GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 111
(Continued)
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the
windshield down, as you lose the protection this
structural element provides.
If required for certain off-road uses, the windshield
can be folded down. However, the protection
afforded by the windshield is then lost. If you 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 as soon as the task that
required its removal is completed and before you
return to on-road driving. Both you and your
passengers should wear seat belts at all times,
on-road and off-road, regardless of whether the
windshield is raised or folded down.
LOWERING THE WINDSHIELD
1. Before completing the steps below:
If your vehicle is equipped with a soft top,
the top MUST be lowered Ú page 87, and
the door frames must be removed
Ú page 108 prior to lowering the wind-
shield.
If your vehicle is equipped with a hard top,
the Freedom Panels MUST be removed
prior to lowering the windshield
Ú page 100.
2. Manually remove the protective caps over the
windshield wiper hex bolts.
Step Two
3. Using the provided 15 mm socket, remove the
two hex bolts and remove the wiper arms.
4. Move to the inside of the vehicle and lower
both sun visors.
WARNING!
Carefully follow these warnings to help protect
against personal injury:
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the
windshield down.
Do not drive your vehicle unless the wind-
shield is securely fastened, either up or down.
Eye protection, such as goggles, should be
worn at all times when the windshield is down.
Be sure that you carefully follow the instruc-
tions for raising the windshield. Make sure
that the folding windshield, windshield wipers,
side bars, and all associated hardware and
fasteners are correctly and tightly assembled
before driving your vehicle. Failure to follow
these instructions may prevent your vehicle
from providing you and your passengers’
protection in some accidents.
If you remove the doors, store them outside
the vehicle. In the event of an accident, a
loose door may cause personal injury.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
Failure to follow this step will cause damage to
the vehicle’s header seal.
