sitting position.
60/40 SPLIT FOLDING REAR SEAT —
F
OUR DOOR MODELS
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be
folded flat to allow for extended cargo space.
NOTE:
 Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and posi -
tioned forward. This will allow the rear seat to fold down
easily.
 The center head restraints must be in the lowest posi-
tion to avoid contact with the center console when
folding the seat.
To Fold Down The Rear Seat
There are two release levers located on each upper
outboard side of the rear seat. The larger of the two
release levers folds down the seat and the head restraint
simultaneously. The smaller lever folds down the head
restraint independently for improved visibility.
To fold the seat, lift upward on the large release lever and
slowly fold down the seatback. The head restraint will fold
automatically with the seat when this lever is pulled.

Seatback Release Lever

NOTE:You may experience deformation in the seat cushion from
the seat belt buckles if the seats are left folded for an
extended period of time. This is normal. By simply
unfolding the seats to the open position, the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape over time.
To Raise The Rear Seat
Raise the seatback and lock it into place. Then, raise the
head restraint until it locks into place. If interference from
the cargo area prevents the seatback from fully locking,
you will have difficulty returning the seat to its proper
position.

LOWERING THE SOFT TOP INTO
S
UNRIDER® POSITION
Use this QR code to access your digital
experience. If the temperature is below 72°F (24°C) and/or the top
has been folded down for a period of time, the top will
appear to have shrunk when you raise it, making it difficult
to put up. This is caused by a natural contraction of the
vinyl or acrylic materials of the fabric top.
Place the vehicle in a warm area. Pull steadily on the top
fabric. The vinyl will stretch back to its original size and the
top can then be installed.
If the temperature is 41°F (5°C)
or below, do not attempt to put the top down or roll the
rear or side curtains.
WARNING!
 The fabric quarter windows 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 acci -
dent. Remember, always wear seat belts.
 Make sure hands and fingers are clear of all pinch
points when installing and removing the soft tops.
The lift assist mechanism and side bows may cause
serious injury if fingers or hands get caught in
between.
CAUTION!
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.).
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 move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame, or fully
lowered.
 Do not fully lower the top with the windows installed.
Window and top damage may occur.
 For important information on cleaning and caring for
your vehicle's fabric top
Úpage 361.
 Do not use any tools (screwdrivers, etc.) to pry or
force any of the clamps, clips, or retainers securing
the soft top. Do not force or pry the soft top frame -
work when opening or closing. Damage to the top
may result.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water
damage, stains or mildew on the top material:
 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.
 Careless handling and storage of the soft top may
damage the seals, causing water to leak into the
vehicle's interior.
 The soft top must be positioned properly to ensure
sealing. Improper installation can cause water to leak
into the vehicle's interior.
CAUTION!

Step Two

FOLDING WINDSHIELD
The fold-down windshield on your vehicle is a structural
element that can provide some protection in some
accidents. The windshield also provides some protection
against weather, road debris and intrusion of small
branches and other objects.
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down, as you lose the protection this structural element
can provide.
If required for certain off-road uses, the windshield can be
folded down. However, the protection afforded by the
windshield is then lost. If you fold down the windshield,
drive slowly and cautiously. It is recommended that the
speed of the vehicle be limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), with
low range operation preferred if you are driving off-road
with the windshield folded down.
Raise the windshield as soon as the task that required its
removal is completed and before you return to on-road
driving. Both you and your passengers should wear seat
belts at all times, on-road and off-road, regardless of
whether the windshield is raised or folded down.
Target Torque
Specification For Torx Fasteners Maximum Minimum
79.6 in-lb (9 N·m) 87.6 in-lb
(9.9 N·m) 71.7 in-lb
(8.1 N·m)
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the screws. You can strip the screws
if they are overtightened.
CAUTION!
Lowering of the windshield is NOT recommended in
vehicles equipped with a Power Sliding Top. Damage
will occur to the top as well as the header seal.
WARNING!
Carefully follow these warnings to help protect against
personal injury:
 Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down.
 Do not drive your vehicle unless the windshield is
securely fastened, either up or down.
 Eye protection, such as goggles, should be worn at all
times when the windshield is down.

CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Tie-Down Hooks And Loops
The cargo tie-downs, located on the cargo area floor,
should be used to safely secure loads when the vehicle is
moving.

Cargo Tie-Down Loops (Four Door Models)
Cargo Tie-Down Loops (Two Door Models)

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:Roof rack applications are for Hard Top models ONLY.
The load carried on the roof, when equipped with a
luggage rack, must not exceed 100 lb (45 kg), this
includes the weight of the crossbars, and it should be
uniformly distributed over the cargo area.
Crossbars should always be used whenever cargo is
placed on the roof rack. Check the straps frequently to be
sure that the load remains securely attached.
NOTE:Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized dealer
through Mopar® parts.
External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant
and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the
luggage rack, does not exceed the maximum vehicle load
capacity.
WARNING!
 Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat
tether strap. In a sudden stop or accident, a tie-down
could pull loose and allow the child seat to come
loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the
anchors provided for child seat tethers.
 To help protect against personal injury, passengers
should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.
The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle
handling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal
injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
 Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits
described on the label attached to the left door or left
door center pillar.
 Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.
 Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear
axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to
sway.
 Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of
the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Anything improperly secured to the roof rack,
crossbars, or the roof itself can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting in collisions,
personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying anything on your roof or roof
rack.
