Somebody email Chrysler darn it! I want my light to come on!!!!!!!! Lol

 

Does it actually say "Off-Road"? There's an idiot light for the ESP showing a skidding car. We also have a curly-wurly glow-plug heater and water-in-fuel warning lights on the diesels' dash.

 

It only lights up if you have Nav active on MyGig while off-road (not traveling on a road/highway within the navigation software database). Just in case you aren't aware that you are indeed "off-road".

 

are you certain about that????? I have been off road with my map up on the Mygig and didn't notice a light on the dash that said "OFF ROAD" Just wondering if you are blowing smoke

 

Pullin your leg.... I remember reading another thread that concluded (for reasons I don't remember) that the "off-road" indicator light is not used in the JK.

 

i checked a little while ago and it doesn't work in 4LO so idk anything else?

 

WTF? that would really be cool to have it light up when in 4lo. i've seen it on mine and it doesn't even mention it in the manual. so i don't think its used

 

lol when i saw that.


Not sure, but I'm guessing Chrysler maybe shares the gauge panel with another vehicle that uses that light??? That would be why we can't find anything else about it on the JK!!!

 

Let's see, what vehicle would be owned by a driver so dumb that he needed to be notified that he'd strayed off-road? Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm. That's it, Hummer! Oh wait, there's no way that they're sharing parts with Hummer.

 

Perhaps the instrument panel is shared with the Patriot. I downloaded a 2009 Patriot owners manual and it shows a picture of a light that says "Off Road" and offers this description:

25. OFF ROAD Indicator — If Equipped
The symbol illuminates (is armed) when the 4WD lock
switch is activated and the transmission range indicator
is in LOW or REVERSE position.
