Jeep Wrangler (2022 year). Manual in english

STARTING AND OPERATING

155

The following indicators should be used to ensure

that you have properly engaged the transmission

into the PARK position:



When shifting into PARK, push the lock button

on the gear selector and firmly move the gear

selector all the way forward until it stops and is

fully seated.



Look at the transmission gear position display

and verify that it indicates the PARK position (P),

and is not blinking.



With the brake pedal released, verify that the

gear selector will not move out of PARK.

REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward.

Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come

to a complete stop.

NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for

prolonged periods with the engine running. Apply

the parking brake and shift the transmission into

PARK if you must exit the vehicle.

DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most city and

highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts

and downshifts, and the best fuel economy. The

transmission automatically upshifts through all

forward gears. The DRIVE position should be used

for all normal operating conditions.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such

as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading

conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong

head winds, or while towing a heavy trailer), use

the AutoStick shift control to select a lower gear

page 156. Under these conditions, using a lower

gear will improve performance and extend

transmission life by reducing excessive shifting

and heat build-up.
During extremely cold temperatures (-22°F

[-30°C] or below), transmission operation may be

modified depending on engine and transmission

temperature as well as vehicle speed. Normal

operation will resume once the transmission

temperature has risen to a suitable level.
MANUAL (M)
The MANUAL (M, +/-) position (beside the DRIVE

position) enables full manual control of

transmission shifting also known as AutoStick

mode. Toggling the gear selector forward (-) or

rearward (+) while in the MANUAL (AutoStick)

position will manually select the transmission gear,

and will display the current gear in the instrument

cluster

page 156.

CAUTION!



Before moving the transmission gear selector

out of PARK, you must start the engine, and

also press the brake pedal. Otherwise,

damage to the gear selector could result.



DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as

this can damage the drivetrain.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the

ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe

practices that limit your response to changing

traffic or road conditions. You might lose control

of the vehicle and have a collision.

CAUTION!



Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any

other reason with the transmission in

NEUTRAL can cause severe transmission

damage.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Transmission Limp Home Mode

Transmission function is monitored electronically

for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected

that could result in transmission damage,

Transmission Limp Home mode is activated. In this

mode, the transmission may operate only in

certain gears, or may not shift at all. Vehicle

performance may be severely degraded and the

engine may stall. In some situations, the

transmission may not re-engage if the engine is

turned off and restarted. The Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) may be illuminated. A message in the

instrument cluster will inform the driver of the

more serious conditions, and indicate what actions

may be necessary.
In the event of a momentary problem, the

transmission can be reset to regain all forward

gears by performing the following steps:

NOTE:



In cases where the instrument cluster message

indicates the transmission may not re-engage

after engine shutdown, perform this procedure

only in a desired location (preferably, at an

authorized dealer).



Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom

mend that you visit an authorized dealer at your

earliest possible convenience. An authorized

dealer has diagnostic equipment to assess the

condition of your transmission.



If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized

dealer service is required.

1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if possible. If

not, shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.

3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the

engine turns off.

4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the

problem is no longer detected, the

transmission will return to normal operation.

AutoStick

AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission

feature providing manual shift control, giving you

more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to

maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable

upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall

vehicle performance. This feature can also provide

you with more control during passing, city driving,

cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer

towing, and many other situations.
Operation
To activate AutoStick mode, move the gear

selector into the MANUAL (M) position (beside the

DRIVE position). The current transmission gear will

be displayed in the instrument cluster. In AutoStick

mode, you can use the gear selector (in the

MANUAL position) to manually shift the

transmission.
AutoStick mode has the following operational

benefits:



The transmission will automatically downshift

as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging)

and will display the current gear.



The transmission will automatically downshift to

FIRST gear when coming to a stop. After a stop,

the driver should manually upshift (+) the trans

mission as the vehicle is accelerated.



You can start out, from a stop, in FIRST or

SECOND gear (or THIRD gear, in 4L range).

Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in

SECOND gear. Starting out in SECOND or THIRD

gear can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions.



If a requested downshift would cause the

engine to overspeed, that shift will not occur.



The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too

low of a vehicle speed.



Holding the gear selector in the (-) position will

downshift the transmission to the lowest gear

possible at the current speed.



Transmission shifting will be more noticeable

when AutoStick is enabled.



The system may revert to automatic shift mode

if a fault or overheat condition is detected.

STARTING AND OPERATING

157

NOTE:

When Hill Descent Control is enabled, AutoStick is

not active.
To disengage AutoStick mode, return the gear

selector to the DRIVE position. You can shift in or

out of the AutoStick position at any time without

taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Four-Wheel Drive Gear Selector

The transfer case provides four positions:



2H — Two-Wheel Drive High Range



4H — Four-Wheel Drive High Range



N (Neutral)



4L — Four-Wheel Drive Low Range

For additional information on the appropriate use

of each transfer case position, see the following:
2H
Two-Wheel Drive High Range — This range is for

normal street and highway driving on dry, hard

surfaced roads.

4H
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range

maximizes torque to the front driveshaft, forcing

the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same

speed. This range provides additional traction for

loose, slippery road surfaces only.
N (Neutral)

N (Neutral) — This range disengages both the front

and rear driveshafts from the powertrain. To be

used for flat towing behind another vehicle

page 198.

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking

on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could

lose their grip and the vehicle could skid,

causing a collision or personal injury.

WARNING!

Failure to engage a transfer case position

completely can cause transfer case damage or

loss of power and vehicle control. You could have

a collision. Do not drive the vehicle unless the

transfer case is fully engaged.

WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed if you

leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer

case in the (N) Neutral position without first fully

engaging the parking brake. The transfer case

(N) Neutral position disengages both the front

and rear driveshafts from the powertrain, and

will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the automatic

transmission is in PARK (or manual transmission

is in gear). The parking brake should always be

applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.

158

STARTING AND OPERATING

4L
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides

low speed four-wheel drive. It maximizes torque to

the front driveshaft, forcing the front and rear

wheels to rotate at the same speed. This range

provides additional traction and maximum pulling

power for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do not

exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
The transfer case is intended to be driven in the 2H

position for normal street and highway conditions,

such as hard-surfaced roads.
In the event that additional traction is required, the

transfer case 4H and 4L positions can be used to

lock the front and rear driveshafts together, forcing

the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same

speed. The 4H and 4L positions are intended for

loose, slippery road surfaces only and not intended

for normal driving. Driving in the 4H and 4L

positions on hard-surfaced roads will cause

increased tire wear and damage to the driveline

components. For further information on shifting

into 4H or 4L

page 158.

The instrument cluster alerts the driver that the

vehicle is in four-wheel drive, and the front and

rear driveshafts are locked together. The light will

illuminate when the transfer case is shifted into

the 4H position.
When operating your vehicle in 4L, the engine

speed will be approximately three times (four times

for Rubicon models) that of the 2H or 4H positions

at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed

the engine.
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles

depends on tires of equal size, type, and

circumference on each wheel. Any difference will

adversely affect shifting and cause damage to the

transfer case.
Because four-wheel drive provides improved

traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning

and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road

conditions permit.

Shifting Procedures

2H TO 4H OR 4H TO 2H

Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with the

vehicle stopped or in motion. The preferred shifting

speed would be 0 to 45 mph (72 km/h). With the

vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/

disengage faster if you momentarily release the

accelerator pedal after completing the shift. Do not

accelerate while shifting the transfer case. Apply a

constant force when shifting the transfer case lever.

NOTE:



Do not attempt to make a shift while only the

front or rear wheels are spinning. The front and

rear driveshaft speeds must be equal for the

shift to take place. Shifting while only the front

or rear wheels are spinning can cause damage

to the transfer case.



Delayed shifts out of four-wheel drive may be

experienced due to uneven tire wear, low or

uneven tire pressures, excessive vehicle

loading, or cold temperatures.



Shifting effort will increase with speed, this is

normal.

During cold weather, you may experience

increased effort in shifting until the transfer case

fluid warms up. This is normal.

4H TO 4L OR 4L TO 4H

With the vehicle rolling at 1 to 3 mph (2 to 5 km/h),

shift an automatic transmission into NEUTRAL (N),

or press the clutch pedal on a manual transmission.

While the vehicle is coasting at 1 to 3 mph (2 to

5 km/h), shift the transfer case lever firmly to the

desired position. Do not pause with the transfer

case in N (Neutral). Once the shift is completed,

place the automatic transmission into DRIVE or

release the clutch pedal on a manual transmission.

NOTE:

Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the vehicle

completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur

due to the mating teeth not being properly aligned.

Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth

alignment and shift completion to occur. The

preferred method is with the vehicle rolling at 1 to

3 mph (2 to 5 km/h). Avoid attempting to engage

or disengage 4L with the vehicle moving faster

than 1 to 3 mph (2 to 5 km/h).

The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant driving

force to both rear wheels and reduces wheel spin

caused by the loss of traction at one driving wheel.

If traction differs between the two rear wheels, the

differential automatically proportions the usable

torque by providing more torque to the wheel that

has traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery

ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electro-Hydraulic

Power Steering system that provides increased

vehicle response and ease of maneuverability. The

system adapts to different driving conditions. If the

Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering system

experiences a fault that prevents it from providing

power steering assist, then the system will provide

mechanical steering capability.

CAUTION!

Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the

electrically driven pump to reduce or stop power

steering assistance in order to prevent damage

to the system. Normal operation will resume

once the system is allowed to cool.

STARTING AND OPERATING

If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING” message and

a flashing icon are displayed on the instrument

cluster screen, it indicates that the vehicle needs

to be taken to an authorized dealer for service. It is

likely the vehicle has lost power steering

assistance

page 120.

If the “POWER STEERING HOT” message and an

icon are displayed on the instrument cluster

screen, it indicates that extreme steering

maneuvers may have occurred, which caused an

over temperature condition in the power steering

system. You will lose power steering assistance

momentarily until the over temperature condition

no longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe,

pull over and let vehicle idle for a few moments

until the light turns off

page 120.

NOTE:



Even if power steering assistance is no longer

operational, it is still possible to steer the

vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a

substantial increase in steering effort, espe

cially at very low vehicle speeds and during

parking maneuvers.



If the condition persists, see an authorized

dealer for service.

STOP/START SYSTEM — AUTOMATIC

TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)

The Engine Stop/Start (ESS) function is developed

to reduce fuel consumption. The system will stop

the engine automatically during a vehicle stop if

the required conditions are met. Releasing the

brake pedal or pressing the accelerator pedal will

automatically restart the engine.
ESS vehicles have been upgraded with a

heavy-duty starter, enhanced battery, and other

upgraded engine parts, to handle the additional

engine starts. Vehicles equipped with eTorque

contain a heavy-duty motor generator and an

additional hybrid electric battery to store energy

from vehicle deceleration for use on engine startup

after a stop as well as providing launch torque

assist.

NOTE:

It is recommended that Stop/Start system be

disabled during off-road use.

STOP/START SYSTEM — MANUAL

TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)

The Engine Stop/Start (ESS) function is developed

to reduce fuel consumption. The system will stop

the engine automatically during a vehicle stop if

the required conditions are met. Pressing the

clutch pedal will automatically restart the vehicle.
ESS vehicles have been upgraded with a

heavy-duty starter, enhanced battery, and other

upgraded engine parts, to handle the additional

engine starts. Vehicles equipped with eTorque

contain a heavy duty motor generator and an

additional hybrid electric battery to store energy

from vehicle deceleration for use on engine startup

after a stop as well as providing launch torque

assist.

NOTE:

It is recommended that Stop/Start be disabled

during off-road use.
Secondary Battery
Your vehicle may be equipped with a secondary

battery used to power the Stop/Start system and

the 12 Volt vehicle electrical system. The

secondary battery is located behind the wheel well

for the front passenger wheel.
