tailgate, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubri-
cated periodically with a lithium based grease such as

tion and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to the
application of any lubricant, the parts concerned should
be wiped clean to remove dust and grit; after lubricating
excess oil and grease should be removed. Particular

indicates a problem in the circuit that must be
corrected.
