Extended Park Starting; If Engine Fails To Start - Jeep Wrangler Owner's Manual

NOTE:
In some cases the ParkSense graphic will be displayed in
the instrument cluster. In these cases, the gear selector
must be returned to "P" to select desired gear.
If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the vehicle may
AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is 1.2 mph
(1.9 km/h) or less.
The message "Vehicle Speed Is Too High To Shift To P" will
be displayed in the instrument cluster if vehicle speed is
above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h).
WARNING!
If vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h), the
transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the vehicle
speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h). A vehicle left in
the NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added precaution,
always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
4WD LOW
AutoPark will be disabled when operating the vehicle in
4WD LOW.
The message "AutoPark Disabled" will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Additional customer warnings will be given when both of
these conditions are met:
 Vehicle is not in PARK
 Driver's door is ajar
The message "AutoPark Not Engaged" will be displayed in
the instrument cluster. A warning chime will continue until
you shift the vehicle into PARK or the driver's door is
closed.
ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK
by looking for the "P" in the instrument cluster display and
on the shifter. As an added precaution, always apply the
parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

F NGINE AILS O TART
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the
"Normal Starting" procedure and the vehicle has not
experienced an Extended Park condition as previously
defined, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine for
no more than 10 seconds. This should clear any excess
fuel in case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition key in
the RUN position, release the accelerator pedal and
repeat the "Normal Starting" procedure.
WARNING!
 Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the
throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start
the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
