Maintenance and Care
• Insert the end of a cross-head
screwdriver into the bumper hole
in the lower part of the fog lamp
housing.
• Turn the screwdriver handle
clockwise to lower the beam
(
DOWN ), counterclockwise to lift it
( UP ).
• Once the adjustment is finished,
remount the fog lamp frame,
centering it in the seat with the
longer upper and lower appendices.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points,
including such items as seat tracks,
door hinge pivot points and rollers,
liftgate, sliding parts of power sunroof
(if foreseen) and hood hinges, should
be lubricated periodically with a
lithium-based grease. This action is
essential to preserve the original
operation of these components and to
protect them 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 maintenance in the
engine compartment, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated. The
coupling pin of the lock on the rear
driver door pillar must be lubricated
at least twice a year, preferably in the
Fall and Spring. Apply a small amount
of high quality lubricant directly on
the bolt.
