REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seat
• Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This will allowthe rear seat to fold down easily.
To Fold The Rear Seat — 2 Door Model
• Lift the seatback release lever and foldthe seatback forward.
• Slowly flip the entire seat forward.
To Raise The Rear Seat
• Lift up on the seatback to return it to the upright position.
WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be severely injured
or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is
not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause you
or others to be severely injured or killed.

NOTE:
Ensure the fabric does not overhang the
sides of the vehicle.
• To raise the soft top, perform theabove steps in the opposite order.
CAUTION!
• Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car wash. Window scratches and
wax 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 sidecurtains 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 against
the 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.

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened.
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no
data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information
if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
