JEEP WRANGLER 1999 Owners Manual

Do not drive your vehicle on-pavement with the
door frame removed or the windshield down as you
lose the protection these structural elements can
provide. These two procedures are furnished for use
during off-road operation only.

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.

Do not remove the head impact foam from the side
bars, as damage to the foam may result.
You or others could be injured if you carry the side
bars loose in your vehicle. Remove the bars from the
vehicle or securely store them as described or they
may cause personal injury if an accident occurs. See
your authorized dealer for replacement if the cinch
straps are not found in the glove box.

To help protect against personal injury, always in-
stall the side bars when raising the windshield on
your vehicle. If you do not raise the windshield and
install the side bars, you lose the protection these
structural elements provide in some accidents.
