Doors are heavy; use caution when removing
them.
Hinge pin can break if overtightened during
door reinstall (Max Torque: 7.5 ft· lb /
10 N·m). For off-road driving tips, see
Ú page 202.
When front doors are removed, the message
“Blind Spot Alert Temporarily Unavailable”
will display in the instrument cluster display.
Power Mirrors and Power Door Locks will also
be unavailable.

WARNING!
Do not drive your vehicle on public roads with
the doors removed as you will lose the protec-
tion they can provide. This procedure is fur-
nished for use during off-road operation only.
WARNING!
All occupants must wear seat belts during
off-road operation with doors removed. For
off-road driving tips, see Ú page 202.
Do not store detached doors inside of the
vehicle, as they may cause personal injury
in the event of an accident.
