SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
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.
