WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch
and allow the wipers to return to the park position
before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is
left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield,
damage to the wiper motor may occur when the
vehicle is restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be-
tween cycles, desirable. Move the lever to the DELAY
position, then select the delay interval by turning the end
of the lever. The delay can be regulated from a maximum
of approximately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle
every second.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Move the lever upward to the second detent for LO speed
wiper operation, or to the third detent for HI speed
operation

Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will operate for two wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the wipers
will operate for as long as the lever is held plus two wipe
cycles, then turn OFF.
Mist Feature
Push down on the wiper lever to activate a single wipe to
clear off road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. As
long as the lever is held down, the wipers will continue
to operate.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
To tilt the column, push down on the lever below the turn
signal control and move the wheel up or down, as
desired. Pull the lever back upwards to lock the column
firmly in place.

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 ve-
hicle. In the event of an accident, a loose door may
cause personal injury.
Lowering the Windshield and Removing Side
Bars
1. Lower the fabric top or remove the hard top following
the instructions in this manual.
2. Remove the sun visors, if desired. Store the sun visors.

9. Secure the windshield by passing the remaining cinch
strap, found in the glove box, through the footman hoop
on the center of the hood and on the center of the
windshield frame. Tighten the strap to secure the wind-
shield in place.Raising The Windshield And Replacing Side Bars
To raise the windshield, install the windshield wipers,
and install the side bars use these same steps in reverse.
WARNING!
To help protect against personal injury, always in-
stall the side bars when raising the windshield on
your vehicle. If you do not raise the windshield and
install the side bars, you lose the protection these
structural elements provide in some accidents.

Driveline And Steering Component Lubrication
U-joints (cardan joints) are sealed and do not require
lubrication. Prop shafts, yokes, ball joints and other
driveline and steering components may be provided with
grease fittings for lubrication. Lubrication of these com-
ponents at the intervals specified in the appropriate
“Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 is very important,
particularly if your vehicle is subjected to off-road or
other heavy-duty use. See your authorized dealer for
complete service information.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as
seat tracks, doors, tailgate and hood hinges, should be
lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation
and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to the appli-
cation of any lubricant, the parts concerned should be
wiped clean to remove dust and grit; after lubricating
excess oil and grease should be removed. Particular attention should also be given to hood latching compo-
nents to insure proper function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism
and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopar
Lock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild non-abrasive cleaner. This will remove accumula-
tions of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods
may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt
from a dry windshield. Avoid using the wiper blades to
