JEEP WRANGLER 2013 Owners Manual

Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for
recreational towing.

•If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum
heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control
to high. This allows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat
from the engine cooling system.

should be jacked on a firm level surface only.
