Step Two
FOLDING WINDSHIELD
The fold-down windshield on your vehicle is a structural
element that can provide some protection in some
accidents. The windshield also provides some protection
against weather, road debris and intrusion of small
branches and other objects.
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down, as you lose the protection this structural element
can provide.
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.

CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the screws. You can strip the screws
if they are overtightened.
CAUTION!
Lowering of the windshield is NOT recommended in
vehicles equipped with a Power Sliding Top. Damage
will occur to the top as well as the header seal.
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 windshield is
securely fastened, either up or down.
Eye protection, such as goggles, should be worn at all
times when the windshield is down.
