Off-Road Capabilities; Command-Trac®/Rock-Trac; Axle Lock (Tru-Lok®) Rubicon Only - Jeep Wrangler User Manual

OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

COMMAND-TRAC®/ROCK-TRAC®
• The transfer case provides four
mode positions: 2H (Two-wheel
drive high range), 4H (Four-wheel
drive high range), N (Neutral), and
4L (Four-wheel drive low range).
• The transfer case is intended to be
driven in the 2H position for
normal street and highway
conditions such as hard-surfaced
roads.
• Shifting between 2H and 4H can
be made with the vehicle stopped
or in motion. Shift the transfer
case lever firmly to 4H at any
speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Shifting between 4H and 4L can be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL or
fully depress the clutch pedal on a manual transmission. Shift the transfer
case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in
NEUTRAL). Once the shift is completed, place the automatic
transmission into DRIVE or release the clutch pedal on a manual
transmission.
NOTE: To enhance off-road performance in 4L mode, manual transmission
vehicles will start regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is depressed.
