NOTE:

To prevent excessive battery drain, use the rear

window defroster only when the engine is operating.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the rear

window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth
and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.

Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive

window cleaners on the interior surface of the
window.

Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED

The roof rack cross rails and side rails are designed to

carry cargo weight. The load must not exceed 150 lbs

(68 kg), and it should be distributed uniformly over the

cross rails. In addition, the roof rack does not increase the

total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the

total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the roof

rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
NOTE:

The roof rack side rails on your vehicle are NOT

designed to carry a load without the addition of crossbars.
Metal crossbars are offered by MOPAR® accessories to

provide a functional roof rack system. See your autho-

rized dealer.
To Move The Crossbars

1. Loosen the knobs on top of each crossbar approxi-

mately six turns to disengage the clamp tooth from the

side rail.
