About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels ® 12 volt battery is equipped with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self-resetting safety device which automatically "trips" and shuts down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has "tripped", it will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 lb. (59 kg). maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up very steep slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors. Make sure your child stops the vehicle before switching speeds or direction. If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels ® Authorized Service Center. For the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com or call 1-800-348-0751.

Rules for Safe Driving
RIDING HAZARD
![]()
Prevent Injuries and Deaths
- Direct Adult Supervision Required.
- Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas
These areas must be:
- away from swimming pools and other bodies of water to prevent drownings.
- generally level to prevent tipovers.
- away from steps, driveways, cars, roads and alleys.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills are still very immature. Unsupervised driving by children can lead to serious injury. Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the children's skill level and ability to drive this vehicle safely. Children are not always able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they have been taught about them. THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR DIRECT ADULT SUPERVISION.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing operation of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates who want to drive this vehicle.
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving:
- Always sit on the seat.
- Always wear shoes.
- Only 2 (two) riders at a time. A child who is not sitting on the seat or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off, cause a tip-over or block the driver's view. A child could be seriously injured.
- Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
- Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water (such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs (such as stairs or decks).
- Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark. A child could encounter unexpected obstacles and have an accident. Operate the vehicle only in the daytime or a well-lit area.
![Fisher-Price - POWER WHEELS Jeep WRANGLER - Riding Rules Riding Rules]()
- Do not allow your child to drive on sloped or inclined surfaces. Restrict your child's driving to generally level ground ONLY!
- Do not allow your child to drive down or across a steep slope.
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal is released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.
- Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
- Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating parts such as motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag fingers, hair, etc., causing serious injury. Do not allow operation of the vehicle when it is on its side or in an upside-down position.
- Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle's electrical switches, like most electrical switches, emit an internal spark when first turned on or turned off. The presence of flammable liquids or vapors could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable products in tightly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.
- Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without direct adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.
To disconnect the motor harness connector and battery:
- Unfasten the hood latches and raise the hood.
- Unplug the motor harness connector from the battery.
- Lower the hood and fasten the hood latches.
How to Operate Your Vehicle

If you experience a problem with your vehicle, first check the Problems and Solutions Guide below. If you still experience a problem, please contact Power Wheels® Consumer Relations, toll-free at 1-800-348-0751 between 8 AM and 6 PM (EST) Monday through Friday. Or, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized service center. For the location nearest you, please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com.
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
Vehicle does not run | Undercharged battery | Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. |
Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector is plugged into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into the wall. |
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is "ON". |
Charger is not working | There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with your charger, contact your local Power Wheels ® authorized service center. They can test your charger for you. |
Tripped thermal fuse | Each Power Wheels ® 12 volt battery has a built-in thermal fuse. A thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. The fuse will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels ® authorized service center. |
Loose wire or loose connectors | Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness connector is plugged into the battery, and that there are no loose wires around the motors. |
Dead battery | If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are unsure whether or not the battery is dead, you can have it tested at your local Power Wheels ® authorized service center. |
Electrical switch damage | The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel. Contact your local Power Wheels ® authorized service center for diagnosis and repair. |

If only one rear wheel spins, carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down. The other rear wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel does not begin to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle. Contact your local Power Wheels ® authorized service center for diagnosis and repair. |
