UBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points
and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding
doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based grease, such
as Mopar Spray White Lube to ensure quiet,
easy operation 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
attention should also be given to hood latching
components to ensure proper function. When
performing other underhood services, the hood
latch, release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Fall and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly
into the lock cylinder.

Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades, the
windshield, and rear window periodically with a
sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive
cleaner. This will remove accumulations of salt,
waxes, or road film, and help reduce streaking
and smearing.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield or rear window.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
ice from the windshield or rear window. Make
sure that they are not frozen to the glass before
turning them on to avoid damaging the blade.
Keep the wiper blade out of contact with
petroleum products such as engine oil,
gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical area and frequency
of use. Poor performance of blades may be
present with chattering, marks, water lines, or
wet spots. If any of these conditions are
present, clean the wiper blades or replace as
necessary.
Blade Lifting
If it is necessary to lift the blade from the
windshield (in the event of snow or blade
replacement) proceed as directed:
1. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to
the OFF position.
2. Turn the ignition to the MAR-ON position
then to STOP.

Vehicle Limited Warranty.
