seat  tracks,  doors,   liftgate  and   hood  hinges,   shou ld be
lubricated   period  ically  to  assu re  quiet,  easy   operation
and  to protect   against  rust  and  wear.  Prior  to the  appli-
cation  of  any  lubricant,   the  parts   concerned   shou ld be
wiped   clean  to  rem ove dust   and  grit;  after   lubricating
