CAUTION!
Do not remove the head impact foam from the side
bars, as damage to the foam may result.

the cinch straps, found in the glove box. Attach the straps
through the footman loops located in the floor behind the
folded rear seat on each side of the vehicle.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you carry the side
bars loose in your vehicle. Remove the bars from the
vehicle or securely store them as described or they
may cause personal injury if an accident occurs. See
your authorized dealer for replacement if the cinch
straps are not found in the glove box.

“lock” position. Then, using a small flat tool such as a
screw driver, release the retaining clip from the top of the
wiper arm. Lift the wiper arms off and store in center
console or securely behind the rear seat.

The fuse panel is located behind the glove box. To access the fuse panel the glove box must be removed.
It is removed by slipping the glove box strap off the hook
and letting the door roll down off its hinges. To reinstall,
position the glove box door at an 8 o’clock orientation,
engage the hinge hook formations on the lower edge of
the glove box door with the hinge pins on the lower edge
of the instrument panel. Tilt the upper edge of the glove
box door upward toward the instrument panel enough to
reattach the glove box strap to the door. Rotate glove box
door to closed position. Open and close to insure proper
installation.
