nents to insu re prop er function. When perform ing other
und erhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism
and safety catch shou ld be cleaned and lubricated .
Avoid using the wiper blad es to wipe frost or ice from the
wind shield . Keep the blad e rubber out of contact with
petroleu m prod ucts such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Windshield Washers — Front and Rear
The external lock cylind ers shou ld be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mop ar Lock
Cylind er Lubricant directly into the lock cylind er.
On vehicles equ ipped with a Vehicle Inform ation Center,
the low washer fluid level will be ind icated . When the
sensor detects a low fluid level, the wind shield will light
on the vehicle grap hic outline and the “Washer Fluid
Low” message will be displayed .
Windshield Wiper Blades
The rubber edges of the wiper blad es and the wind shield
shou ld be cleaned period ically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner to rem ove accumulations
of salt or road film.
The fluid reservoir for the wind shield washers and the
rear wind ow washer is shared . It is located in the front of
the engine compartm ent on the passenger side and
shou ld be checked for fluid level at regu lar intervals. Fill
the reservoir with wind shield washer solvent (not rad ia-
tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few second s
to flush out the resid ual water.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long period s
may cause deterioration of the wiper blad es. Alw ays use
washer fluid when using the wipers to rem ove salt or dirt
from a dry wind shield .
