The method to set the automatic locking for the Wrangler is as follows: 1. Close all doors; 2. Turn the key to the 'lock' position; 3. Wait for the dashboard self-check indicator lights to turn off, then turn the key four times and return it to the 'lock' position. Taking the 2021 two-door Wrangler as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4334mm, width 1894mm, height 1839mm, wheelbase 2459mm, fuel tank capacity 70 liters, and curb weight 1843kg. The 2021 two-door Wrangler features a multi-link solid axle front suspension and a multi-link solid axle rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 266PS, maximum power of 195.4kW, and maximum torque of 400Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Wrangler for several years, and setting up the auto-lock is actually quite simple—it's all done on the Uconnect screen in the car. First, start the engine but don't shift gears. Press the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel, scroll to the 'Settings' or 'Vehicle' option, and click into it to find 'Door Locks.' There, you'll see an 'Auto-Lock' feature—turn it on and then select the speed at which the doors lock, like 20km/h or 30km/h. I recommend setting it to 20km/h so the doors lock as soon as you start driving, which is especially safe in the city to prevent bad actors from pulling the doors open. For older Wrangler models without a screen, you might need to use button combinations, like pressing the unlock button repeatedly. After setting it up, remember to test it to make sure it works. Also, check the battery regularly, as the function may fail if the battery is low. This feature is super useful—it prevents theft and gives peace of mind, much more convenient than manual locking.
