To open the hood, first pull
the handle inside the vehicle.
Then go to the front of the vehicle and pull up on the
secondary hood release, located just to the passenger's
side of the center of the grill.
Lift the hood.
Before closing the hood, be sure all filler caps are on
properly. Pull down the hood and close it firmly.

Also look for any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace blade
inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see ªWiper Blades,
Cleaningº in the Index.
Air Cleaner Filter Restriction Indicator Check
Your vehicle has an indicator on the engine that lets you
know when the air cleaner filter is dirty and needs to be
changed. Check indicator at least twice a year or when
your oil is changed, whichever occurs first. See ªAir
Cleanerº in the Index for more information. Inspect your
air cleaner filter restriction indicator more often if the
vehicle is used in dusty areas or under off road conditions.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather more frequent application may be
required. (See ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº in
the Index.)Automatic Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
ªAutomatic Transmissionº in the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
At Least Once a Year
