IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
HAZARD WARNING
FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located
on the instrument panel below the climate
controls.Push the switch to turn on the
Hazard Warning flasher. When the
switch is activated, all directional turn signals will flash on and off to warn
oncoming traffic of an emergency. Push the

and it is creating a safety hazard for other
motorists. When you must leave the vehicle to seek
assistance, the Hazard Warning flashers will
continue to operate even though the ignition
is placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:
With extended use the Hazard Warning
flashers may wear down your battery.

Checking Oil Level — Gasoline Engine
To ensure proper lubrication of your vehicle's
engine, the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. The engine oil level should
be checked five minutes after a warmed up
engine has been shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings. Always maintain the oil level
within the SAFE zone on the dipstick. Adding
1 quart (0.95 liters) of oil when the reading
is at the bottom of the crosshatch zone will
result in a reading at the top of the cross-
hatch zone on these engines.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir for the windshield
washers and the rear window washer (if
equipped) is shared. The fluid reservoir is
located in the engine compartment. Be sure
to check the fluid level at regular intervals.
Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent only (not radiator antifreeze). When
refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take some
washer fluid and apply it to a cloth or towel
and wipe clean the wiper blades; this will
help blade performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu -
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers. WARNING!
Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable vapors
may be present, with the risk of fire.
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your car.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for vehi -
cles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
Commercial windshield washer solvents
are flammable. They could ignite and burn
you. Care must be exercised when filling or
working around the washer solution.

Preserving The Bodywork
Washing
Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash
your vehicle in the shade using a mild car
wash soap, and rinse the panels
completely with clear water.
If insects, tar, or other similar deposits
have accumulated on your vehicle, use a
specific detergent to remove.
Use a high quality cleaner wax to remove
road film, stains and to protect your paint
finish. Take care never to scratch the
paint.
Avoid using abrasive compounds and
power buffing that may diminish the gloss
or thin out the paint finish.
Special Care
If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if
you drive near the ocean, hose off the
undercarriage at least once a month.
It is important that the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors, rocker panels,
and trunk be kept clear and open.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches
in the paint, touch them up immediately.
The cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to a colli-
sion or similar cause that destroys the
paint and protective coating, have your
vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The
cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemi -
cals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure
that such materials are well packaged and
sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,
consider mud or stone shields behind
each wheel.
Touch up the scratches as soon as
possible. An authorized dealer has touch
up paint to match the color of your vehicle.
Some parts of the vehicle may be painted
with a matte paintwork which requires
special care for its preservation
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning
materials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and
painted surfaces.
Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi
(8,274 kPa) can result in damage or
removal of paint and decals.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only
by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it
with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windshield
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windshield and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.

Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models
To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's inte
-
rior trim and top, follow these precautions:
Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended
with the top down, as exposure to sun or
rain may damage interior trim.
Do not use harsh cleaners or bleaching
agents on top material, as damage may
result.
Do not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down
and dry on the paint, leaving a streak.
After cleaning your vehicle's fabric top,
always make sure it is completely dry
before lowering.
Be especially careful when washing the
windows by following the directions for
“Care of Fabric Top Windows.”
Washing – Use mild soap suds, lukewarm
water, and a brush with soft bristles. If extra
cleaning is required, use a mild foaming
cleaner on the entire top, but support the top
from underneath.
Rinsing – Be sure to remove all traces of
cleaner by rinsing the top thoroughly with
clean water. Remember to allow the top to
dry before lowering it. Some parts of the vehicle may be painted
with a matte paintwork which requires
special care for its preservation.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause
interior and exterior vehicle water damage,
stains or mildew on the top material or
electrical components damage:
Avoid high-pressure car washes for the
exterior and interior of the vehicle, as
they can damage the top material and
electrical connectors. Also, increased
water pressure may force past the
weather strips.
It is recommended that the top be free of
water prior to opening it. Operating the
top, opening a door or lowering a window
while the top is wet may allow water to
drip into the vehicle’s interior.
Use care when washing the vehicle,
water pressure directed at the weather
strip seals may cause water to leak into
the vehicle’s interior.
Careless handling and storage of the
removable roof panels may damage the
seals, causing water to leak into the
vehicle’s interior.
The front panel(s) must be positioned
properly to ensure sealing. Improper
installation can cause water to leak into
the vehicle’s interior.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois
leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning
the car. Bird droppings must be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the
acid they contain is particularly aggres-
sive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the
vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it
may only be possible to remove them
with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could
alter the typical opaqueness of the paint.

Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic
windows which can be scratched unless
special care is taken by following these
directions:
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. It removes fine scratches
to improve visibility and provides UV
protection to help prevent yellowing.
When washing, never use hot water or
anything stronger than a mild soap. Never
use solvents such as alcohol or harsh
cleaning agents.
Always rinse thoroughly with cold water,
then wipe with a soft and slightly moist,
clean cloth.
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.
Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from
off-road driving will have an impact on
plastic retainer operation. Even normal
on-road driving and vehicle washing will
eventually impact window plastic retainer
operation. To maintain ease of use of the
window plastic retainers, each window
plastic retainer should be cleaned and
lubricated regularly. Clean them with a
mild soap solution and a small brush.
Cleaning products are available through
an authorized dealer.
Never paste stickers, gummed labels or
any tape to the windows. Adhesives are
hard to remove and may damage the
windows.
INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol -
stery and carpeting.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
Do not use pure windshield washer fluid
for cleaning the front windshield and
rear window; dilute it min. 50% with
water. Only use pure windshield washer
fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.

Plastic And Coated Parts
Use a specific product to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When
cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to
avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use
high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with
a clean damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a damp
soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as
an abrasive and damage the leather uphol -
stery and should be removed promptly with a
damp cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery. Application of a leather
conditioner is not required to maintain the
original condition. NOTE:
If equipped with light colored leather, it
tends to show any foreign material, dirt, and
fabric dye transfer more so than darker
colors. The leather is designed for easy
cleaning.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with any commercial house
-
hold-type glass cleaner. Never use an abra -
sive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning
the inside rear window equipped with elec -
tric defrosters or windows equipped with
radio antennas. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch the
elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or cloth that you are
using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the
mirror.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect
repellents, suntan lotions, or hand sani -
tizers to the plastic, painted, or decorated
surfaces of the interior may cause perma -
nent damage. Wipe away immediately.
Damage caused by these type of prod -
ucts may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/
or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather upholstery, as damage to the
upholstery may result.
