system. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings ” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's
Manual on the DVD for further details.

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 the following MOPAR® wheel cleaners are
recommended or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
For chrome wheels, use MOPAR® Chrome Cleaner or equivalent.
For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent.
Dark Vapor Chrome Wheels — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor Chrome wheelsUSE ONLY MILD SOAP AND
WATER WITH A SOFT CLOTH.
Used on a regular basis this is all that is required to maintain this finish.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abrasives or polishing compounds. They will permanently
damage this finish and void your warranty.
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 protective
finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
