Jeep Wrangler: STARTING AND OPERATING / STARTING THE ENGINE — DIESEL ENGINE (IF EQUIPPED)
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your
seat belts.
The starter is allowed to crank for up to
30-second intervals. Waiting a few minutes
between such intervals will protect the starter
from overheating.
WARNING!
- Before exiting a vehicle, always come to a
complete stop, then shift the automatic
transmission into PARK and apply the
parking brake.
- Always make sure the wireless ignition
node is in the OFF mode, key fob is
removed from the vehicle and vehicle is
locked.
- Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Leaving
children 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.
- Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
NOTE:
Engine start up in very low ambient temperature
could result in evident white smoke. This condition
will disappear as the engine warms up.
CAUTION!
- The engine is allowed to crank as long as
30 seconds. If the engine fails to start
during this period, please wait at least two
minutes for the starter to cool before
repeating start procedure.
- If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light”
remains on, DO NOT START engine before
you drain the water from the fuel filters to
avoid engine damage.
