25. Close the header latches and return the sun visors to
their secured position.FOLDING WINDSHIELD
The fold down windshield and removable side bars on
your vehicle are structural elements that can provide
some protection in some accidents. The windshield also
provides some protection against weather, road debris
and intrusion of small branches and other objects.
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down and the side bars removed as you lose the protec-
tion these structural elements can provide.
If required for certain off-road uses, the side bars can be
removed and the windshield folded down. However, the
protection afforded by these features is then lost. If you
remove the side bars and 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 and reinstall the side bars as soon as
the task that required their removal is completed and
before you return to on-road driving. Both you and your
passenger should wear seat belts at all times, on-road and
off-road, regardless of whether the windshield is raised
or folded down.
Outside rear view mirrors are mounted on the doors. If
you choose to remove the doors, see your authorized
dealer for a replacement cowl-mounted outside mirror.
Federal law requires outside mirrors on vehicles for
on-road use.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 wind-
shield, windshield wipers, side bars, and all associated
hardware and fasteners are correctly and tightly as-
sembled before driving your vehicle. Failure to follow
these instructions may prevent your vehicle from provid-
ing 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.
