I have read where leaving the seat belt buckled on 2018 - 2019 Jeep JLs will prevent auto lock from activating, such as when sending the Jeep through an automatic car wash where the transmission must be in neutral. However, on my 2021 JL, fastening the driver's seat belt when leaving the transmission in neutral will not prevent auto lock from activating, unless the engine is left idling. If the engine is shut off, the auto park feature will activate even with the seat belt buckled. It appears that the 2021 auto park operates differently than earlier model JLs.
While leaving the engine idling and transmission in neutral while the vehicle travels along the track going through an automatic car wash is possible (no occupants in the vehicle per car wash rules), I do not feel comfortable doing this.
Does anyone have a solution where the transmission can be in neutral, engine off and auto park not activated on a 2021 JL?
