Storing The Vehicle - Jeep WRANGLER 4Xe 2022 Manual

76 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe
the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device clearance

between tires and other suspension compo-
nents, it is important that only traction devices
in good condition are used. Broken devices can
cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle imme-
diately if noise occurs that could indicate
device breakage. Remove the damaged parts
of the device before further use.
Install device as tightly as possible and then

retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).
Autosock traction devices do not require
retightening.
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and

large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry

pavement.
Observe the traction device manufacturer's

instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed of
the device manufacturer's if it is less than
30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact

spare tire.

STORING THE VEHICLE

If the vehicle should remain stationary for more
than a month, observe the following precautions:
Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and possibly

airy location with the windows open slightly.
Check that the parking brake is not engaged.

Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the

battery post and be sure that the battery is fully
charged. During storage check battery charge
quarterly.
NOTE:
Disconnecting the 12 Volt battery will prevent the
High Voltage (HV) battery from accepting a charge
from the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).
Also, the vehicle will not condition the HV battery
(if needed and connected to a powered EVSE).
If the HV battery is not able to condition itself and
it becomes cold enough (or hot enough), the
vehicle will not start until the HV battery's cell
temperatures are between -22°F (-30°C) and
122°F (50°C).
(Continued)
CAUTION!
If you do not disconnect the battery from the

electrical system, check the battery charge
every 30 days.
Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary for

two weeks or more, idle the vehicle for approxi-
mately five minutes, with the air conditioning
system on and high fan speed. This will ensure
proper lubrication of the system, thus mini-
mizing the possibility of damage to the
compressor when the vehicle is put back into
operation.
Plug in the vehicle when not using it whenever

possible.
NOTE:
The hybrid has a feature of periodic wake-up that
occurs every three weeks. This feature charges the
12 Volt battery from the HV battery. This will
happen as long as the HV battery remains above
the minimum state of charge Ú page 44.
CAUTION!
Before removal of the positive and negative
terminals to the battery, wait at least a minute
with ignition switch in the OFF position and close
the driver's door. When reconnecting the
positive and negative terminals to the battery be
sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position
and the driver's door is closed.
