Lubrication
Hood hinges and locking mechanisms require periodic lubrication to function properly. For specific lubrication types and lubrication intervals, see section 0B, General Information
Clamps; connections; fastenings
Note: Direct contact of dissimilar metals may result in rapid corrosion. Use proper fasteners to avoid premature corrosion.
Many aluminum components are used in existing models. When in contact with steel, aluminum can quickly corrode unless it is protected by special coatings or insulating materials.
The fasteners used have a special coating that provides adequate protection against corrosion. These special fasteners are color-coded to make them easier to distinguish from standard metric fasteners, which are a light blue color.
When replacing fasteners, avoid substituting similar fasteners in the same place.
Anti-corrosion materials
To ensure corrosion resistance, anti-corrosion materials are applied to the interior surfaces of most metal panels. When servicing these panels, properly coat them with repair anti-corrosion material if the coating of the original materials has been damaged.
Front body seal
During the manufacturing process, all areas where leaks may occur are sealed with high-quality, durable sealants. If there is a need to re-seal certain areas, a high-quality sealant of medium-thick consistency should be used, which retains its plastic properties after drying and can be painted if necessary.
