[Dagger] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle's useful life. We, however, urge that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded.

# Lubricate the chassis components with each engine oil and filter change. Lubricate the front suspension, ball joints, steering linkage. transmission shift linkage, transfer case shift linkage, parking brake cable guides, and brake front axle. Ball joints should not be lubricated unless their temperature is -12°C (10°F) or higher, or they could be damaged.

+ A good time to check the brakes is during tire rotation. Refer to Brake System Inspection.
