Jeep Wrangler: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS / BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic
brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic
systems loses normal capability, the remaining
system will still function. However, there will be
some loss of overall braking effectiveness. You
may notice increased pedal travel during
application, greater pedal force required to slow
or stop, and potential activation of the Brake
Warning Light.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason
(i.e., repeated brake applications with the
engine off) the brakes will still function.
However, the effort required to brake the
vehicle will be much greater than that required
with the power system operating.
The VIN is found on the left front corner of the
A-pillar, visible from outside of the vehicle
through the windshield.
Vehicle Identification Number
NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN plate...
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to
the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug nuts/
bolts should be torqued using a properly
calibrated torque wrench using a six sided (hex)
deep wall socket...
Other information:
Remove the rear seats.
Remove the sides grommets (one left and
one right). First the grommet from the side
carpet and then the rear carpet.
Side Carpet
Remove the grommets under the front seat
(one left and one right).
Then pull the carpet out to the rear and
open the carpet split around the front seats
brackets...
The 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...
