It is sad how backwards America is these days when it comes to technology adoption.
Don't you have a protest somewhere to attend?

Meanwhile let us enjoy our American backwardness.

Thanks's God for this forum's "ignore" feature, just caught another buzzard. 🤣🤣🤣

The Lowes employees should be helping customer with expertise recommending a unique tool or material.
They should, but...even a regular DIYer like myself sees more than a little truth in this exchange.

Printing 600 pages that are rarely if ever used by the majority of owners is wasteful. By promoting an electronic copy on the infotainment and on the phone (available off line), Jeep would be promoting more people to actually consult the manual.

Printing mostly 600 pages for the lowest common denominator... but I guess some people need those reminders.

Don't drink the coolant.
Don't leave kids or pets in hot vehicles.
Don't run an engine in an enclosed space.
Don't let a toddler play with the keys.
Don't drive on public roads with the doors removed.
Don't adjust the steering column while driving.

Thank goodness for searchable PDF's.

Guess what? You can have the manual permanently printed at request or just download the file. I bet you find what you’re looking for in an emergency quicker using the search function than flipping through the index. “But what if my device dies” - again, printed manual. Available. Just non-standard. Like going off-road. Not a standard activity for 90% of wrangler buyers.
I had no signal for 3 days on the Cassiar Highway on the way to Alaska. Also true in Teklanika in Denali National Park and numerous other places across Canada and Alaska. This was also true in some parts on Montanna. Sometimes you don't even have to be off-road for it.

Sure I can print one carry one whatever but with a MSRP on my Jeep of $62,000 why should i have to?
I'm not looking for a Chilton Manual (if they even still make those). I am looking for something more useful than the pamphlet they give you.

Stellantis, if you want to try to market Jeep as an upmarket brand, stop cheaping out on $2 worth of paper.


of course if you don't leave Long Island, I guess you're ok.

Hey man I agree with you that it should be free should you want one. No doubt about it.

Also, I leave Long Island all the time. No need to try to take a jab at me.

Glovebox is already too small for that. Better to have an electronic version on my iPad so it is searchable.

I apologize, nothing meant by it other than if you haven't travelled into areas like that you may not understand the need. I guess it didn't come out the way i meant it....

I was in Moab last month.. same thing there off some of the simplest trails.
