(f) Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood latch assembly,

secondary latch, pivots, spring anchor, release pawl,

midgate hinges, side storage box door hinges, tailgate

hinges, tailgate linkage, outer tailgate handle pivot

points, latch bolt, fuel door hinge, locks, and folding seat

hardware. More frequent lubrication may be required

when exposed to a corrosive environment. Applying

silicone grease on weatherstrips with a clean cloth will

make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or

squeak.

(g) Check vent hose at transfer case for kinks and

proper installation. Check to be sure vent hose

is unobstructed, clear, and free of debris. During any

maintenance, if a power washer is used to clean

mud and dirt from the underbody, care should be taken

to not directly spray the transfer case output seals.

High pressure water can overcome the seals and

contaminate the transfer case ﬂuid. Contaminated ﬂuid

will decrease the life of the transfer case and should

be replaced.

(h) Change automatic transmission ﬂuid and ﬁlter if the

vehicle is mainly driven under one or more of these

conditions:

− In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature

regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or higher.

− In hilly or mountainous terrain.

− When doing frequent trailer towing.

− Uses such as found in taxi, police, or delivery

service.

(i) Drain, ﬂush, and reﬁll cooling system. This service

can be complex; you should have your dealer/retailer

perform this service. See Engine Coolant on page 5-25

for what to use. Inspect hoses. Clean radiator,

condenser, pressure cap, and ﬁller neck. Pressure test

the cooling system and pressure cap.

(j) A ﬂuid loss in any vehicle system could indicate a

problem. Have the system inspected and repaired and

the ﬂuid level checked. Add ﬂuid if needed.

(k) Inspect system. Check all fuel and vapor lines and

hoses for proper hook-up, routing, and condition. Check

that the purge valve works properly, if equipped.

Replace as needed.

(l) If driving regularly under dusty conditions, inspect the

ﬁlter at each engine oil change.

(m) Visually inspect belt for fraying, excessive cracks, or

obvious damage. Replace belt if necessary.

(n) Severe Service: Change transfer case ﬂuid if the

vehicle is mainly used for trailer towing or driven in city

traffic, wet environment, or high ambient temperatures.
