Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models
To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's
interior trim and top, follow these precautions:
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax build-up may
result.
Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended with the
top down, as exposure to sun or rain may
damage interior trim.
Do not use harsh cleaners or bleaching agents
on top material, as damage may result.
Do not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down and
dry on the paint, leaving a streak.
After cleaning your vehicle's fabric top, always
make sure it is completely dry before lowering.
Be especially careful when washing the
windows by following the directions for “Care of
Fabric Top Windows.”
Washing – Use Mopar® Car Wash or equivalent, or
mild soap suds, lukewarm water, and a brush with
soft bristles. If extra cleaning is required, use
Mopar® Convertible Cloth Top Cleaner or
equivalent, or a mild foaming cleaner on the entire
top, but support the top from underneath.
Rinsing – Be sure to remove all traces of cleaner by
rinsing the top thoroughly with clean water.
Remember to allow the top to dry before
lowering it.Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic
windows that can be scratched unless special care
is taken by following these directions:
Never use a dry cloth to remove dust. Instead,
use a microfiber towel or soft cotton cloth moist -
ened with cold or warm, clean water, and wipe
across the window, not up and down. Mopar®
Jeep® Soft Glass Window Cleaner or equivalent
will safely clean all the plastic windows without
scratching. It removes fine scratches to improve
visibility and provides UV protection to help
prevent yellowing.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause
interior water damage, stains, or mildew of the
top material:
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic
car wash. Window scratches and wax build-up
may result.
It is recommended that the top be free of
water prior to opening it. Operating the top,
opening a door or lowering a window while the
top is wet may allow water to drip into the
vehicle’s interior.
Use care when washing the vehicle, water
pressure directed at the weather strip seals
may cause water to leak into the vehicle’s
interior.
Careless handling and storage of the remov -
able roof panels may damage the seals,
causing water to leak into the vehicle’s inte -
rior.
The front panel(s) must be positioned properly
to ensure sealing. Improper installation can
cause water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle
under trees; remove vegetable resins immedi -
ately as, when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as they
could alter the typical opaqueness of the
paint.
Do not use pure windshield washer fluid for
cleaning the front windshield and rear
window; dilute it to a minimum of 50% water.
Only use pure windshield washer fluid when
strictly necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
CAUTION!

(Continued)
When washing, never use hot water or anything
stronger than a mild soap. Never use solvents
such as alcohol or harsh cleaning agents.
Always rinse thoroughly with cold water, then
wipe with a soft and slightly moist, clean cloth.
When removing frost, snow, or ice, never use a
scraper or de-icing chemicals. Use warm water
only if you must clean the window quickly.
Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from
off-road driving will have an impact on plastic
retainer operation. Even normal on-road driving
and vehicle washing will eventually impact
window plastic retainer operation. To maintain
ease of use of the window plastic retainers,
each window plastic retainer should be cleaned
and lubricated regularly. Clean them with a mild
soap solution and a small brush. Cleaning prod -
ucts are available through an authorized dealer.
Never paste stickers, gummed labels or any
tape to the windows. Adhesives are hard to
remove and may damage the windows.
INTERIORS
CARPET SAFETY INFORMATION
Always use carpet designed to fit your vehicle. Only
use carpet that does not interfere with the
operation of the pedal assemblies. Only operate
the vehicle when the carpet is securely attached by
the grommets so it cannot slip out of position and
interfere with the pedal assemblies or impair safe
operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!
If operating the vehicle without carpet in place
the floor may become hot, and there is a risk
of burns.
An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
damaged grommets may cause your carpet to
interfere with the accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals and cause a loss of vehicle control. To
prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH: ALWAYS
securely attach your carpet using the grom -
mets.
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or slide
into the driver’s side floor area when the
vehicle is moving. Objects can become
trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle
control.
NEVER place any objects under the carpet
(e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects could
change the position of the carpet and may
cause interference with the accelerator,
brake, or clutch pedals.
ONLY install carpet designed to fit your
vehicle. NEVER install carpet that cannot be
properly attached and secured to your vehicle.
If the carpet needs to be replaced, only use
manufacturer approved carpet for the specific
make, model, and year of your vehicle.
If the vehicle carpet has been removed and
re-installed, always properly attach carpet to
the floor and check that the floor mat
fasteners are secure to the vehicle carpet.
Fully depress each pedal to check for interfer -
ence with the accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals then re-install the floor mats.
WARNING!

GASOLINE/OXYGENATE BLENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with
oxygenates such as ethanol.
Problems that result from using gasoline
containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15) or
gasoline containing methanol are not the
responsibility of the manufacturer and may void
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
DO NOT USE E-85 IN NON-FLEX FUEL
V
EHICLES
Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible with
gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E-15). Use
of gasoline with higher ethanol content may void
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with
E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these
symptoms:
Operate in a lean mode.
OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on.
Poor engine performance.
Poor cold start and cold drivability.
Increased risk for fuel system component corro
-
sion.
CNG AND LP FUEL SYSTEM
M
ODIFICATIONS
Modifications that allow the engine to run on
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquid Propane
(LP) may result in damage to the engine,
emissions, and fuel system components. Problems
that result from running CNG or LP are not the
responsibility of the manufacturer and may void
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
METHYLCYCLOPENTADIENYL
M
ANGANESE TRICARBONYL (MMT) IN
G
ASOLINE
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive
that is blended into some gasolines to increase
octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no
performance advantage beyond gasoline of the
same octane number without MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and
reduces emissions system performance in some
vehicles. The manufacturer recommends that
gasoline without MMT be used in your vehicle. The
MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on
the gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask your
gasoline retailer whether the gasoline contains
MMT. MMT is prohibited in Federal law and
California reformulated gasoline.
FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS
CAUTION!
DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing methanol,
or gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol
(E-15). Use of these blends may result in starting
and drivability problems, damage critical fuel
system components, cause emissions to exceed
the applicable standard, and/or cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate. Please
observe pump labels as they should clearly
communicate if a fuel contains greater than
15% ethanol (E-15).
CAUTION!
Follow these guidelines to maintain your
vehicle’s performance:
The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by
Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can impair
engine performance and damage the emis
-
sions control system.
An out-of-tune engine, certain fuel or ignition
malfunctions can cause the catalytic
converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent
burning odor or some light smoke, your engine
may be out-of-tune or malfunctioning and may
require immediate service. Contact an autho -
rized dealer for service assistance.
