Jeep Wrangler: NORMAL OPERATION — DIESEL ENGINE / Cooling System Tips — Automatic Transmission
To reduce the potential for engine and
transmission overheating in high ambient
temperature conditions, take the following
actions:
- City Driving — When stopped, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL (N) and increase
engine idle speed.
- Highway Driving — Reduce your speed.
- Up Steep Hills — Select a lower transmission
gear.
- Air Conditioning — Turn it off temporarily.
NOTE:
If the coolant temperature is too high, the A/C
will automatically turn off.
After full load operation, idle the engine for a
few minutes before shutting it down. This idle
period will allow the lubricating oil and coolant
to carry excess heat away from the
turbocharger...
If the low oil pressure warning light turns on
while driving, stop the vehicle and shut down
the engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when the light turns on...
Other information:
The coolant bottle provides a quick visual
method for determining that the coolant level is
adequate. With the engine OFF and cold, the
level of the engine coolant (antifreeze) in the
bottle should be between the ranges indicated
on the bottle.
The radiator normally remains completely full,
so there is no need to remove the radiator/
coolant pressure cap unless checking for
engine coolant freeze point or replacing
coolant...

The MAX A/C button is only available on the
