Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield

down and the side bars removed as you lose the protection

these structural elements can provide.
If required for certain off-road uses, the side bars can be

removed and the windshield folded down. However, the

protection afforded by these features is then lost. If you

remove the side bars and 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 and reinstall the side bars as soon as

the task that required their removal is completed and

before you return to on-road driving. Both you and your

passenger should wear seat belts at all times, on-road and

off-road, regardless of whether the windshield is raised or

folded down.
Outside rearview mirrors are mounted on the doors. If you

choose to remove the doors, see your authorized dealer for

a replacement cowl-mounted outside mirror. Federal law

requires outside mirrors on vehicles for on-road use.

WARNING!

Carefully follow these warnings to help protect against
personal injury:

Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the wind-
shield 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.

Be sure that you carefully follow the instructions for
raising the windshield. Make sure that the folding
windshield, windshield wipers, side bars, and all
associated hardware and fasteners are correctly and
tightly assembled before driving your vehicle. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions may prevent your
vehicle from providing you and your passengers’
protection in some accidents.

If you remove the doors, store them outside the
vehicle. In the event of an accident, a loose door may
cause personal injury.
