MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 231 • Use Mopar touch up paint on scratches or chips as soon as possible. Your dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. • If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and protective coating have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner. • Aluminum wheels should be cleaned regularly with mild soap and water to prevent corrosion. To remove heavy soil, select a non abrasive, non acidic cleaner. Do not use scouring pads or metal polishes. Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheels' protective finish. • Your painted and chrome aluminum wheels should be treated as you would treat the finish on your car. Always use a soft non-abrasive cloth with a mild dish washing soap and water when cleaning your wheels. Never use scouring pads, steel wool or a bristle brush. Never use cleaners that contain acid, oven cleaners or any abrasive metal cleaner as they will cause permanent staining and/or corrosion. • If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, deicer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. Interior Care Use Mopar Fabric Cleaner to clean fabric upholstery and carpeting. Use Mopar Vinyl Cleaner to clean vinyl or leather upholstery. Mopar Vinyl Cleaner is specifically recommended for vinyl trim. Use mild (Ivory Flake) solution to clean all surfaces. Wipe with clear water and soft (lint free) cloth. Do not use cleaners, conditioners and protectants containing silicon or bleach as these may cause gloss level increases and/or discoloration. 7
