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.
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.
(Continued)
WARNING!
•
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 manufacturer
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 accelera-
tor, brake, or clutch pedals then re-install the floor
mats.
