Jeep Wrangler: STOP/START SYSTEM — MANUAL TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED) / To Start The Engine While In Autostop Mode
When the gear selector is in NEUTRAL, the
engine will start when the clutch pedal is
pressed (does not require complete/full pedal
press). The vehicle will go into STOP/START
SYSTEM NOT READY mode until the vehicle
speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Conditions that will cause the engine to start
automatically while in STOP/START AUTO STOP
ACTIVE mode
The Engine Will Start Automatically When:
- Actual cabin temperature is significantly
different than temperature set on Auto HVAC.
- HVAC is set to full defrost mode.
- HVAC system temperature or fan speed is
manually adjusted higher.
- STOP/START AUTO STOP ACTIVE time
exceeds 5 minutes.
- Battery voltage drops too low.
- Vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph
(8 km/h).
- STOP/START OFF switch is pressed.
- Transfer case is in 4WD Low or N (Neutral).
- Steering wheel is turned beyond threshold
(ESS Models Only).
Prior to engine shut down, the system will check
many safety and comfort conditions to see if
they are fulfilled. Situations when the engine
will not stop include (but not limited to):
Driver’s seat belt is not buckled...
Push the Stop/Start OFF switch (located on
the switch bank). The light on the switch
will illuminate.
Stop/Start OFF Switch
The STOP/START OFF message will appear

Other information:
ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by
monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and
the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines
that the rate of change of the steering wheel
angle and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to
potentially cause wheel lift, it then applies the
appropriate brake and may also reduce engine
power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will
occur...
NOTE:
Before fully lowering the soft top, the rear
window and rear quarter windows must be
removed.
Remove The Rear Window:

window’s plastic retainers from the lower
right and left corners.
