2012 JEEP WRANGLER heating

HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats
are located near the bottom
center of the instrument panel
(below the heater/air conditioning
controls).
• Press the switch once to select
High-level heating. Press the
switch a second time to select
Low-level heating. Press the
switch a third time to shut the
heating elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch
to Low-level after approximately 30 minutes. The Low-level setting will
turn Off automatically after approximately 30 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical conditions
must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.
GETTING STARTED
20

Resetting The Light After Servicing
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
HOTOIL – Transmission Temperature Warning Message
• The HOTOIL cluster message will appear in the odometer accompanied
with a chime to indicate that there is excessive transmission fluid
temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing.
• It may also occur when operating the vehicle in a high torque converter
slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive operation (e.g., snow plowing,
off-road operation).
• If this HOTOIL message turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at
idle or faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the message turns
off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL
Warning message illuminated will eventually cause severe
transmission damage and transmission failure.
WARNING!
Continued operation with the Transmission Temperature HOTOIL
Warning message illuminated could cause the fluid to boil over, come
into contact with the hot engine or exhaust components causing a fire
that may result in personal injury.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for
overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but
do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE:There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending
overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to
the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this
heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core
to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.

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).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires.
A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle's
wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
