2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED four wheel drive

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.
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 (4WD OPERATION)

shifted into
PARK, and manual transmission must be placed in gear (NOT in NEUTRAL)
for recreational towing. Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL or depress the clutch pedal on a
manual transmission.
4. Turn OFF the engine.
5. Shift the transfer case lever into NEUTRAL (N).
6. Start the engine.
7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
8. Release the brake pedal (and clutch pedal on manual transmissions) for five
seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 with automatic transmission in DRIVE or manual transmis-
sion in first gear.
10. Turn OFF the engine.
11. Firmly apply the parking brake.
12. Shift the transmission into PARK or place manual transmission in gear (NOT in
Neutral).
13. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
14. Release the parking brake.
Shifting Out of NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for normal usage.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving it connected to the tow vehicle.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE • The manufacturer requires towing your vehicle with all four wheels OFF the 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
