Cold Weather Group Explained

As someone who lives in a cold winter climate, that heated steering wheel is the absolute schizz! I may wear that feature out from overuse.

Remote start is not available with manual transmission, safety issue, could start in gear so definitely a no no.

You missed the point. The point is it costs $495. But the credit you get for NOT getting it with a manual is much less. I know you can't get it with a manual. Sorry for the confusion.

So...can you plug the Block Heater into the 115v outlet in the Jeep?

Sure. As long as you keep the car running. :cwl:

Quick question on the cold weather group. Does anyone know if the seat heaters and steering wheel heater comes on when you remote start under a certain temperature, and if it does can you adjust that temperature threshold?

My wife's WK2 does if you remote start in anything 40deg and under. I wish I was able to adjust that up to 50, but it is pre-set and can't be changed.

Pretty sure the manual indicated they do come on at certain temps... Same for the ac in summer

Yeah, they come on when temp hit's 40 [i think] and it works great. You'll have to turn it down/ off after driving a bit.

heated seats and steering wheel and everything in the cold weather group is customizable on your center screen settings. you can also select what heat options you want to come on with remote start

Thanks guys I haven't had much time with the hood up yet. Now I know what to look for. Why no info in the manual, (at least the way I was searching for it). Tempature recommendations/ when to use?

If it goes below 0 degrees F (or about -20 C) plug in the block heater about 4 hours (or more) before you want to start the Jeep.

Just remember to use a very long extension cord if you tend to forget to unplug the block heater!

If it goes below 0 Degrees F, odds are you won’t see me till spring. It amazes me anyone could live in that and function.

You’d think they’d find a way to put a light or notification in the instrument cluster when it’s plugged up.

That just looks like it’d be miserable

I was just about to post..."Yeah, but that's celsius" fully expecting to post some much higher Fahrenheit number. No, no.....-37 C = -34.6 F. Odd.

Cold, none the less. Damn cold!

The C and F scales meet at -40 degrees.

I even had to use some gasline antifreeze this year. I had gotten an Electronic Throttle Control warning light in my car.
