2013 JEEP WRANGLER Exhaust

WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gascontains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.
THEFT ALARM
To Arm:
•Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is open.
To Disarm:
•Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in
the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
•
A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a
collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

CAUTION!
• Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car wash. Window scratches andwax buildup may result.
• Do not lower the top when the temperature is below 41°F (5°C). Damage to the
top may result.
• Do not lower the top when the windows are dirty. Grit may scratch the window.
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been either fully attached to the
windshield frame, or fully lowered.
• The soft top is not designed to carry any additional loads such as roof racks,
spare tires, building, hunting, or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also,
it was not designed as a structural member of the vehicle and, thus, cannot
properly carry any additional loads other than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
WARNING!
•Do not drive the vehicle with the rear window curtain up unless the side curtains
are also open. Dangerous exhaust gases which can kill could enter the vehicle.
• The fabric upper doors and fabric top are designed only for protection againstthe elements. Do not rely on them to contain occupants within the vehicle or to
protect against injury during an accident. Remember, always wear seat belts.
