Air Conditioning
Every now and then have your dealership check your air conditioning
system
to
be sure it has not lost any cooling ability. If you think the system
is not working properly, have your dealership check it out as soon as
possible.
The air conditioning will not work when the temperature
is
below
40°F
(4°C).
Lock Cylinders
To
be sure your locks operate properly, they must be lubricated.
Refer
to
the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine how often to lubricate them
and what type
of
lubricant to use.
You should not use penetrating oils because they could wash out the factory
installed lubricant and cause the lock to bind. De-icers which contain
alcohol could also wash away the lubricant,
so
be sure to lubricate the lock
after using a de-icer of this type.
