Accelerator cables and cruise control cables should not be lubr\
icated. Any
cables that are worn or are hard

When cleaning the engine compartment with water or steam, avoid\
directing the flow onto the throttle linkage
in a manner that would cause moisture to
enter the cables.

the hood
latch and hood hinge assembly.
Propeller Shaft Slip Splines/Universal Joints
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often the slip and
universal joints must be lubricated and what type

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, lock s\
triker
plates, dovetail bumper wedges, etc., a thin film
of engine oil should be
applied.
Where oil holes are provided in the body or cab, a dripless oil can be used.
The seat adjusters and seat track should be lubricated with chassis\
grease.
Door weatherstrips and rubber hood bumpers should be wiped clea\
n with a wet cloth and lightly coated with a rubber lubricant.

of any lubricant and be sure to wipe up any extra
lubricant when you are finished.

To be sure your locks operate properly, they must be lubricated.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
how often to lubricate them
and what type
of 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.
Tailgate Handle

the handle working smoothly.

Have your engine and exhaust system serviced regularly.
Three- Way Catalytic Converter
Your vehicle's three-way catalytic converter is designed to reduce the
pollutants in your vehicle's exhaust. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle.
If you use leaded fuel, you could damage your three-way catalytic converter
and other engine components.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON )
This light on your instrument panel lets you know when your emission
system needs service. The light will come on briefly when you start your
engine to let you know that the system
is working. If it does not come on
when you start your engine, or if it comes on and stays on while you're
driving, your system may
need service. Your vehicle should still be
driveable, but you should have your system serviced right away.

Don’t rub it roughly.
As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge to remove \
the
suds.
0 Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge.

Using Solvent-Type Cleaner 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 a solvent:
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.
0 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
the previous NOTICE.)

The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An
electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until .the
motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line
fuse in the battery feed wire. This fuse
is near the junction block. See
“Trailer Wiring Harness”
in the Features & Controls section.

..
The fuse block is in
the instrument panel
on the driver’s side.
Remove the cover by
turning the fastener to
the left. Then you can
remove fuses with a
fuse extractor.
Spare fuses are provided, however if you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just
pick some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without-like the
radio or cigarette lighter-and use its fuse, if it is of the value you need.
Replace
it as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in this
section.
