Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down and the side bars removed as you lose the protec-
tion these structural elements can provide.

NOTE:

Before lowering windshield, disconnect the elec-

trical connector for the inside Compass/Temperature
mirror (if equipped).

NOTE:

The windshield wiper arm and blade assemblies

must be removed prior to lowering the windshield, this
can be done by sliding out the attachment clip and gently
rocking the arm until it loosens, the wiper arms must be
returned to their “Park” positions when the windshield is
returned to its upright position.

If required for certain off-road uses, the side bars can be
removed and the windshield folded down. However, the
protection afforded by these features is then lost. If you
remove the side bars and fold down the windshield,
drive slowly and cautiously. It is recommended that the

speed of the vehicle be limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), with
low range operation preferred, if you are driving off-road
with the windshield folded down.

Raise the windshield and reinstall the side bars as soon as
the task that required their removal is completed and
before you return to on-road driving. Both you and your
passenger should wear seat belts at all times, on-road and
off-road, regardless of whether the windshield is raised
or folded down.

Outside rear view mirrors are mounted on the doors. If
you choose to remove the doors, see your authorized
dealer for a replacement cowl-mounted outside mirror.
Federal law requires outside mirrors on vehicles for
on-road use.

NOTE:

If the doors are removed, the courtesy lights will

remain on. To turn these lights off, remove fuse #4 in the
fuse panel. Refer to “Fuse Panel” in Section 7 of this
manual. (See page 305 for more information.)
