
“feathering” toward the center. Keep changing
to a clean section of the
cloth
.
When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with an air
hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp
to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See
previous NOTICE.)
Fabric Profection
Your vehicle has upholstery that has been treated with ScotchgardTM \
Fabric
Protector, a
3M product. ScotchgardTM protects fabrics by repelling oil and
water, which are the carriers
of most stains. Even with this protection, you
still need
to clean your upholstery often to keep it looking new.
Further information on cleaning is available by calling
1-800-433-3296 (in
Minnesota,
1-800-642-61 67).
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or Oily Stains: Like grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee
with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax c\
rayon, tar
and asp ha1
t .
Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Then follow the solvent-type instructions above.
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be c\
areful, because the cleaner will dissolve them and may cause them
to bleed.
Non-Greasy Stains: Like catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk,
soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood.
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the place with cool water.
If a stain remains, follow the foam-type instructions above.
If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area with a
watedbaking soda solution:
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup
(250 ml) of lukewarm water.
Finally, if needed, clean lightly with solvent-type cleaner.
