If the HI level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LO level after
approximately 60 minutes of continuous
operation. At that time, the display will
change from HI to LO, indicating the change.
The LO level setting will turn off automati -
cally after approximately 45 minutes.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
seats to operate. Vehicles With Remote Start — If Equipped
On models that are equipped with remote
start, the heated seats can be programmed to
come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must
exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat,
such as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting
in a seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased

however, see an authorized dealer for service
as soon as possible. NOTE:
This light may turn on if the accelerator and
brake pedals are pressed at the same time.
If the light continues to flash when the
vehicle is running, immediate service is
required and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle, or
engine stall and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will come on when the igni
-
tion is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
Engine Temperature Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
warn of an overheated engine condi -
tion. If the engine coolant tempera -
ture is too high, this light will illuminate and
a single chime will sound.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system
is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and
call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “In
Case Of Emergency” for further information.

Stopping The Engine
Vehicles Equipped With A Mechanical Key Fob:
To turn off the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the car in a position that does notcause a traffic hazard.
2. Place the transmission in gear (models with a manual transmission) or place the
transmission in PARK (P) (models with
automatic transmission).
3. With the engine idling, place the ignition in the STOP/OFF position.
4. Remove the key from the ignition when the engine is shut off.
Vehicles Equipped With Electronic Key
(Keyless Ignition):
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), you must push
and hold the START/STOP button or push
the START/STOP button three times consec -
utively within a few seconds. The engine will
shut down, and the ignition will be placed in
the RUN position.
Turning Off the car (placing the ignition from
the RUN position to the STOP position), the
power supply to the accessories are main -
tained for a period of three minutes. Opening the driver side door with the ignition
in RUN will sound a short chime that
reminds the driver to place the ignition to
STOP.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF posi
-
tion, the window switches remains active for
three minutes. Opening a front door will
cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow
the temperature inside the engine compart -
ment to cool before shutting off the engine.
Normal Starting — Diesel Engine
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten
your seat belts.
The starter is allowed to crank for up to
30-second intervals. Waiting a few minutes
between such intervals will protect the
starter from overheating.
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always come to
a complete stop, then shift the auto-
matic transmission into PARK and apply
the parking brake.
Always make sure the keyless ignition
node is in the OFF mode, key fob is
removed from the vehicle and vehicle is
locked.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Leaving children in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A
child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.

STARTING AND OPERATING
144
lower gear will improve performance and
extend transmission life by reducing exces-
sive shifting and heat buildup.
If the transmission temperature exceeds
normal operating limits, the transmission
controller may modify the transmission shift
schedule, reduce engine torque, and/or
expand the range of torque converter clutch
engagement. This is done to prevent trans -
mission damage due to overheating.
If the transmission becomes extremely hot,
the "Transmission Temperature Warning
Light" may illuminate, and the transmission
may operate differently until the transmis -
sion cools down.
During cold temperatures, transmission
operation may be modified depending on
engine and/or transmission temperature as
well as vehicle speed. This feature improves
warm up time of the engine and transmission
to achieve maximum efficiency. Engagement
of the torque converter clutch (and, for the
nine-speed, shifts into 8th or 9th gear), are
inhibited until the engine and/or transmis -
sion is warm (refer to the “Note” under
“Torque Converter Clutch” in this section).
Normal operation will resume once the
temperature(s) have risen to a suitable level.AUTOSTICK
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing manual shift control, giving
you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick
allows you to maximize engine braking, elim -
inate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more
control during passing, city driving, cold slip -
pery conditions, mountain driving, trailer
towing, and many other situations.
Operation
When the gear selector is in the AutoStick
position (beside the DRIVE position), it can
be moved forward and rearward. This allows
the driver to manually select the transmis -
sion gear being used. Moving the gear
selector forward (-) triggers a downshift and
rearward (+) an upshift. The current gear is
displayed in the instrument cluster.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will
shift up or down when the driver moves the
gear selector rearward (+) or forward (-),
unless an engine lugging or overspeed condi -
tion would result. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or down -
shift is chosen, except as described below.
Six-speed transmissions will automatically
upshift when necessary to prevent engine
over-speed.
The transmission will automatically down -
shift as the vehicle slows (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the
current gear.
The transmission will automatically down -
shift to FIRST gear when coming to a stop.
After a stop, the driver should manually
upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle
is accelerated.
You can start out, from a stop, in FIRST or
SECOND gear (or THIRD gear, in six-speed
models, or in 4WD LOW range, SNOW
mode, or SAND mode, where available).
Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting
in SECOND gear. Starting out in SECOND
gear can be helpful in snowy or icy condi -
tions.
If a requested downshift would cause the
engine to over-speed, that shift will not
occur.
The system will ignore attempts to upshift
at too low of a vehicle speed.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 144

145
Transmission shifting will be more notice-
able when AutoStick is enabled.
The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.
NOTE:
When Selec-Speed or Hill Descent Control is
enabled, AutoStick is not active.
To disengage AutoStick, return the gear
selector to the DRIVE position. You can shift
in or out of the AutoStick position at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electron -
ically for abnormal conditions. If a condition
is detected that could result in transmission
damage, Transmission Limp Home Mode is
activated. In this mode, the transmission
may operate only in a fixed gear, or may remain in NEUTRAL. The Malfunction Indi
-
cator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be
driven to an authorized dealer for service
without damaging the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all
forward gears by performing the following
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
3. Turn the ignition to the OFF position. On vehicles with push button start, push and
hold the ignition until the engine turns
OFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the trans -
mission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an authorized
dealer at your earliest possible convenience. An authorized dealer has diagnostic equip
-
ment to assess the condition of your trans -
mission. If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy
has been included in the automatic trans -
mission on your vehicle. A clutch within the
torque converter engages automatically at
calibrated speeds. This may result in a
slightly different feeling or response during
normal operation in the upper gears. When
the vehicle speed drops or during some
accelerations, the clutch automatically
disengages.
NOTE:
The torque converter clutch will not engage
until the engine and/or transmission is warm
(usually after 1 to 3 miles [2 to 5 km] of
driving). Because the engine speed is higher
when the torque converter clutch is not
engaged, it may seem as if the transmission
is not shifting properly when the vehicle is
cold. This is normal. The torque converter
clutch will function normally once the power -
train is sufficiently warm.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine
braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the
vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.

4. Disconnect the opposite end of the posi-
tive (+) jumper cable from the positive
(+) post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
If frequent jump starting is required to start
your vehicle, you should have the battery and
charging system inspected at an authorized
dealer.
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY
— IF EQUIPPED
The fuel filling procedure in case of emer -
gency is described in the “Emergency Refu -
eling Procedure”. Refer to “Adding Fuel” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa -
tion. The vehicle is equipped with a refueling
funnel. If refueling is necessary, while using
an approved gas can, please insert the refu
-
eling funnel into the filler neck opening.
Refueling Funnel
Inserting Funnel
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating your
engine by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads “H,” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you hear
continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 204

205
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
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 supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs, and the gear
selector cannot be moved out of the PARK
position, you can use the following procedure
to temporarily move the gear selector:
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Apply the park brake.
3. Grasp the boot material rearward of thegear selector and pull up to carefully
separate the gear selector bezel and boot
assembly from the center console.
Gear Selector Bezel
4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal. 5. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool
down into the gear selector override
access hole (at the right rear corner of the
gear selector assembly), and push and
hold the override release lever down.
Gear Selector Override Access Hole
6. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the gear selector boot.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 205

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
206
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand
or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, push and hold the lock button on
the gear selector. Then shift back and forth
between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) (for
automatic transmission) or SECOND GEAR
and REVERSE (for manual transmission)
while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission,
shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R)
can only be achieved at wheel speeds of
5 mph (8 km/h) or less. Whenever the trans -
mission remains in NEUTRAL (N) for more
than two seconds, you must press the brake
pedal to engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressure that will maintain the rocking
motion without spinning the wheels or racing
the engine. NOTE:
Push the “ESC Off” switch (if necessary), to
place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information. Once the
vehicle has been freed, push the “ESC Off”
switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels
may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. Allow the engine to idle with
the transmission in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will mini
-
mize overheating and reduce the risk of
clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by
shifting between DRIVE/SECOND gear
and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drive -
train damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also
damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear
(no transmission shifting occurring).
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 206

229(Continued)
Under normal operating conditions, the cata-
lytic converter will not require maintenance.
However, it is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to assure proper catalyst
operation and prevent possible catalyst
damage.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems can result in civil penalties being
assessed against you.
In unusual situations involving grossly
malfunctioning engine operation, a
scorching odor may suggest severe and
abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs,
stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and allow it to cool. Service, including a tune-up
to manufacturer's specifications, should be
obtained immediately.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic
converter damage:
Do not interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the vehicle is
in motion.
Do not try to start the vehicle by pushing
or towing the vehicle.
Do not idle the engine with any ignition
components disconnected or removed,
such as when diagnostic testing, or for
prolonged periods during very rough idle or
malfunctioning operating conditions.
Cooling System
Coolant Checks
Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protec
-
tion every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty
in appearance, the system should be
drained, flushed and refilled with fresh
engine coolant (antifreeze). Check the front
of the A/C condenser for any accumulation
of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently
spraying water from a garden hose vertically
down the face of the condenser.
Damage to the catalytic converter can
result if your vehicle is not kept in proper
operating condition. In the event of
engine malfunction, particularly
involving engine misfire or other
apparent loss of performance, have your
vehicle serviced promptly. Continued
operation of your vehicle with a severe
malfunction could cause the converter to
overheat, resulting in possible damage to
the converter and vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
