How wildcards work

Wildcards 

We use wildcards to recall information from the system and avoid manually typing out every possible combination of vehicle that exists. The wildcards will work in most placements; however, for content that is culled from the catalog (the Lookbook, namely) wildcards will not work. 

 

When using wildcards in copy, specifically the vehicle-related ones, it is a good idea to figure out what the longest vehicle name is (full fitment) because that total number of characters is what counts towards the max character count.
