- Electronic Throttle Control

Wrangler Unlimited's Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system helps prevent the herky-jerky "pedal bobble" that often occurs when in 4WD-low (4LO) mode. ETC's special off-road calibrations help the driver to "feather in" the throttle over uneven terrain, logs and rocks. The difference is night and day and is akin to walking vs. bouncing along tough off-road events.
- Two-Speed Electric Fan

The on-demand, two-speed electric fan features a thermally activated circuit breaker for added reliability during off-road driving.
