Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning) 
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator  to  manually  activate  or  deactivate
the  air  conditioning  system.  When  the  air
conditioning system is turned on, cool dehu-
midified air will flow through the outlets into
the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press
the A/C button to turn off the air conditioning
and  manually  adjust  the  blower  and  airflow
mode settings. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level, or Floor modes.
NOTE:
For Manual Climate Controls, if the system
is  in  Mix,  Floor  or  Defrost  Mode,  the  A/C
can be turned off, but the A/C system shall
remain  active  to  prevent  fogging  of  the
windows.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or
side  glass,  select  Defrost  mode,  and
increase blower speed if needed.
If  your  air  conditioning  performance
seems  lower  than  expected,  check  the
front of the A/C condenser (located in front
of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray
from the front of the radiator and through
the condenser.
MAX A/C
MAX  A/C  sets  the  control  for  maximum
cooling performance.
Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C
and the prior settings. The button illuminates
when MAX A/C is on.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position
can  be  adjusted  to  desired  user  settings.
Pressing other settings will cause the MAX A/C
operation to switch to the selected setting and
MAX A/C to exit.
Recirculation
In  cold  weather,  use  of  Recirculation  mode
may  lead  to  excessive  window  fogging.  The
Recirculation  feature  may  be  unavailable
(button  on  the  touchscreen  greyed  out)  if
conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — 
If Equipped  
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate, or  the  AUTO  button  on  the  touchscreen
on  the  Automatic  Temperature  Control
(ATC) Panel.
2. Next,  adjust  the  temperature  that  you would  like  the  system  to  maintain  by
adjusting  the  driver  and  passenger
temperature  control  buttons.  Once  the
desired  temperature  is  displayed,  the
system  will  achieve  and  automatically
maintain that comfort level.
3. When  the  system  is  set  up  for  your comfort  level,  it  is  not  necessary  to
change  the settings. You will  experience
the greatest efficiency by simply allowing
the system to function automatically.
NOTE:
It  is  not  necessary  to  move  the  tempera-
ture  settings  for  cold or hot vehicles.  The
system automatically adjusts the tempera-
ture,  mode,  and  blower  speed  to  provide
comfort as quickly as possible.
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book  Page 44

The temperature can be displayed in U.S.
or  Metric  units  by  selecting  the  U.S./
Metric  customer-programmable  feature.
Refer  to  the  “Uconnect  Settings”  in
“Multimedia”  in  the  Owner’s  Manual  for
further information.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic  mode  during  cold  start-ups,  the
blower  fan  will  remain  on  low  until  the
engine warms up. The blower will increase in
speed and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This  system  offers  a  full  complement  of
manual override features. The AUTO symbol
in  the  front  ATC  display  will  be  turned  off
when the system is being used in the manual
mode.
Operating Tips 
Summer Operation
The  engine  cooling  system  must  be
protected  with  a  high-quality  antifreeze
coolant  to  provide  proper  corrosion  protec -
tion  and  to  protect  against  engine  over -
heating.  OAT  coolant  (conforming  to
MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To  ensure  the  best  possible  heater  and
defroster performance, make sure the engine
cooling  system  is  functioning  properly  and
the  proper  amount,  type,  and  concentration
of coolant is used. Use of the Air Recircula -
tion  mode  during  Winter  months  is  not
recommended, because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation/Storage  
Before you store your vehicle,  or keep  it  out
of  service  (i.e.,  vacation)  for  two  weeks  or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for  about  five  minutes,  in  fresh  air  with  the
blower  setting  on  high.  This  will  ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility  of  compressor  damage  when  the
system is started again.
Window Fogging 
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild,  rainy,  and/or  humid  weather.  To  clear
the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and
increase the front  blower  speed.  Do  not  use
the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make  sure the  air  intake, located  directly in
front  of  the  windshield,  is  free  of  obstruc -
tions, such as leaves. Leaves collected in the
air  intake  may  reduce  airflow,  and  if  they
enter the plenum, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter  months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
 CAUTION!
Failure to  follow  these cautions  can  cause
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners  on  the  interior  surface  of  the
window.  Use  a  soft  cloth  and  a  mild
washing  solution,  wiping  parallel  to  the
heating elements. Labels  can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp  instruments,
or abrasive window cleaners on the inte-
rior surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.

SAFETY TIPS   
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE
CARGO AREA.
Exhaust Gas     The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry  into  the  vehicle  body  is  a  properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can
be  detected  inside  the  vehicle,  or  when  the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged,
have  a  competent  mechanic  inspect  the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas  for  broken,  damaged,  deteriorated,  or
mispositioned  parts.  Open  seams  or  loose
connections  could  permit  exhaust  fumes  to
seep  into  the  passenger  compartment.  In
addition,  inspect  the  exhaust  system  each
time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.
 WARNING!
Do  not  leave  children  or  animals  inside
parked  vehicles  in  hot  weather.  Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
It  is  extremely  dangerous  to  ride  in  a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In  a  collision,  people  riding  in  these
areas  are  more  likely  to  be  seriously
injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your  vehicle  that  is  not  equipped  with
seats and seat belts.
Be  sure  everyone  in  your  vehicle  is  in  a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
 WARNING!
Exhaust  gases  can  injure  or  kill.  They
contain  carbon  monoxide  (CO),  which  is
colorless  and  odorless.  Breathing  it  can
make  you  unconscious  and  can  eventually
poison you. To avoid breathing (CO), follow
these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in
confined  areas  any  longer  than  needed  to
move your vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift-
gate/rear  doors  open,  make  sure  that  all
windows  are  closed  and  the  climate  control
BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT
use the recirculation mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle
with  the  engine  running,  adjust  your
heating  or  cooling  controls  to  force
outside  air  into  the  vehicle.  Set  the
blower at high speed.

JUMP STARTING 
If  your  vehicle  has  a  discharged  battery,  it
can  be  jump  started  using  a  set  of  jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle, or by
using a portable battery booster pack. Jump
starting  can  be  dangerous  if  done  improp-
erly,  so  please  follow  the  procedures  in  this
section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow  the  manufacturer's  operating  instruc -
tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump Start
The  battery in  your vehicle is  located in  the
left rear of the engine compartment.
Positive Battery Post
Positive Battery Post NOTE:
The  positive  battery  post  is  covered  with  a
protective  cap.  Lift  up  on  the  cap  to  gain
access to the post.
 WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery
is  frozen.  It  could  rupture  or  explode  and
cause personal injury.
 CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or  any  other  booster  source  with  a  system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the  battery,  starter  motor,  alternator  or
electrical system may occur.
 WARNING!
Take  care  to  avoid  the  radiator  cooling
fan  whenever  the  hood  is  raised.  It  can
start  anytime  the  ignition  switch  is  ON.
You can be injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch  bands  and  bracelets  that  could
make  an  inadvertent  electrical  contact.
You could be seriously injured.
Batteries  contain  sulfuric  acid  that  can
burn  your  skin  or  eyes  and  generate
hydrogen  gas  which  is  flammable  and
explosive.  Keep  open  flames  or  sparks
away from the battery.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
204
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, shift trans-
mission  into  NEUTRAL  (N),  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  supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE 
 CAUTION!
Driving  with  a  hot  cooling  system  could
damage  your  vehicle.  If  the  temperature
gauge  reads  HOT  (H),  pull  over  and  stop
the  vehicle.  Idle  the  vehicle  with  the  air
conditioner  turned  off  until  the  pointer
drops  back  into  the  normal  range.  If  the
pointer  remains on HOT  (H), and you hear
continuous  chimes,  turn  the  engine  off
immediately and call for service.
 WARNING!
You  or  others  can  be  badly  burned  by  hot
engine  coolant  (antifreeze)  or  steam  from
your  radiator.  If  you  see  or  hear  steam
coming  from  under  the  hood,  do  not  open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool.  Never  try  to  open  a  cooling  system
pressure  cap  when  the  radiator  or  coolant
bottle is hot.
 WARNING!
Always  secure  your  vehicle  by  fully
applying  the  parking  brake  before
activating  the  Manual  Park  Release.  In
addition,  you  should  be  seated  in  the
driver’s  seat  with  your  foot  firmly  on  the
brake  pedal  when  activating  the  Manual
Park  Release.  Activating  the  Manual  Park
Release will allow your vehicle to roll away
if it is not secured by the parking brake, or
by  proper  connection  to  a  tow  vehicle.
Activating  the  Manual  Park  Release  on  an
unsecured  vehicle  could  lead  to  serious
injury  or  death  for  those  in  or  around  the
vehicle.
