I was going through my gauges today and when i got to the off road section it showed a lock symbol on the front driveshaft, rear driveshaft and transfer case. I was not in 4wd. I even engaged 4wd and disengaged and the transfer case lock went away but the other 2 stayed on. I shut the engine off and restarted and the rear lock was gone but other 2 were back on. Again engaged and disengaged 4wd and transfer case went away but not front axle. I have a 2018 JLU Sport S. I dont have lockers so i dont understand why it shows these symbols. Anyone else have this problem???

I'm also wondering the same thing. What do these symbols mean? I sometimes see 1, 2 or 3 icons on my vehicle, 2018 JL Sport Unlimited.

I found this video on Youtube which seems to explain that the lock symbols are erroneously displayed on the Sport models and that Jeep is, supposedly, working on a software update to fix the display issue. Still doesn't explain why sometimes we see them and other times we don't.

Something wonky is going on with your computer, it seems to think that you have a Rubicon somehow. Have you been messing with anything in the computer with Jscan, tazer, etc?

Also, yeah... that odometer doesn't quite seem right.
