Jeep TJ (2006 year). Instruction

To change the brightness of the instrument panel lights,
rotate the center portion of the muti-function control
lever up or down.

NOTE:

If the driver’s door is left open, and the head-

lights or parking lights are left on, the “High Beam
Indicator Light” will flash and a chime will sound.

Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is turned off, a chime will sound when the driver’s door
is opened.

Headlight Dimmer Switch
Pull the multi-function control lever towards you to
switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the muti-
function control lever a second time to switch the head-
lights to LOW beam.

Passing Light
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multi-function control lever toward
the steering wheel. This will cause the headlights to turn
on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.

Front Fog Lights — If Equipped

The front fog light switch is in the multi-function
control lever. To activate the front fog lights, turn
on the parking or low beam headlights and pull

out the end of the lever.

NOTE:

The fog lights will only operate with the parking

lights or the headlights on low beam. Selecting high
beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.

Turn Signals
Move the multi-function control lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights. You can signal a lane change by moving the lever
partially up or down without moving beyond the detent.

If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a
very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light
bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the fuse or indicator bulb is
defective.

NOTE:

A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on

for more than 1 mile (2 km).

Daytime Running Lights — Canada Only
The headlights come on at a low intensity level after the
vehicle has been driven approximately 3 feet (1 meter).
They will turn off when the vehicle is turned off or when
the headlights are switched on.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS

CAUTION!

In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch
and allow the wipers to return to the park position
before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is
left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield,
damage to the wiper motor may occur when the
vehicle is restarted.

Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be-
tween cycles, desirable. Move the lever to the DELAY
position, then select the delay interval by turning the end
of the lever. The delay can be regulated from a maximum
of approximately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle
every second.

Windshield Wiper Operation
Move the lever upward to the second detent for LO speed
wiper operation, or to the third detent for HI speed
operation

Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will operate for two wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.

If the lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the wipers
will operate for as long as the lever is held plus two wipe
cycles, then turn OFF.

Mist Feature
Push down on the wiper lever to activate a single wipe to
clear off road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. As
long as the lever is held down, the wipers will continue
to operate.

TILT STEERING COLUMN
To tilt the column, push down on the lever below the turn
signal control and move the wheel up or down, as
desired. Pull the lever back upwards to lock the column
firmly in place.

Tilt Steering Column

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

Tilting the steering column while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. Without a stable steering col-
umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have
an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve-
hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, this device takes over accelerator opera-
tions at speeds greater than 35 mph (56 km/h). The
controls are mounted on the steering wheel and consist of
ON·OFF, SET, RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL, and COAST
controls.

To Activate
Press and release the ON·OFF button to turn the system
on. To turn the system off, press the ON·OFF button
again. The system should be turned off when not in use.
The CRUISE indicator light in the instrument cluster
illuminates when the system is on.

Speed Control Switches

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To Set At A Desired Speed
When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, press
and release the SET button. Release the accelerator and
the vehicle will operate at the selected speed.

To Deactivate

A soft tap on the brake pedal, normal braking, or pressing
the CANCEL button will deactivate the Speed Control
without erasing the memory. Pressing the ON·OFF but-
ton or turning off the ignition erases the memory.

To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, press and release the
RESUME/ACCEL button. Resume can be used at any
speed above 35 mph (56 km/h).

To Vary The Speed Setting
When the Speed Control is on and set, speed can be
increased by pressing and holding the RESUME/ACCEL
button. When the button is released, a new set speed will
be established.

Tapping the RESUME/ACCEL button once will result in
a 2 mph (3 km/h) speed increase. Each time the button is
tapped, speed increases, so tapping the button three
times will increase speed by 6 mph (9 km/h), etc.

To decrease speed while speed control is on and set, press
and hold the COAST button. Release the button when the
desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set.

To Accelerate for Passing
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000

ft. (610 meters), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded
(especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the
SET speed. (If the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56
km/h), the Speed Control will automatically disengage).
If this happens, you can push down on the accelerator
pedal to maintain the desired speed.

WARNING!

Leaving the Speed Control on when not in use is
dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or
cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always turn the system
off when you are not using it.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLET
To the right of the cigar lighter (if equipped) is the 12 volt
power outlet. The outlet is connected directly to the
battery, items plugged into this outlet may discharge the
battery and/or prevent engine starting. The outlet in-
cludes a tethered cap labeled with a battery symbol
indicating the power source.

Power Outlet

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off

WARNING!

•

Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting.

•

Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the battery
even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.

•

After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with accesso-
ries still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to
recharge the vehicle’s battery.

•

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug.

CUP HOLDERS
In the center console there are two cup holders for the
front seat passengers.

NOTE:

The cup holder insert is removable from the
