2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED Owners Manual

POWER INVERTER • A 115 Volt, 150 Watt AC power in-
verter is located on the front of the
center console.
• This outlet can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power de-
vices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
• The power inverter switch is located on
the instrument panel below the cli-
mate controls. To turn on the power
outlet, press the switch once. The in-
dicator light will illuminate. Press the
switch a second time to turn the power
inverter outlet off.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power rating
of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the
electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically
reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may
have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug
it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands

POWER OUTLETS
• There are three possible 12–Volt Power Outlets in this vehicle.
• The front power outlet, located in the lower portion of the instrument panel, is
powered when the key is in the ON or ACC position.
• A second power outlet is located inside the center console bin and is powered
directly from the vehicle battery.
• On vehicles equipped with a rear subwoofer, there is a power outlet located in
the right rear cargo area.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other
object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.ELECTRONICS

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
• 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 (Automatic Transmission)
•
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL then 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.
• Shifting between 4H and 4L (Manual Transmission)
• Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the transfer case
lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the
shift is completed, release the clutch pedal.
