HOOD LOCK RELEASE MECHANISM AND

SAFETY CATCH

The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch

should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated as required

to maintain ease of operation and to provide protection

against rust and wear. Apply Multipurpose Grease NLGI

Grade 2 sparingly to all sliding contact areas of the hood

latch and release lever. Work lubricant into the hood lock

mechanism until all frictional surfaces are covered.

Also, apply a film of the same lubricant to the pivot

contact areas of the safety catch.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

WARNING!

Carbon monoxide gas found in the vehicle’s exhaust

is poisonous. Inhalation of exhaust fumes can cause

unconsciousness or death.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into

the vehicle interior is a properly maintained engine

exhaust system.

Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of theexhaust

system; when exhaust fumes can be detected inside the

vehicle; or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is

damaged, have a competent technician inspect the com-

plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken,

damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.

In addition inspect the exhaust system each time the

vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as

required.

Open seams or loose connections could permit danger-

ous exhaust fumes to seep into the trunk and passenger

compartments.

Do this service when performing underbody service.

Check for any of the following conditions:

1. Check for holes or exhaust gas leakage caused by

corrosion or damage.

2. Check the joints and connections for looseness or

exhaust gas leakage.

3. Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.
