Hinges and locks — maintenance
Once every 3000 miles, or every three months, the hinges and latch assemblies on the doors, hood and liftgate should be given a few drops of light oil or lock lubricant. The door latch strikers should also be lubricated with a thin coat of grease to reduce wear and ensure free movement. Lubricate the door and liftgate locks with spray-on graphite lubricant.
