It is normal that these systems are not present in the manual

Hey guys, I have been very pleased with the majority of new features on the JL (Easy fold down windshield, solid full roll cage, zipperless soft top, etc.) but there have been a few design features that have just been very puzzling almost like what were they thinking (bottom of soft top side windows not aligning with door windows, position of side markers on front fenders). Being this is an interior thread, I was wondering if anyone else was bothered by the non symmetric integration of the dash center stack? I think the dash would be much more aesthetically pleasing if the surface where the start/stop button is installed was flush with the the grab bar and climate control surround or vice versa. Another item of concern for me is that the rearview mirror is mounted to the A pillar as opposed to the windshield, and there doesn't appear to be any room to install a traditional CB radio. Thoughts?

Jeepless at the moment.

The park-sense is part of the safety package. Not sure about decent control. But this one probably doesn't have all the boxes checked on the build sheet. Nothing to do with manual.

The flush transition vs the stepped transition didn't bother me until you pointed it out. Thanks for that. :lipssealed:;)

I'm hoping that the appearance of that difference will change when you are sitting in the drivers seat, so it won't appear so unbalanced. If someone is so unfortunate as to be sitting in the middle of my back seat, I'm guessing they will be too busy feeling uncomfortable to notice lack of symmetry and will be focused on how they should really buy their own jeep.

Not sure the sub is bigger. The JKSub was 12”x8” if I remember right. I would guess the JL sub is a 10”. We need someone with a tape measure to find one of these mules.

The second picture is a manual. They don't get hill decent, you just put it in 4 low and 1st gear and crawl.
Added automated brake control would be nice , but likely goes against the spirit of the manual.

4Lo and 1st gear works in the auto too, and should be even more effective if just going based on gearing in the ZF8, however my big concern is the newer coasting features in the transmissions that could possibly diminish engine braking effectiveness. And yes, unfortunatrly those features are coming to manuals too.

There is a sensor that turns off ESS on steep grades, so maybe the same sensor will trigger the coasting function to turn off on steep grades.

Perhaps I should rather say that there appears to be a sensor for steep grades, because the owner's manual says ESS is shut off on steep grades automatically. I don't really know how that works.

Yeah, at this point I don’t think any of us do, and I doubt many Durango and current Grand Cherokee owners have gone off-road enough to test these theories with the new 850RE.
