Jeep Wrangler: STARTING THE ENGINE — GASOLINE ENGINE (IF EQUIPPED) / Manual Transmission — If Equipped

in NEUTRAL, and press the clutch pedal before
starting the vehicle. This vehicle is equipped
with a clutch interlocking ignition system. It will
not start unless the clutch pedal is pressed to
the floor.

In 4WD Low mode, if the vehicle is stalled, the
engine will start regardless of whether or not
the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor. This

the transfer case has been shifted into this
mode.
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and
