2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Lights and Wipers | How They Work

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s Lights and Wipers system has new features that show how it combines high-tech features with tough usefulness. The vehicle’s lighting system uses modern LED lights to light up the road ahead, making it easier to see and safer. The Wrangler 4xe’s adaptive lighting technology changes the headlights’ intensity and direction based on the road conditions. This makes sure that the car is well-lit without glaring nearby traffic.

Along these lines, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s wiper system is designed to work best in a range of weather situations. With their high-tech sensors, the wipers can change their speed and spacing based on how much rain or snow is falling. This smart feature not only makes it easier for the driver to see, but it also makes the car safer overall.
Also, the Wrangler 4xe is eco-friendly because it has lighting technologies that use less energy and intelligent wiper settings that make driving more environmentally friendly. If you’re driving on city streets or in tough off-road conditions, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s Lights and Wipers system shows how cutting-edge technology and off-road prowess can work together successfully.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS

HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel. This switch controls the operation of the headlights, parking lights, automatic headlights (if equipped), instrument panel lights, interior lights, and fog lights (if equipped).

Headlight Switch

1. Headlight Control
2. Fog Light Switch
3. Dimmer Control

Headlight Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada)

1. Headlight Control
2. Fog Light Switch
3. Dimmer Control

NOTE:
Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight switch with an AUTO and ON detent but without an OFF detent. Headlights will be deactivated when the headlight switch is placed in the parking lights position. However, the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will be activated along with the front and rear marker lights. The DRLs may be deactivated when the parking brake is engaged.
Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first detent for parking light and instrument panel light operation. Rotate the headlight switch to the second detent for headlight, parking light, and instrument panel light operation.

NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight switch clockwise from the parking lights and instrument panel lights position to the first detent to turn on headlights, parking lights, and instrument panel lights. Rotate the headlight switch to the second detent for the AUTO position.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) — IF EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights are active when the low beams are not on, and the engine is running. DRLs may be deactivated by applying the parking brake.

NOTE:

• For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime Running Lights will automatically deactivate when the front fog lights are turned on.
• On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may deactivate, or reduce intensity, on one side of the vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on that side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when the hazard warning lights are activated).

HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to switch the headlights to high beams. The lever will return to the centered position. To return the headlights to low beam, pull the lever toward the steering wheel, or push the lever toward the instrument panel.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system provides increased forward lighting at night by automatically controlling the high beams through the use of a camera mounted on the vehicle’s header. This camera detects vehicle-specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.

NOTE:

• The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be turned on or off by selecting “ON” under “Auto High Beam” within your Uconnect Settings Ú page 184, as well as turning the headlight switch to the AUTO position and placing the multifunction lever in the high beam position.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the system to function improperly.

FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you. This will cause the high-beam headlights to turn on, and remain on until the lever is released.

AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off according to ambient light levels. To turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the last detent for automatic headlight operation. When the system is on, the headlight time delay feature is also on. This means the headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you place the ignition into the OFF position. To turn the automatic system off, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO position.

NOTE:
The engine must be running before the headlights will come on in the automatic mode.

LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights are left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF position, a chime will sound when the driver’s door is opened.

FRONT FOG LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
To activate the Front Fog Lights, turn on the parking lights or low-beam headlights and push the fog light switch. Pushing the fog light switch a second time will turn the front fog lights off.

TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down to activate the turn signals. The arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show proper operation.

NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light bulb.

LANE CHANGE ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
Lightly push the multifunction lever up or down, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal will flash three times then automatically turn off.

INTERIOR LIGHTS

INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
The courtesy lights will turn on when the front doors are opened, by rotating the dimmer controls on the headlight switch fully upward, or, if equipped, when the unlock button is pushed on the key fob. The interior courtesy lights are located in the center of the vehicle’s sports bar and consist of one large center light and four smaller reading lights. Each reading light can be turned on by pushing the lens. Pushing the lens a second time will turn the light off.
When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating the dimmer control to the extreme bottom position will cause all the interior lights to turn off. This allows the doors to stay open for extended periods without discharging the vehicle’s battery.

DIMMER CONTROL
The dimmer control is part of the headlight switch and is located on the left side of the instrument panel.

With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating the dimmer control upward will increase the brightness of the instrument panel lights. Rotating the dimmer control will also adjust the interior and ambient light levels (e.g. courtesy lights in the footwell, illuminated cupholders, and front door handles).

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS

The windshield wiper/washer control lever is located on the right side of the steering column. The front wipers are operated by rotating a switch, located at the end of the lever.

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION

Windshield Wiper/Washer Operation

1. Pull For Front Washer
2. Rotate For Rear Wiper Operation
3. Rotate For Front Wiper Operation
4. Push Forward For Rear Washer
5. Push Up For Mist

Rotate the end of the lever upward to the first detent past the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second detent past the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper operation.

CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.

Intermittent Wipers
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause between cycles, desirable. Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent position for one of four intermittent settings. The delay cycle can be set anywhere between 1 to 18 seconds.

NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.

Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will start and continue to operate for two or three wipe cycles after the lever is released. Then, the intermittent interval previously selected will resume. If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers will operate for two or three wipe cycles. Then, the wipers will turn off.

NOTE:
As a protective measure, the washer will stop if the switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the switch is released the washer will resume normal operation.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before and during windshield washer use.

Mist
Push upward on the wiper lever to activate a single wipe to clear off-road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is held up, the wipers will continue to operate.

NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the windshield. The washer function must be used to spray the windshield with washer fluid.

REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER — IF EQUIPPED
A rotary switch on the center portion of the windshield wiper/washer lever controls the operation of the rear wiper/washer function.
Rotate the switch upward to the first detent position for intermittent operation and to the second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.

Push the wiper lever toward the instrument panel to activate the rear washer. The washer pump and wiper will continue to operate as long as the lever is held.

 

NOTE:
As a protective measure, the washer will stop if the switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the switch is released the washer will resume normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is placed in the OFF position, the wiper will automatically return to the parked position. When the vehicle is restarted, the wiper will resume function at whichever position the switch is set at.
