through the rear window. A two-point pivot system
allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the
mirror.Annoying headlight glare can be reduced by moving the
small control under the mirror to the night position
(toward rear of vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while set in the day position (toward windshield).

Outside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s)
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.WARNING!
•Vehicles and other objects seen in the right side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your
right side mirror could cause you to collide with
another vehicle or other object.
•Use your inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in the right side mirror.
Outside Rear View Mirror
86 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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.

start when in 4L without having to depress the clutch
pedal. The “4WD Indicator Light” will illuminate when
the transfer case has been shifted into this mode.

or P (Park) position. Apply the brake before shifting to
any driving range.

closed areas they may cause respiratory harm.
Glass Surfaces

with MoparGlass Cleaner or any commercial
household-type glass cleaner. Never use an abrasive type
cleaner. Use caution when cleaning inside rear windows

other sharp instruments which may scratch the elements.

directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are
molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care
must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be
used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a clean damp
rag.
2. Dry with a soft tissue.
