If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers,
de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well
packaged and sealed.

mud or stone shields behind each wheel.

Use MOPAR® Touch Up Paint on scratches as soon as
possible. Your authorized dealer has touch up paint to
match the color of your vehicle.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and
chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly with
a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use
MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent or select a non-
abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
•
For chrome wheels, use MOPAR® Chrome Cleaner
(Part#04318013) or equivalent.
•
For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner
(Part# 04796239AB) or equivalent.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush,
or metal polishes. Do not use oven cleaner. These
products may damage the wheel’s protective finish.
Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions
or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel’s pro-
tective finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or
equivalent is recommended.
