What did you NOT KNOW about your Jeep until today?

[Heimkehr]

hmmm. i have a tazer, and disabled my auto park, i can now drive backwards, but, if i try to go forwards the damn autopark still kicks in.. .

i wish it would stop, sometimes i dont want to close the door pulling in or out of the garage......

This $20 accessory completely disables the Auto Park function.

4xe models require different floor mats!! Make sure they say compatible with 4xe PHEV or they don't fit.

I found it interesting, and wasn't aware, of how large and squared the axle bolt holes are for the front lower control arms.

I didn't know until last night (my wife actually pointed it out to me) that the front center console cup holders are lit up when the headlights are on.

Also, with a Tazer JL you can eliminate that "feature" if you don't want it.

Hm, I haven't seen it there in the Tazer's menu. What's it called?

Considered getting an AEV Jack Base. It takes up no usable space when mounted in the passenger footwell.

Useful idea, but not for $83 for a piece of molded plastic that takes $3 to make in China! 4x4 offcuts are free.

That the paint is this shitty. 5K miles.

I got the door sill guards too. What's the point of them if they don't cover the highest-wear part of the sill?

Under the Live Settings menu:
“AP Kill” - disable AutoPark system

my friends brand new stock Sahara is too high for the enclosed scissor jack. She had a flat. Had to call a friend to bring some boards.

so, check your jack, make sure you can lift your Jeep enough to change a flat.

Tell your friend to jack on the axle and not the pinch seam. A stock Sahara can absolutely be lifted by the scissor jack.

Iirc, there's an outlet in the back that's always hot, though I think that can be reconfigured as well.

Kinda makes sense to me. If I needed to use the front, it'd likely be for a phone charger or maybe a camera or GPS unit that I wouldn't want draining the battery if left plugged in, while the back one would be more useful with the engine off if you were using it while camping or tailgating (or maybe wired to an interior light with it's own on/off switch).

The rear one can be configured either switched or always on if you change a fuse position. This is also in the manual.

OEM rear locker:
if you see the locker icon flashing while driving, there's a new malfunction were the sensor gets wet with gear oil and the metal powder causes it to malfunction causing a false reading. Z Automotive sell a cable that override the malfunction telling the sensor that there's no fluid at all.
Otherwise, dealerships offer axle swap ( don't know to much the details of this one).

OEM Sway bar disconnect function:
While off-roading, if you have your sway bar disconnected. Turn off the Jeep and the turn it on again... the sway bar will be reconnected. Please make sure to the disconnect it again before keep going.

Tazer mute button:
If you click the mute button twice, the rear view camera will turn on.

My favorite Tazer function:
There's a function on the menu, that when you are driving and use the side turn signal... the rear camera will turn on and stay till signal turn off.

Here's the online manual of the Tazer (different functions available)

I keep forgetting about that one.

 

[dragoneggs]

I keep forgetting about that one.

I use that one a lot.

 

[J.Ferreira]

I keep forgetting about that one.

I'm guessing it's a live function as long as the Tazer is plugged in?
Or is that one just a Jeep feature?
