Service Instruction Maintenance
Lubricate body components. Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood latch assemblies, secondary latches, pivots,
spring anchor and release pawl, hood and door hinges, rear folding seats, and lift-
gate hinges.
 More frequent lubrication may be required when exposed to a corrosive environ-
ment such as winter road salt.
 Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.•
Inspect passenger compart-
ment air filter. Replace the air filter, if necessary.
 If you drive regularly under dusty conditions, the filter may require replacement
more often.•
Inspect throttle system. Check system for interference or binding and for damaged or missing parts.
 Replace parts as needed.
