Interior Trim Preparation







INTERIOR TRIM PREPARATION

For short term storage refer to Owner's Manual.

On a vehicle that is to be stored for 90 days or longer the following procedures are recommended to minimize environmental effects on mechanical components and painted or upholstered surfaces.

- Empty and wash ash receiver.
- Remove any articles from interior of vehicle that can emit odors.
- Vacuum clean carpeted areas in passenger compartment and trunk.
- In humid regions, suspend a desiccant bag from the rear view mirror to absorb the moisture from the air inside of the vehicle.
- Clean leather upholstery with Mopar(R) Total Clean, or equivalent, and allow to dry overnight before closing vehicle.
- If desired, dress the vinyl and leather interior components with Mopar(R) Leather and Vinyl Protector, or equivalent. For deep cleaning and restoring oils to leather upholstery, use a leather balm that is available at most leather goods retailers.
