What is this switch?

[Chaimstein]

Yes, the SSC can make some alarming noises, but that means it is working. Don't let that put you off. I spent many hours last week wheeling and I specifically wanted to practice with SSC. It is brilliant, once I figued out how to use it.

For example, I was stuck on a slick, muddy hill and sliding backwards when I engaged both lockers, and turned on SSC to .6 MPH. After a couple of slow rotations of the drive train, it gradually just pulled me up the hill. No spinning or sliding just slow steady progress.

I use it now anytime I am wheeling at 5 mph or lower. Just ignore the noises and use it.

Latest full owners manual has 596 pages. Here is info on SSC (searched selec - speed control in the manual) ...

Can't find the switch to the right of the AC control listed in the owner manual. What function?

I have been through the PDF/online owners manual - i believe this is the latest version but I can't verify it:
https://msmownerassets.z13.web.core...us/Jeep/2020/Gladiator/20_JT_OM_EN_USC_V2.pdf

And nowhere in the manual do I see that button shown.

Furthermore, in regard to SSC, it says "push the switch" to engage it (but again, I cannot find anywhere in the manual showing the button's location).

For reference: Here are the screen caps of the SSC relevant pages...

hill descent or low speed crawl?

First time I saw it I thought it was a duck. I tried it off road and couldn't get the hang of it

FCA really needs to do a better job on the Owners Manual. Whomever approved this didn’t really read it before signing off on it.
