What does the part time light mean on a Jeep?
What does part time mean in a car? “Part time” would mean it comes on automatically when wheel spin is detected, and shuts off when not needed. Therefore it’s okay to drive like that year round. The part time light goes off and on when you need it, it automatically goes into four wheels grabbing independent.
