Starting and Operating Instructions
Off-road driving involves some
new skills. And that’s why it’s very
important that you read this
guide. You’ll find many driving tips
and suggestions. These will help
make your off-road driving safer
and more enjoyable.
If you think you will need extra
ground clearance at the front of
the vehicle, you can easily remove
the front bumper lower air dam.
The air dam is held in place by two
bolts and 10 snaps located along
the lower edge of the front
bumper. The bolts and snaps are
accessible from underneath the
bumper.
To remove the lower air dam, do
the following:
1. Remove the two bolts.
2. Insert the edge of a flat-head
screwdriver into each
snap and pull downward to
disengage the snaps.
3. Once the bolts are removed
and the snaps are released,
push forward on the air dam
assembly until the air dam is
free.
Make sure to replace the air dam
when you return to regular driving
conditions.
To reinstall the lower air dam:
1. Line up each snap and push
the air dam rearward to
engage the snaps.
2. Install the two bolts.
NOTICE
Operating the vehicle for an
extended period of time
without the front bumper lower
air dam can cause improper air
flow to the engine. Things on
the front of the vehicle such as
fog lights or tow hooks may be
damaged. Make sure to replace
the air dam when you are
finished off-road driving.
