I wanna send a gentle note of displeasure to the engineer that forgot to design a place for the owner's manual. Lousy fit in the glovebox. Where inside are we keeping them now?

Take it out of the Jeep. The manual is built into the U connect and it’s available online for free. You can download it as a pdf and save it to your phone, as well.

Trash can? As stated above it's available digitally, not to mention a Google search of anything you were trying to look up in the manual will not only be far quicker, it will likely return better and more thorough information.

Mine fits like a glove - in the glove box.
Oddly enough I do not now, nor have I ever put gloves in the glove box.

My wife's 2019 Cherokee has the manual in the Uconnect so I assumed the same thing with my 2021 Wrangler.

Nope, couldn't find it anywhere. If it's there, it very stealth.

It’s probably only in the 8.4 screen. It’s called the “Vehicle User Guide”. I can’t remember if it’s in the smaller screens or not.

@DogsRule

I keep the Owner's Manual in pdf form on my smartphone. PDF manual has search feature, etc..

I also keep the maintenance record for my JL on my smartphone.

One size does not fit all. A lot of people are not tech Savvy and don’t want to be. I put mine in my maintenance bag in the rear. Not a problem.

@chevymitchell

Big problem ..... No 12v power and or other electrical gremlins, etc. knock out access to that Vehicle User Guide that is accessible on the 8.4 radio.

Best to keep a paper manual in the vehicle or a copy of the manual in pdf form on your smartphone.

Keeping a copy of your smartphone is not rocket science. Even this 73 yo old guy has accomplished this. Sure, if I was that old guy still using a clam shell phone, no way, would I be able to have the manual in pdf form on the phone.

When you have a small battery failure or blow up your buss bar your dash display won't work. Really nice to have a paper manual to find the transmission release so you can get a tow. Fits in the glove box, free from Jeep if you ask.
