The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” (located in the instrument cluster)
starts to flash as soon as the tires lose trac-
tion and the ESC system becomes active.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions.
NOTE:
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indi -
cator Light” and the “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time
the ignition is turned ON.
Each time the ignition is turned ON, the
ESC system will be on even if it was turned
off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation. The “ESC OFF Indicator Light”
indicates the customer has elected
to have the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped
Hill Descent Control (HDC) is intended for
low speed off road driving while in 4L Range.
HDC maintains vehicle speed while
descending hills during various driving situa
-
tions. HDC controls vehicle speed by actively
controlling the brakes.
HDC has three states:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate)
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation conditions are not met, or
driver is actively overriding with brake or
throttle application)
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling vehicle speed) Enabling HDC
HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC switch,
but the following conditions must also be
met to enable HDC:
Driveline is in 4L Range
Vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h)
Park brake is released
Driver door is closed (If doors are
attached, then door must be closed. If
doors are detached, then driver seatbelt
must be buckled)
Activating HDC
Once HDC is enabled it will activate auto -
matically if driven down a grade of sufficient
magnitude. The set speed for HDC is select -
able by the driver, and can be adjusted by
using the gear shift +/-. The following
summarizes the HDC set speeds:
HDC Target Set Speeds
P = No set speed. HDC may be enabled
but will not activate
R = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
N = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 83

SAFETY
84
D = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
1st = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
3rd = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)
5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)
6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)
7th = 4.3 mph (7 km/h)
8th = 5.0 mph (8 km/h)
9th = 5.6 mph (9 km/h) – If Equipped
NOTE:
During HDC the +/- shifter input is used for
HDC target speed selection, but will not
affect the gear chosen by the transmission.
When actively controlling HDC, the transmis -
sion will shift appropriately for the
driver-selected set speed and corresponding
driving conditions. Driver Override
The driver may override HDC activation with
throttle or brake application at anytime.
Deactivating HDC
HDC will be deactivated but remain available
if any of the following conditions occur:
Driver overrides HDC set speed with
throttle or brake application
Vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h)
but remains below 40 mph (64 km/h)
Vehicle is on a downhill grade of insuffi -
cient magnitude, is on level ground, or is
on an uphill grade
Vehicle is shifted to PARK (P)
Disabling HDC
HDC will be deactivated and disabled if any
of the following conditions occur:
The driver pushes the HDC switch
The driveline is shifted out of 4L Range
The park brake is applied
Driver door opens (Driver door opens if
doors are attached or driver seatbelt is
unbuckled if doors are detached)
The vehicle is driven greater than 20 mph
(32 km/h) for greater than 70 seconds
The vehicle is driven greater than 40 mph
(64 km/h) (HDC exits immediately)
HDC detects excessive brake temperature
Feedback To The Driver
The instrument cluster has an HDC icon and
the HDC switch has an indicator light, which
offers feedback to the driver about the state
HDC is in.
The cluster icon and switch indicator light
will illuminate and remain on solid when
HDC is enabled or activated. This is the
normal operating condition for HDC.
The cluster icon and switch indicator light
will flash for several seconds then extin -
guish when the driver pushes the HDC
switch but enable conditions are not met.

The cluster icon and switch indicator light will
flash for several seconds then extinguish when
HDC disables due to excess speed.

2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 84

85
The cluster icon and switch indicator light
will flash when HDC deactivates due to
overheated brakes. The flashing will stop
and HDC will activate again once the
brakes have cooled sufficiently.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)

The Hill Start Assist (HSA) system is designed to
mitigate roll back from a complete stop while on
an incline. If the driver releases the brake while
stopped on an incline, HSA will continue to hold
the brake pressure for a short period. If the driver
does not apply the throttle before this time
expires, the system will release brake pressure
and the vehicle will roll down the hill as normal.
The following conditions must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled
The vehicle must be stopped
Park brake must be off
Driver door must be closed. (If the doors
are attached, then the door must be
closed. If the doors are detached then the
driver's seatbelt must be buckled)
The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade
The gear selection must match vehicle
uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill
is in forward gear; vehicle backing uphill is
in REVERSE (R) gear)
HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all
forward gears. The system will not activate
if the transmission is in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). For vehicles equipped with
a manual transmission, if the clutch is
pressed, HSA will remain active.
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off.
To change the current setting, refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
WARNING!
HDC is only intended to assist the driver in
controlling vehicle speed when descending
hills. The driver must remain attentive to
the driving conditions and is responsible
for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill
Start Assist (HSA) will not activate and
slight rolling may occur, such as on minor
hills or with a loaded vehicle, or while
pulling a trailer. HSA is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive to
distance to other vehicles, people, and
objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.

To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on. The instrument
cluster will display the “SERVICE TIRE PRES-
SURE SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the TPMS
will no longer chime or display the “SERVICE
TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will remain in
place of the pressure values.

To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires equipped with TPMS sensors. Then,
drive the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then turn off. The instru -
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE TIRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM” message and then
display pressure values in place of the
dashes. On the next ignition cycle the
"SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM"
message will no longer be displayed as long
as no system fault exists.OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features
in your vehicle are the restraint systems:
Occupant Restraint Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)
Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on
others. If you are not sure, ask an authorized
dealer.
Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the information
in this section. It tells you how to use your
restraint system properly, to keep you and
your passengers as safe as possible. Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying
air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information) must be secured in the
appropriate child restraint or belt-posi -
tioning booster seat in a rear seating
position.
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 97

SAFETY
98
(Continued)
3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in arear-facing child restraint) must ride in
the front passenger seat, move the seat
as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint. Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and
deployment occurs, the side air bags will
inflate forcefully into the space between
occupants and the door and occupants
could be injured. 9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs
to be modified to accommodate a
disabled person, refer to the “Customer
Assistance” section for customer service
contact information.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen
far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save
lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of
injuries in a collision. Some of the worst inju -
ries happen when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of
ejection and the risk of injury caused by
striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in
a motor vehicle should be belted at all times.
WARNING!

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur.

It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in
the event of a collision.
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the passenger side front seat in a
rear-facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front air bag must be
deactivated. Always make sure the
airbag deactivation indicator light is illu -
minated when using a child restraint
system. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.

Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
Front Seat and Second Row BeltAlert (If
Equipped) BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind
the driver and outboard front seat passenger
to buckle their seat belts. The BeltAlert
feature is active whenever the ignition switch
is in the START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition
switch is first in the START or ON/RUN posi -
tion, a chime will signal for a few seconds. If
the driver or outboard front seat passenger is
unbuckled when the ignition switch is first in
the START or ON/RUN position, the respec -
tive Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn solid
red and remain red until the seat belt is
buckled. The respective Seat Belt Reminder
Light will turn solid green once the seat belt
is buckled. After the driver and outboard
front seat passenger have buckled their seat
belts all Seat Belt Reminder Lights will turn
off. The outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert is not active when the outboard
front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is activated
when the vehicle is moving above a specified
vehicle speed range and the driver or
outboard front seat passenger is unbuckled
(the outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert
is not active when the outboard front
passenger seat is unoccupied). The BeltAlert
warning sequence starts by blinking the
respective Seat Belt Reminder Light and
sounding an intermittent chime. Once the
BeltAlert warning sequence has completed,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain
solid red until the driver and outboard front
seat passenger are buckled. The BeltAlert
warning sequence may repeat based on
vehicle speed until the driver and occupied
outboard front seat passenger seat belts are
buckled. The driver should instruct all occu
-
pants to buckle their seat belts.
Change of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat passenger
unbuckles their seat belt while the vehicle is
traveling, the BeltAlert warning sequence
will begin until the seat belts are buckled
again. The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert
is not active when the outboard front
passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert may
be triggered when an animal or other items
are placed on the outboard front passenger
seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets be
restrained in the rear seat (if equipped) in
pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured
by seat belts, and cargo is properly stowed.
Rear Seat BeltAlert (If Equipped)
Rear Seat BeltAlert shows the driver whether
the seat belts in the rear seat are buckled or
unbuckled (if equipped with Rear Seat
BeltAlert). When the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position, a Seat Belt
Reminder Light located in the upper right
corner of the instrument cluster turns on for
each second row seat position (if equipped
with Rear Seat BeltAlert). The Rear BeltAlert
warning sequence is activated when the
vehicle is moving above a specified vehicle
speed range.
If a second row seat belt is buckled, the Rear
BeltAlert Reminder light for that seating
position will illuminate solid green. If a rear
seat passenger is not wearing the seat belt,
the BeltAlert warning sequence will start (if
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 99

SAFETY

(Continued)
(Continued)
equipped with Rear Seat BeltAlert). The
respective Seat Belt Reminder light will illu -
minate solid red. If the seat belt is not
buckled when the vehicle exceeds a speci -
fied speed, the Rear Seat Belt Reminder
light will flash red and a continuous chime
will sound for approximately 30 seconds if
there is no change of status of the rear seat
belt buckles. If a rear seat passenger
unbuckles a seat belt while the vehicle is
travelling, the warning sequence will start
again and the Rear Seat Belt Reminder Light
for that position will change from green to
red. This will alert the driver to stop the
vehicle until the rear seat passenger buckles
the seat belt again. All rear seat BeltAlert
lights will remain illuminated for approxi -
mately 60 seconds (if equipped with Rear
Seat BeltAlert).

The Belt Reminder light will indicate if a rear
seat is not occupied and the seat belt is
unbuckled . If the rear seat is removed (for
vehicles with a removable rear seat) the Belt
Reminder light will illuminate two dashes .

Driver and Front Passenger BeltAlert can be
activated or deactivated by an authorized
dealer. Rear Seat BeltAlert cannot be deacti -
vated. FCA does not recommend deacti -
vating BeltAlert. NOTE:
If Front BeltAlert has been deactivated, the
Front Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn on
and remain on until the driver and outboard
front seat passenger seat belts are buckled.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only
during very sudden stops or collisions. This
feature allows the shoulder part of the seat
belt to move freely with you under normal
conditions. However, in a collision the seat
belt will lock and reduce your risk of striking
the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out
of the vehicle.
WARNING!
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to
restrain you properly. In some collisions,
the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though you have
air bags.
In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you
are not properly buckled up. You can
strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of
the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.

It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.

Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an air bag is
also provided at their seating position to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.

WARNING! (Continued)
2020_JEEP_JL_WRANGLER_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 100

101
(Continued)
(Continued)
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries,
or you could even slide out of the seat
belt. Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep your
passengers safe, too.

Two people should never be belted into a
single seat belt. People belted together can
crash into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never use a lap/
shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than
one person, no matter what their size.

WARNING!
A lap belt worn too high can increase the
risk of injury in a collision. The seat belt
forces won’t be at the strong hip and
pelvic bones, but across your abdomen.
Always wear the lap part of your seat belt
as low as possible and keep it snug.
WARNING! (Continued)
A twisted seat belt may not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could even cut
into you. Be sure the seat belt is flat
against your body, without twists. If you
can’t straighten a seat belt in your
vehicle, take it to an authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.
A seat belt that is buckled into the wrong
buckle will not protect you properly. The
lap portion could ride too high on your
body, possibly causing internal injuries.
Always buckle your seat belt into the
buckle nearest you.
A seat belt that is too loose will not
protect you properly. In a sudden stop,
you could move too far forward,
increasing the possibility of injury. Wear
your seat belt snugly.
WARNING! (Continued)
A seat belt that is worn under your arm is
dangerous. Your body could strike the
inside surfaces of the vehicle in a colli -
sion, increasing head and neck injury. A
seat belt worn under the arm can cause
internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as
shoulder bones. Wear the seat belt over
your shoulder so that your strongest
bones will take the force in a collision.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will
not protect you from injury during a colli -
sion. You are more likely to hit your head
in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt
are meant to be used together.
A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart
in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the seat belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the seat belt system.
Seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision.
