Lubrication of joints and assemblies (Fiesta 4)

Lubrication helps reduce friction between parts. On hinges and assemblies with narrow passages where lubricant cannot penetrate, use a lubricant spray. Rubbing surfaces are best lubricated with oil or a lubricating spray.

Lubricate surfaces rubbing against each other with lubricating paste or silicone product.

The hinge joints on the doors, bonnet and trunk lid are lubricated with a lubricant spray.

Door locking mechanisms are lubricated with universal grease.

The latches of the locks on the doors, hood and trunk lid are treated with aerosol lubricant or paste. Where the cables are visible, for example on the hood locking plate, apply a small amount of lubricant and lubricate the cable by moving the lever several times (the lubricant should get under the cable sheath).

In winter, lubricate the lock splines and cylinders with a special anti-corrosion lubricant. The lubricant not only protects against moisture penetration, but also has an anti-icing effect, which makes it easier to open the locks in frosty weather. It is best to pour an anti-freeze agent into the locks in cold weather.

The bonnet retaining bracket is lubricated with oil on the lower support bolt.

Lubricate the bonnet hinge with oil or treat with a lubricating spray.
