Jeep® has been hiding secrets in plain sight since 1997, from the Jeep hidden gecko tucked beneath the windshield wiper to Morse code etched into the dead pedal, and most owners never find them all. At Brunswick Auto Mart, we love pointing them out to first-time Jeep drivers and longtime fans alike. Here are five of our favorites.
The Jeep® Hidden Gecko
Designer Michael Santoro hid a miniature seven-slot grille on the 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ hood cowl, and the Jeep easter egg tradition was born. The Jeep hidden gecko came next—a three-dimensional figure beneath the windshield wiper on the Jeep Compass, symbolizing the grip Jeep vehicles have on any terrain.
The Spider That Says "Ciao Baby"
On the Jeep Renegade, lift the fuel cap and you'll find a spider with a speech bubble reading "Ciao Baby". This is a nod to the Italian design roots of the model.
The Loch Ness Monster
Look closely at the base of the rear windshield on a Jeep Compass and the Loch Ness Monster is swimming quietly along the glass. It’s a perfect symbol for a vehicle built to explore the unknown.
Morse Code on the Dead Pedal
On the dead pedal of certain Jeep models, you may also find morse code engraved. It translates to "Sand, Snow, Rivers, Rocks,” echoing Jeep’s adventurous spirit.
The Duck Tradition
In 2020, Ontario driver Allison Parliament placed a rubber duck on a fellow Jeep to spread kindness after a rough day. The gesture caught on worldwide. Today Jeep drivers leave rubber ducks on each other's door handles as a sign of the community these vehicles build naturally.
