Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic windows that
can be scratched unless special care is taken by following
these directions:
Never use a dry cloth to remove dust. Instead,
use a
microfiber towel or soft cotton cloth moistened with
cold or warm, clean water, and wipe across the
window, not up and down. Mopar® Jeep Soft Glass
Window Cleaner or equivalent will safely clean all the
plastic windows without scratching. It removes fine
scratches to improve visibility and provides UV protec-
tion to help prevent yellowing.
When washing,
never use hot water or anything
stronger than a mild soap. Never use solvents such as
alcohol or harsh cleaning agents.
Always rinse thoroughly with cold water, then wipe with
a soft and slightly moist, clean cloth.
When removing frost, snow, or ice,
never use a scraper
or de-icing chemicals. Use warm water only if you must
clean the window quickly.
Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from off-road
driving will have an impact on plastic retainer opera-
tion. Even normal on-road driving and vehicle washing
will eventually impact window plastic retainer opera-
tion. To maintain ease of use of the window plastic
retainers, each window plastic retainer should be
cleaned and lubricated regularly. Clean them with a
mild soap solution and a small brush. Cleaning prod-
ucts are available through an authorized dealer.
Never paste stickers, gummed labels or any tape to the
windows. Adhesives are hard to remove and may
damage the windows.
INTERIORS
CARPET SAFETY INFORMATION
Always use carpet designed to fit your vehicle. Only use
carpet that does not interfere with the operation of the
pedal assemblies. Only operate the vehicle when the
carpet is securely attached by the grommets so it cannot
slip out of position and interfere with the pedal assemblies
or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!
If operating the vehicle without carpet in place the
floor may become hot, and there is a risk of burns.
An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
damaged grommets may cause your carpet to inter-
fere with the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals and
cause a loss of vehicle control. To prevent SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH: ALWAYS securely attach your
carpet using the grommets.
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or slide into
the driver’s side floor area when the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped under acceler-
ator, brake, or clutch pedals and could cause a loss
of vehicle control.
NEVER place any objects under the carpet (e.g.,
towels, keys, etc.). These objects could change the
position of the carpet and may cause interference
with the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals.
ONLY install carpet designed to fit your vehicle.
NEVER install carpet that cannot be properly
attached and secured to your vehicle. If the carpet
needs to be replaced, only use a FCA approved
carpet for the specific make, model, and year of your
vehicle.
If the vehicle carpet has been removed and
re-installed, always properly attach carpet to the floor
and check that the floor mat fasteners are secure to
the vehicle carpet. Fully depress each pedal to check
for interference with the accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals then re-install the floor mats.
