Sky Slider™ Usage Precautions
NOTE:
•The system will not operate when ambient tempera-
ture is at –4°F (–20°C) or lower.
•The system will not operate at vehicle speeds of
86 mph (138 km/h) or above.
•Opening and closing the Sky Slider™ repeatedly with-
out the engine running may run the battery down.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the Sky Slider™ vehicle contents, and the vehicle
interior:
•Never attempt to open or close the Sky Slider™
when it is frozen. Wait until the Sky Slider™ is
thawed before operating.(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•Opening the Sky Slider™ when damp, wet, or
dirty can cause stains, mildew, and damage to the
soft-top material and the inside of your vehicle.
Make sure the Sky Slider™ is dry before opening.
•Always close the Sky Slider™ when leaving your
vehicle, damage to the vehicle interior can occur.
•Do not leave the Sky Slider™ open for several
weeks at a time. Close it occasionally to prevent
discoloration in the folds of the fabric and to allow
the creases to smooth out. This is especially im-
portant if the Sky Slider™ was opened when not
completely dry.

CAUTION! (Continued)
•Long loads, which extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, should be
secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle.
•Place a blanket or other protection between the
surface of the roof and the load.
•Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care-
fully when carrying large or heavy loads on the
roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or
nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward loads.
This is especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the
vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows level of fuel in tank when ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN position.
2. Fuel Door ReminderThis symbol indicates the side of the vehicle
where the fuel cap is located.
3. Low Fuel Light This indicator lights when the fuel level drops to
approximately one-eighth tank.
4. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to
