2012 JEEP WRANGLER stop start

WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area.
Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and
colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or
others to be severely injured or killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmittersaway fromchildren. Operation of the
Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other controls could
cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
THEFT ALARM
To A r m
• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the
door is open.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove
slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A
snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during
a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not
wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used
together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop
you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear
your seat belt snugly.
• 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 (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision.

COMMAND-TRAC®/ROCK-TRAC®
• 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.

CAUTION!
• It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer
case is fully in NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent
damage to internal parts.
• Damage to the transmission may occur if the transmission is shifted
into PARK with the transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) and the engine
running. With the transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) ensure that the
engine is OFF prior to shifting the transmission into PARK.
• Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the
transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is
used when recreational towing.
• Tow only in the forward direction. Towing this vehicle backwards
can cause severe damage to the transfer case.
• Automatic transmissions must be placed in the PARK position for
recreational towing.

24-HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE
• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate
number.
• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are
calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple
questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time
of arrival. If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know.
With your consent, we will contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light
• If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on
continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected
in the ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds
greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the nearest
service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon
as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light
begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply
as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to
the prevailing road conditions. The light also flashes when TCS is active.
To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system to Partial Off mode
by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
switch.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly,
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
