Little things you discovered on your JL

I know I saw this posted at least one other place, but I am surprised that in 22 pages there is no mention of this. Not sure if everybody has the same thing here, dealer said they saw a pineapple also.

Mine fold as pictured, but that fold is forward, so I don't see how that would help with a child seat. Lucky for me, I was able to switch to just the bottom booster seat the same time my new JL arrives, so I'm OK on that front. But I don't recall the headrests in my JK being adjustable, either, though maybe they were removable? Never had a problem with a car seat, even the massive ones for really young kids, in any of my JKs. Hope you find a solution!

I had the same issue in my JK. Its a front facing Recaro child seat for my 3 year old. As pictured, the headrest should be able to fold all the way forward, literally touching the back of the seat. That way there is no large gap between the car-seat and the seat itself. The top of my childs carseat rests against the headrest which does not allow the car-seat to rest firmly against the seat. Long story short, it pisses me off because the headrest is in the freakin way and I cant remove it.

What does this do??? I've turned it all the way up and all the way down, nothing changes. The wheel next to it controls my dash/touch screen lights and will turn on the overhead lights.

That dial controls the ambient lighting but if you have your dash lighting set to max which is one click less than the dome being on it does nothing but if you go one more click down then you can ceontrol the ambient lighting

That dial does not do anything on a Sport or Sport S since those trim levels do not have ambient lighting.

Really, that seems prettty dam silly to put the dial there is it does nothing, if it does nothing I would have preferred it been left out.

Sport S has some LEDs in your unlock handle area, that can be dimmed by the switch

I've noticed that it only seems to affect footwell lighting, and it only works at night. Or perhaps when the headlights are on.

Pair of sandals. On passenger side cowl. Takes the right light to see them the first time.

Remember back when GM cars had 2 damn keys to mess with? Door key and ignition key... Those were the days...

Here’s a little thing.

My short little wife can rest her feet on the floorboard while driving the JL. In my JK her right foot had to be off the floor to be on the gas or brake. Huge improvement for little pregnant wifey.

How tall is she? My wife is only 4' 9", her feet barely touch also.

If I lower the dash lighting at I can’t even see it.

There are two barrel roll switches, the one on the left needs to be turned all the way up ( this is the one that controls the brightness of the ambient lighting) the one on the right needs to be two clicks down from the dome light being on.

She's 5'2. She can drive it comfortably.

Finally looked and found what the otherwise useless roller switch does, adjusts these very dim lights.
