2017 COMPASS QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Electric Park Brake (EPB)

Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric

Park Brake System (EPB) that offers greater

convenience. The park brake switch is located

in the center console.

To apply the park brake manually, pull up on the

switch momentarily. The BRAKE warning lamp

in the instrument cluster and an indicator on

the switch will illuminate.

To release the park brake manually, the ignition

switch must be in RUN. Then put your foot on

the brake pedal and push the park brake switch

down momentarily. Once the park brake is fully

disengaged, the BRAKE warning lamp and the

switch indicator will extinguish.

The park brake can also be automatically re-

leased. With the engine running and the trans-

mission in gear, release the brake pedal and

depress the throttle pedal. For safety reasons,

your seat belt must also be fastened.

NOTE:

• You may hear a slight whirring sound from

the back of the vehicle while the parking

brake engages or disengages.

• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you

are engaging or disengaging the parking

brake, you may notice a small amount of

brake pedal movement.

• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be

used to apply the park brake automatically

every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park

Brake can be enabled and disabled in the

Settings menu in Uconnect.

• The parking brake can be engaged even

when the ignition switch is OFF, however, it

can only be disengaged when the ignition

switch is in the ON/RUN position.

•

SafeHold a new feature that will automatically

apply the park brake under certain conditions.

The EPB monitors the status of the driver’s

seat belt, driver’s door and pedal positions to

determine if the driver may have exited while

the vehicle is still capable of moving and will

then automatically apply the park brake to

prevent the vehicle from rolling.

• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the

EPB switch is held for longer than 20 sec-

onds in either the released or applied posi-

tion. The light will extinguish upon releasing

the switch.

Parking Brake Switch

STARTING AND OPERATING

Auto Park Brake

The EPB can be programmed to be applied

automatically whenever the vehicle speed is

below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) and the automatic

transmission is placed in PARK, or with a

manual transmission, whenever the ignition

switch is in the OFF position. Auto Park Brake is

enabled and disabled by customer selection

through the Customer Programmable Features

section of the Uconnect Settings.

Any single Auto Park Brake application can be

bypassed by pushing the EPB switch to the

release position while the transmission is

placed in PARK (automatic transmission) and

the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.

For further information and applicable warn-

ings and cautions, please refer to your Owner’s

Manual at www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals.

SELEC-TERRAIN

Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the

vehicle control systems, along with driver input,

to provide the best performance for all terrains.

Mode Selection Guide

Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the

desired mode.

•AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation is a

continuous operation, is fully automatic and

can be used on and off road. This mode

balances traction to ensure maneuverability

and acceleration improvement compared to

a vehicle with two wheel drive. This mode

also reduces fuel consumption, since it al-

lows the disconnect of the drive shaft where

conditions permit.

Selec-Terrain Switch

Selec-Terrain Switch (Trailhawk)

•SNOW: This mode allows you to have greater

stability under conditions of bad weather.

For use on and off road on surfaces with poor

traction, such as roads covered with snow.

When in SNOW mode (depending on certain

operating conditions), the transmission may

use second gear (rather than first gear) dur-

ing launches, to minimize wheel slippage.

•SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces

with poor traction, such as dry sand. The

transmission is set to provide maximum trac-

tion.

•MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces

with poor traction, such as roads covered by

mud or wet grass.

•ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is only

available in 4WD LOW range. The device

sets the vehicle to maximize traction and

allow the highest steering capacity for off-

road surfaces. This mode gives you the maxi-

mum performance off-road. Use for low

speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep

ruts, etc.

NOTE:

• Rock mode is only available on the vehicles

equipped with the Off-Road package.

• Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep

downhill control. See “Electronic Brake

Control System” in this section for further

information.

For further information and applicable warn-

ings and cautions, please refer to your Owner’s

Manual at www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals.

ParkSense Rear Park Assist — If

Equipped

• The four ParkSense sensors, located in the

rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind

the vehicle that is within the sensor’s field of

view.

• The sensors can detect obstacles from ap-

proximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to

79 inches (200 cm) from the rear bumper

while the vehicle is in REVERSE. When an

obstacle is detected, a warning will display

in the instrument cluster, and a chime will

sound (when Sound and Display is selected

from the Uconnect Settings/Customer Pro-

grammable Features section of the

Uconnect System screen). As the vehicle

moves closer to the object, the chime rate

will change from single 1/2 second tone, to

slow, to fast, to continuous.

• If the system detects a potential impact

with an object, the vehicle brakes may be

applied.

For further information and applicable warn-

ings and cautions, please refer to your Owner’s

Manual at www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals.

ParkSense Switch

PARKSENSE

Parkview Rear Back-Up Camera

— If Equipped

You can see an on-screen image of the rear of

your vehicle whenever the transmission is

shifted into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear

Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on the

Uconnect Display, located on the center stack

of the instrument panel.

For further information and applicable warn-

ings and cautions, please refer to your Owner’s

Manual at www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals.

Blind Spot Monitoring — If

Equipped

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses

two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear

bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable

vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,

etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the

rear/front/side of the vehicle.

The BSM warning light, located in the outside

mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a

blind spot zone.

Rear Cross Path

The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended

to aid the driver when backing out of parking

spaces where their vision of oncoming vehicles

may be blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously

out of the parking space until the rear end of the

vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will then

have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an

oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.

Mode Of Operation

Three selectable modes of operation are

available through the Uconnect System.

For further information and applicable warn-

ings and cautions, please refer to your Owner’s

Manual at www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals.

BSM Warning Light

PARKVIEW SAFETY FEATURES

Forward Collision Warning With

Mitigation — If Equipped

The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system

provides the driver with active braking, audible

and visual warnings [within the instrument

cluster display] and may apply a brake jerk to

warn the driver when it detects a potential

frontal collision. The warnings and limited

braking are intended to provide the driver with

enough time to react and avoid or mitigate the

potential collision.

FCW monitors the information from the

forward-looking sensor, as well as the Elec-

tronic Brake Controller (EBC) to calculate a

probable collision. When the system deter-

mines that a collision is probable, a warning

message (both audible and visual) will be dis-

played within the cluster display along with a

brake jerk warning (previously enabled in the

Uconnect Settings). When the system senses

the driver applying the brakes to avoid a prob-

able collision, additional brake force will be

provided to the vehicle. When the system deter-

mines a collision with the vehicle in front of you

is no longer probable, the warning message will

be deactivated.

NOTE:

The FCW feature can be customized and turned

off through the Uconnect System touchscreen.

For further information and applicable warn-

ings and cautions, please refer to your Owner’s

Manual at www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals.

Opening

To unlock the liftgate, use the key fob or acti-

vate the power door lock switches located on
