Hinges and latches for doors, hood and trunk lid (or tailgate) should be lubricated every 5000 km or every three months. This is done by introducing a few drops of liquid oil or a special lubricant for locks into them. The strikers should be lightly lubricated with grease to reduce wear and ensure trouble-free operation. To lubricate the door locks and the tailgate/tailgate, it is recommended to use a special graphite grease supplied in aerosol cans.
