Jeep Wrangler: Normal Starting / To Turn Off The Engine Using ENGINE START/STOP Button
- Place the gear selector in PARK, then push
and release the ENGINE START/STOP button.

vehicle stopped) and the ENGINE START/
STOP button is pushed once, the
transmission will automatically select PARK
and the engine will turn off while the ignition
will remain in the ACC mode (NOT the OFF

PARK position, or it could roll.

vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h),

in a row) to turn the engine off. The ignition will remain in the ACC mode
(NOT the OFF
mode) if the engine is turned off when the
transmission is not in PARK.

The system will automatically time out and the
ignition will cycle to the OFF mode after

Other information:
NOTE:
When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles/
kilometers of operation, you may observe vapor
coming from the front of the engine compartment.
This is normally a result of moisture from
rain, snow, or high humidity accumulating on
the radiator and being vaporized when the thermostat
opens, allowing hot engine coolant (antifreeze)
to enter the radiator...
This system uses the key fob to
start
the engine conveniently from outside
the vehicle while still maintaining
security. The system has a range of
approximately 300 ft (91 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather, and to reach a comfortable climate in
all ambient conditions before the driver enters
the vehicle...
