Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon — Hybrid Only
This warning will be displayed on the instrument panel display when the vehicle has determined an operational issue will occur shortly, which will cause the vehicle’s propulsion system to turn off. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible. Have the vehicle transported to an authorized dealer.
- This message will be displayed continuously
- Cannot be cleared with button press
- A single chime will sound
Stop Safely And Leave The Vehicle As Soon As Possible — Hybrid Only
A warning will appear on the instrument panel display if the system detects the high voltage battery has overheated. This can result in a vehicle fire, and the release of toxic and/or flammable gases. To reduce the risk of a larger fire, the vehicle’s high voltage propulsion system will turn off within thirty seconds of displaying this warning. At that time, the vehicle may not accelerate. You can still steer and brake the vehicle.
Stop and park the vehicle in an open area. Have all passengers exit the vehicle as soon as possible and move to a safe distance away from the vehicle. After all passengers safely exit the vehicle, call emergency responders immediately. Even if you do not see flames, a fire may start at any moment, so do not attempt to re-enter or start the vehicle.
- This message will be displayed continuously.
- Cannot be cleared with a button press.
- A continuous and rapid chime will sound.
CAUTION!
If the instrument cluster instructs you to change the engine oil, do not reset the service indicator without changing the oil. Engine damage may result.
CAUTION!
- An overheated High Voltage Battery may result in electrical systems damage. Do not attempt to restart the vehicle. The vehicle must be towed to an authorized dealer.
OIL CHANGE RESET — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will display in the instrument cluster display for five seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
To turn off the message temporarily, push and release the OK button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure.
Oil Life Reset
- Without pushing the brake pedal, place the ignition in the ON/RUN mode (do not start the engine).
- Navigate to “Oil Life” submenu in “Vehicle Info” in the instrument cluster display.
- Push and hold the OK button until the gauge resets to 100%.
Secondary Method For Oil Change Reset Procedure
- Without pushing the brake pedal, place the ignition in the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
- Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within ten seconds.
- Without pushing the brake pedal, place the ignition in the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
ELECTRIC MODE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
If Electric Drive mode is unavailable, the reason will display for five seconds at start up. If your check engine light comes on, see an authorized dealer immediately.
See the following information for the most common reasons that the Electric mode would be unavailable:
Operator Choices that can inhibit Electric mode
- Transmission in Manual Shift mode – Shift to Drive to use Electric mode.
- Heavily depressed accelerator pedal position, requesting high power demand – Beyond the limits of the electric drivetrain, will cause engine to run, enabling the powertrain to produce its full combined power available in Hybrid mode.
- Sustained high speed operation in Electric mode -Using the engine is more efficient for high speeds than Electric drive.
- Transfer case and drive mode selection – eSave mode almost always runs the engine. Hybrid mode, in 4WD Low, will also run the engine.
- Electric range is depleted – You need to recharge to enjoy Electric mode, or you can continue normally in Hybrid.
- Hood open (or a hood switch fault) – This is to prevent unexpected engine starts with the hood open.
Thermal Protection that can inhibit Electric mode
- Engine, transmission or engine starting belt too cold- Some systems require warm up to function properly if the outside temperature is below 32°F (15°F in Electric Drive mode).
- Electric cabin heating capacity limits (or electric cabin heater fault)- Unlike Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV’s), the Hybrid Wrangler can warm the cabin more efficiently with engine heat when operating below 15°F outside temperature.
- HV battery, motors or contactors over temperature- This is a temporary hardware protection feature. Vehicle performance will resume once protection is no longer required. If the vehicle performance is accompanied with the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), have the vehicle serviced at an authorized dealership.
Component Protection that can inhibit Electric mode
- HV battery undervoltage – Sustained EV operation at high speed, especially with aftermarket wheels and tires, can induce this.
- Other electric propulsion system faults indicated by a MIL – Please bring the vehicle to your dealership for service.
- Fuel And Oil Refresh mode – See the following section.
Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode
Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for extended periods of time without running the gas engine, the fuel within the vehicle’s fuel tank can become stale or the engine oil’s lubricating properties can be reduced. To prevent engine and/or fuel system damage due to stale fuel, as well as maintaining internal engine lubrication, this vehicle is equipped with a Fuel and Oil Refresh mode.
The vehicle will automatically enter into the Fuel and Oil Refresh mode to minimize potential for stale fuel, and to ensure lubrication of internal engine components. When operating in this mode, the gas engine will run to provide vehicle propulsion (electric only operation is inhibited). A message will be displayed in the instrument cluster when Oil Refresh mode or Fuel Refresh mode is active.
The vehicle will automatically exit the Fuel and Oil Refresh mode when fuel and lubrication conditions have been satisfied. If the vehicle enters Fuel or Oil Refresh mode, due to fuel which has been in the fuel tank for a long period of time (becoming stale fuel), the engine will run whenever the vehicle is operational (no electric only operation) until the Low Fuel Level warning is activated. It is also possible to exit the Fuel and Oil Refresh mode sooner by adding a minimum of four gallons (15 Liters) of new fuel to the vehicle’s fuel tank.
NOTE:
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh mode to maintain engine lubrication, adding fuel will not exit the mode sooner.
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh mode to maintain engine lubrication properties, the engine may run for a period of up to 2.5 hours when fully warm whenever the vehicle is operational (no electric only operation). If the vehicle is shut down before conditions to exit the refresh mode have been satisfied, the engine may run for additional time on subsequent trips. Oil refresh may take significantly longer in freezing temperatures.
NOTE:
- Frequent short trips at low ambient temperature conditions where the engine does not reach normal operating temperatures are more likely to trigger the lubrication based mode.
- Electric drive mode will be temporarily unavailable while the Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode (FORM) is active. Do not attempt to return to Electric Mode until the FORM cycle is complete.
CAUTION!
If the instrument cluster instructs you to change the engine oil, do not reset the service indicator without changing the oil. Engine damage may result.
DISPLAY AND MESSAGES
The instrument cluster display is located in the center portion of the cluster and consist of multiple sections:
- Main Screen — The inner ring of the display will illuminate in black under normal conditions, yellow for noncritical warnings and red for critical warnings
- Submenu Dots — Whenever there are submenus available, the position within the submenus is shown here
- Reconfigurable Telltales/Information
- Gear Selector Status (PRND)
- Driver Interactive Display (Compass, Temp, Range to Empty, Trip A, Trip B, Average Fuel Economy, Current Fuel Economy and Time)
- Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Status — If Equipped
The instrument cluster display will normally display the main menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main menu. The main display area also displays pop-up messages and warning or information messages. These pop-up messages fall into several categories:
- Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of message takes control of the main display area for five seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most of the messages of this type are then stored (as long as the condition that activated it remains active) and can be reviewed from the “Messages” main menu item. Examples of this message type are “Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out” and “Low Tire Pressure”. - Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the condition that activated the message is cleared. Examples of this message type are “Turn Signal On” (if a turn signal is left on) and “Lights On” (if driver leaves the vehicle with the lights on). - Unstored Messages Until RUN
These messages deal primarily with the Remote Start feature. This message type is displayed until the ignition is in the RUN state. Examples of this message type are “Remote Start Canceled – Door Ajar” and “Press Brake Pedal and Push Button to Start”. - Five Second Unstored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of message takes control of the main display area for five seconds and then returns to the previous screen. An example of this message type is “Automatic High Beams On”.

BATTERY SAVER ON/BATTERY SAVER MODE MESSAGE — ELECTRICAL LOAD REDUCTION ACTIONS — IF EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical system and status of the vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, electrical load reduction actions will take place to extend the driving time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing power to or turning off non-essential electrical loads.
Load reduction is only active when the engine is running. It will display a message if there is a risk of battery depletion to the point where the vehicle may stall due to lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the current drive cycle.
When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the instrument cluster display.
These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.
NOTE:
- The charging system is independent from load reduction. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the charging system continuously.
- If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may indicate a problem with the charging system ð page 140.
The following are electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped), and vehicle functions which can be affected by load reduction:
- Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel
- Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
- HVAC System
- 150W Power Inverter System
- Audio and Telematics System
Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the following conditions:
- The charging system cannot deliver enough electrical power to the vehicle system because the electrical loads are larger than the capability of the charging system. The charging system is still functioning properly.
- Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads (e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights, overloaded power outlets +12 Volt, 150W, USB ports) during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing, frequent stopping).
- Installing options like additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar devices.
- Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by long parking periods).
- The vehicle was parked for an extended period of time (weeks, months).
- The battery was recently replaced and was not charged completely.
- The battery was discharged by an electrical load left on when the vehicle was parked.
- The battery was used for an extended period with the engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers, +12 Volt portable appliances like vacuum cleaners, game consoles and similar devices.
What to do when an electrical load reduction action message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode”)
During a trip:
- Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:
- Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)
- Check what may be plugged in to power outlets + 12 Volt, 150W, USB ports
- Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)
- Check the audio settings (volume)
After a trip:
- Check if any aftermarket equipment was installed (additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load and Ignition Off Draw currents).
- Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, driving time and parking time).
- The vehicle should have service performed if the message is still present during consecutive trips and the evaluation of the vehicle and driving pattern did not help to identify the cause.
