Jeep Wrangler: STARTING THE ENGINE — DIESEL ENGINE (IF EQUIPPED) / Starting Fluids
The engine is equipped with a glow plug
preheating system. If the instructions in this
manual are followed, the engine should start in
all conditions and no type of starting fluid
should be used.
WARNING!
- Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
- When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the keyless ignition node is in the
“OFF” mode, remove the key fob from the
vehicle and lock the vehicle.
- Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
- Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children,
and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Observe the instrument cluster lights when
starting the engine.

Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or pressing
the accelerator pedal...
Observe the following when the diesel engine is
operating:
All message center lights are off.

additional traction and control on slippery or
difficult terrain, ascending or descending steep
hills, and to increase low speed pulling power.

situations such as deep snow, mud, steep
inclines, or sand where additional low speed
pulling power is needed...
