FOLDING WINDSHIELD
The fold-down windshield on your vehicle is a
structural element that can provide protection
in some accidents. The windshield also
provides 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 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.
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.
