®
• The transfer case provides four mode positions: 2H (Two-wheel drive high
range), 4H (Four-wheel drive high
range), N (Neutral), and 4L
(Four-wheel drive low range).
• The transfer case is intended to be driven in the 2H position for normal
street and highway conditions such
as hard-surfaced roads.
• Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with the vehicle stopped or in
motion. Shift the transfer case lever
firmly to 4H at any speed up to
50 mph (80 km/h).
• Shifting between 4H and 4L can be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Shift the
automatic transmission into
NEUTRAL or fully depress the clutch
pedal on a manual transmission. Shift
the transfer case lever firmly to 4L (do
not pause with the transfer case in
NEUTRAL). Once the shift is
completed, place the automatic
transmission into DRIVE or release
the clutch pedal on a manual
transmission.
NOTE: To enhance off-road performance
in 4L mode, manual transmission vehicles will start regardless of whether or not the
clutch pedal is depressed.
AXLE LOCK (TRU-LOK®)
RUBICON ONLY
• The AXLE LOCK switch is located on the instrument panel (to the left of the
steering column).
• This feature will only activate when the following conditions are met:
• Key in ignition, vehicle in 4L (Low)
range.
• Vehicle speed at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
• Press the bottom of the AXLE LOCK switch once to lock the rear axle only
and a second time to lock the front
axle (the rear and front axle lock
indicator lights will illuminate).
• To unlock the axles, press the top of the AXLE LOCK switch.
• The indicator light will flash until the axles are fully locked or unlocked.
ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR
DISCONNECT – RUBICON
ONLY
Off-Road
• Press the SWAY BAR switch, locatedon the instrument panel (to the left of
the steering column), once to
disconnect the Sway Bar.
• The Sway Bar indicator light will illuminate in the instrument cluster.
On-Road
• Press the SWAY BAR switch asecond time to reconnect the Sway
Bar.
• The Sway Bar should remain in on-road mode during normal driving
conditions.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

• Using a screwdriver or similar tool, press and hold the override tab through theaccess port on the center console.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
• Reinstall the override cover.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
• The manufacturer requires towing your vehicle with all four wheels OFFthe ground
using a flatbed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle using any other method could result in extensive damage to
the transfer case and/or transmission.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE/1st gear and REVERSE.
Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without
spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and failure. Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL
for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize
overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between DRIVE/1st gear and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain
damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly
and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for more information regarding tire
warnings and instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe
cracking, component separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s
ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause
damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering
problems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated
tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
