MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON­VEHICLE SERVICE LUBRICATION
The hood hinges and the locking mechanisms require periodic lubrication for proper operation. Refer to Section 0B, General Information for the specific types and intervals of lubrication.

FASTENERS
Notice : Dissimilar metals in direct contact with each other may corrode rapidly. Make sure to use the correct fasteners to prevent premature corrosion. Many aluminum components are used on current models. Aluminum in contact with steel may corrode rapidly if it is not protected by special finishes or isolators. The fasteners used have a special finish which provides adequate protection from corrosion. These special fasteners differ in color in order to easily identify them from the standard metric fasteners, which are medium blue. When replacing fasteners, avoid substituting otherwise similar fasteners in the same location.

ANTICORROSION MATERIALS
In order to provide rust resistance, anticorrosion materials have been applied to the interior surfaces of most of the metal panels. When you service these panels, properly recoat them with a service­type anticorrosion material if any of the original material has been disturbed.

FRONT END SEALING
All locations where waterleaks may occur are sealed during production with high quality, durable sealers. If it becomes necessary to reseal specific areas, use a high­ quality sealer of medium­bodied consistency which will retain its flexible characteristics after curing and can be painted, if necessary.
