CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains, or mildew of the top material:
•
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax build-up may
result.
•
It is recommended that the top be free of water
prior to opening it. Operating the top, opening a
door or lowering a window while the top is wet may
allow water to drip into the vehicle's interior.
•
Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure
directed at the weather strip seals may cause
water to leak into the vehicle's interior.
•
Careless handling and storage of the removable
roof panels may damage the seals, causing water
to leak into the vehicle's interior.
•
The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to
ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle's interior.
•
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle under
trees; remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to remove
them with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint.
•
Do not use pure windshield washer fluid for clean-
ing the front windshield and rear window; dilute it
to a minimum of 50% water. Only use pure wind-
shield washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
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 win-
dow, 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
protection 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 wash-
ing will eventually impact window plastic retainer
operation. 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 products are available through an autho-
rized dealer.
•
Never paste stickers, gummed labels or any tape to
the windows. Adhesives are hard to remove and may
damage the windows.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
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 can-
not 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 dam-
aged grommets may cause your carpet to interfere
with the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals and
cause a loss of vehicle control. To prevent SERI-
OUS 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 accel-
erator, 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.
