lever. For information on using the rear win-
dow wiper/washer, refer to “Rear Window
Wiper/Washer” in this section for more infor-
mation.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent settings
for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end
of the lever upward to the third detent past
the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the engine.
If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is
restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather con-
ditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable pause between cycles, desirable. Ro-
tate the end of the lever to the first detent
position for one of five intermittent settings.
The delay cycle can be set anywhere between
1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle
speed. If the vehicle is moving less than
10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be
doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you
and hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will
start and continue to operate for two or three
wipe cycles after the lever is released. Then,
the intermittent interval previously selected
will resume.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position,
the wipers will operate for two or three wipe
cycles. Then, the wipers will turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles.
To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the wind-
shield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
Mist Feature
Push down on the wiper lever to activate a
single wipe to clear off road mist or spray
from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is
held down, the wipers will continue to oper-
ate.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash func-
tion must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of
the rear window. Do not use abrasive
window cleaners on the interior surface
of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel
to the heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with warm
water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from
the window.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-
tions, such as leaves. Leaves collected in the
air intake may reduce airflow, and if they
enter the plenum, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The climate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Contact an autho-
rized dealer to service your cabin air filter,
and to have it replaced when needed.
POWER WINDOWS — IF
EQUIPPED
The power window switches are located on
the instrument panel below the radio. Push
the switch downward to open the window and
upward to close the window.
The top left switch controls the left front
window and the top right switch controls the
right front window.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a ve-
hicle, and do not let children play with
power windows. Do not leave the key fob in
or near the vehicle, or in a location acces-
sible to children. Occupants, particularly
WARNING!
unattended children, can become en-
trapped by the windows while operating
the power window switches. Such entrap-
ment may result in serious injury or death.

of the vehicle.
• To raise the soft top, perform the above
steps in the opposite order.WARNING!
• Do not drive the vehicle with the rear
window curtain up unless the side cur-
tains 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 pro-
tect against injury during an accident.

• Do not run a fabric top through an auto-
matic car wash. Window scratches and
wax buildup may result.
• Do not lower the top when the tempera-
ture 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.
CAUTION!

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 camp-
ing 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
