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 to easily identify them from
the standard metric fasteners, which are medium blue
in color.

When replacing fasteners, avoid substituting otherwise
similar fasteners in the same location.

ANTICORROSION MATERIALS

To provide rust resistance, anticorrosion materials have
been applied to the interior surfaces of most of most
of the metal panels. When servicing these panels,
properly recoat them with a service-type anticorrosion
material if any of the original material has been
disturbed.
