Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)/Forward
Collision Warning (FCW) Sensor Protective
Cover — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a protective
cover that is to be used whenever the windshield is
folded down in order to protect the ACC/FCW
sensor. To install the cover, refer to the following
instructions:

1. Secure the top part of the cover so that it
hinges to the header.

2. Swing the cover down and push on it so that it covers the opening.
3. Check to make sure the cover is secured properly.

Protective Cover Installed

NOTE:Be sure to remove the cover before returning the
windshield to the normal position. Store the cover
in the cargo area.
Cleaning Instructions
During windshield down applications, dust/dirt can
accumulate in the cover and block the camera
lens. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the camera
lens, module, and inside cover, being careful not to
damage or scratch the module.
RAISING THE WINDSHIELD

1. Release the strap that secured the windshield in the lowered position.

2. Raise the windshield.
3. Using the provided #T40 Torx head driver, reinstall the four Torx head fasteners located
along the interior of the windshield (two on
each side of the header trim). Secure them
until they are snug, being careful not to
cross-thread the fasteners or overtighten.
Step Three

4. Reinstall the windshield wiper arms using the provided 15 mm socket. First, align the tips of
the blade to the “T” mark in the glass. Then,
while holding the arm in that position, reinstall
the hex nut and tighten until snug. Be careful
not to overtighten. Repeat for the other arm.1 — Outer Torx Fasteners
2 — Center Torx Fasteners
