Special Care
●
If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive
near the ocean, hose off the undercarriage at least
once a month.
●
It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges
of the doors, rocker panels, and trunk be kept clear
and open.
●
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the
paint, touch them up immediately.
●
If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision or
similar cause that destroys the paint and protective
coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as
possible.
●
If you carry special cargo such as chemicals,
fertilizers, de-icer 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.
●
Use Mopar® Touch Up Paint on scratches as soon as
possible. An authorized dealer has touch up paint to
match the color of your vehicle.
Spray-On Bedliner – If Equipped
During ownership, the shine and luster of the Spray-
On Bedliner can fade from oxidation, road dirt, heavy-
duty hauling and hard water stains. Weathering and UV
exposure will lead to fading.
To help maintain the appearance of your Spray-
On Bedliner, the manufacturer recommends you
periodically rinse all loose dirt from your truck bed
and clean your truck at least twice per year using the
Mopar® Spray-On Bedliner Conditioner available at a
local authorized dealer.
To Help Maintain The Appearance Of Your Spray-On
Bedliner
1. Rinse your truck bed out with water to remove any
loose dirt and debris.
2. Mix a mild soap or detergent with water. Then
apply solution with a soft cloth or brush.
3. Rinse bedliner with water.
4. Once dry, apply a small amount of Mopar® Spray-
On Bedliner Conditioner to a moist towel or sponge
and wipe over the entire surface of the truck
bedliner.
WARNING!
Do not use silicon-based protection products to clean
your bedliner. Silicon-based products can become
slippery and may result in personal injury.
Spray-On Bedliners are chemically-resistant to many
different types of chemicals (including gasoline, oil,
hydraulic fluids) for short periods of time. If a spill
occurs on your Spray-On Bedliner, rinse the truck out
as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage.
Repairing The Spray-On Bedliner
While extremely tough, it is possible to damage a Spray-
On Bedliner. One common condition is when loading a
heavy pallet and dragging that pallet across the floor of
the bed. If a nail or sharp point is exposed under the
weight of the pallet a scratch or tear is possible. While
not covered by your new vehicle warranty, a cosmetic fix
to cover the metal exposed by the scratch is required.
To repair a tear or gouge, follow the directions provided
in the Mopar® Quick Repair Kit.
