GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
(Continued)
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 windshield is
securely fastened, either up or down.
Eye protection, such as goggles, should be worn at all
times when the windshield is down.
Be sure that you carefully follow the instructions for
raising the windshield. Make sure that the folding
windshield, windshield wipers, side bars, and all
associated hardware and fasteners are correctly and
tightly assembled before driving your vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions may prevent your vehicle
from providing you and your passengers’ protection
in some accidents.
If you remove the doors, store them outside the
vehicle. In the event of an accident, a loose door may
cause personal injury.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
Failure to follow this step will cause damage to the
vehicle’s header seal.
