washer fluid is dangerous. If
sprayed on the windshield, it will
dirty the windshield, affect your
visibility, and could result in an
accident. Use only windshield
washer fluid or plain water in the
reservoir.

All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks,
should be lubricated each time the

nonfreezing lubricant on locks during

secondary latch keeps the hood from
opening when the primary latch is
released.

affect the cleanability of windows.Contamination of either the windshield
or the blades with foreign matter can
reduce wiper effectiveness. Common
sources are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent; then
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary.
CAUTION
!
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, don’
t use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
