TOP — IF EQUIPPED
CAUTION!
•The hard top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunt-
ing, 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 addi-
tional loads other than environmental (rain, snow,
etc.).
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame and
body side or fully removed.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew:
• It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to panel removal. Removing the top, opening a door
or lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.
• The hard top assembly must be positioned properly
to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.

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.).
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
coating on 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.
CAUTION!
• Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax build up 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 lower the top with the windows installed.
Window and top damage may occur.
• Refer to “Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models”
in “Bodywork” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for
further information. It contains important informa-
tion on cleaning and caring for your vehicle’s fabric
top.
• 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.

Electronic Serial Number/Sirius Identification
Number (ESN/SID)
Please have the following information available when
calling:
1.
The Electronic Serial Number/Sirius Identification Num-
ber (ESN/SID).
2. Your Vehicle Identification Number.
To access the ESN/SID, refer to the following steps:
ESN/SID Access
With the ignition switch in the ON/RUN or ACC position
and the radio on, push the SETUP button and scroll using
the TUNE/SCROLL control knob until Sirius ID is selected.
Push the TUNE/SCROLL control knob and the Sirius ID
number will display. The Sirius ID number display will
time out in two minutes. Push any button on the radio to
exit this screen.
Selecting Uconnect (Satellite) Mode
Push the SAT button untilSATappears in the display. A
CD may remain in the radio while in the Satellite radio
mode.
Satellite Antenna
To ensure optimum reception, do not place items on the
roof around the rooftop antenna location. Metal objects
placed within the line of sight of the antenna will cause
decreased performance. Larger luggage items such as bikes
should be placed as far rearward as possible, within the
loading design of the rack. Do not place items directly on
or above the antenna.
Reception Quality
Satellite reception may be interrupted due to one of the
following reasons:
• The vehicle is parked in an underground parking struc-
ture or under a physical obstacle.
• Dense tree coverage may interrupt reception in the form
of short audio mutes.
• Driving under wide bridges or along tall buildings can
cause intermittent reception.
• Placing objects over or too close to the antenna can cause
signal blockage.
