applying the brake and/or reducing engine torque. Hill Start Assist (HSA) prevents Wrangler from unintended rolling backward when starting the vehicle on a downhill
gradient, holding the vehicle stationary for two seconds after the brake is released, allowing time to apply the throttle. The mid-mounted fuel tank is protected by its robust
2.5-mm skid plate during off-road activity. Energy-absorbing front rail extensions are crushable, hydro formed front rail tips that can be serviced after low-speed
(up to 8 mph) impact events. Standard halogen headlamps and fog lamps improve
down-road visibility.
Star ratings are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's SaferCar.gov program (safercar.gov).
