Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.
Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.

could result in excessive engine wear.
This air filter may be cleaned with

foreign particles. Each time you inspect it,
wipe inside the air cleaner housing with a
damp cloth.

If the vehicle is operated in very dusty
or sandy areas, replace the filter more
often than the recommended intervals.
