CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to thieves.
Always remove the key from the ignition, and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition,
sounds a signal to remind you to remove the key.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering
wheel lock (manual transmission only). This lock pre-
vents steering the vehicle without the ignition key. If the
steering wheel is moved a half turn in either direction
and the key is not in the ignition, the steering wheel will
lock.
To Manually Lock the Steering Wheel
With the engine running, rotate the steering wheel 1/2
revolution from straight ahead position, turn off the
engine and remove the key. Rotate the steering wheel
slightly in both directions until the lock engages.

CAUTION!
Your vehicle’s fabric top has pliable plastic windows
which can be scratched unless special care is taken by
following these directions:
1. Never use a dry cloth to remove dust. Instead,use a
microfiber towel or soft cotton cloth moistened with
cold or warm, clean water, and wipe across the window,
not up and down.MoparJeep Soft Glass Window
Cleaner will safely clean all plastic windows without
scratching. Removes fine scratches to improve visibility
and provide UV protection to help prevent yellowing.
2. When washing,never use hot wateror anything
stronger than a mild soap. Never use solvents such as
alcohol or harsh cleaning agents.3. Always rinse thoroughly with cold water, then wipe
with a soft and slightly moist, clean cloth.
4. 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.
5. Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from off-road
driving will have a major impact on zipper operation.
Even normal on-road driving and vehicle washing will
eventually impact window zipper operation. To maintain
ease of use of the window zippers, each window zipper
should be cleaned and lubricated regularly. Use Mopar
Soft Top Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant to ease zipper
operation. Before applying, make sure the zipper teeth
are clear of sand, mud, and other materials. Clean both
sides of the zipper, not just one side. Rinse both zipper
halves with fresh water and allow to dry. Aggressively
work the MoparSoft Top Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant
