2013 JEEP WRANGLER steering wheel

COMMAND-TRAC®/ROCK-TRAC®
• The transfer case provides four modepositions: 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 trans-
mission. 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 Run Position, 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.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
• The manufacturer requires towing your vehicle with all four wheelsOFFthe 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 overheat-
ing 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.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
104

WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recom-
mended 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.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
•All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should
be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR®Wheel Cleaner or
equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage
the wheel's protective finish. Only MOPAR
®Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is
recommended.
