MUD HAPPENS. So does snow,
rain, and ice. Compass takes on
all challenges like a true Jeep®
4WD champion, earning capability
kudos for helping you arrive in style
and on time.
On-road style meets proven off-road capability. Compass moves you up and over to authentic Jeep®
brand freedom with Freedom Drive I Off-Road Group. It helps you confidently rule the road, rocks, mud,
and almost every other driving condition in-between. This active full-time 4WD system with LOCK Mode
works to get you through severe conditions like deeper snow and sand.
CVT2. CVT2 with AutoStick
uses a 30 mm high-strength
multilayer steel drive belt and two
active V-pulleys to vary vehicle
speed. The result: a smooth, quiet
ride that’s very economical too.
SOLID CONTACT. Four-wheel inde-
pendent touring-tuned suspension
helps to improve on-road handling
and cornering and helps to provide
a smooth ride.
MEET THE OPTIMIZER. The available
AutoStick shifter puts optimal vehicle
performance under your control.

AIR OF CONFIDENCE. The standard air bag(1) system includes supplemental side-curtain air
bags (1) for outboard occupants plus advanced multistage driver and front-passenger air bags(1).
Front seat active head restraints(3) move forward and upward in the event of a rear-end collision
to decrease the space between the head restraint and occupant’s head, thereby helping to
reduce the chance of injury.
Compass has your back, your sides, and your front end.
Head out with confidence, knowing a robust set of safety and security systems are in place to give
you peace of mind, on the road and on the trail. You’re protected by a safety cage structure that
contains a front crumple zone, specifically designed to absorb energy during a frontal impact. The
standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC)(2) integrates a four-wheel Antilock Brake System
(ABS), all-speed traction control, and a Brake Assist system that automatically helps provide
braking to appropriate wheels and reduces engine power when the system detects overly sharp
steering and/or impending wheel lift.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS. Embedded sensors continuously
monitor the pressure in the tires and will immediately notify the driver when levels
drop below the minimum acceptable level.
FREEDOM DRIVE I 4WD. Rain and sand dunes are no match for Freedom Drive I
on Compass. It automatically provides optimal traction to all wheels, adjusting
torque on demand while boosting fuel economy.
HILL START ASSIST (HSA). HSA helps stop that annoying roll-back when you
tackle uphill climbs.
SENTRY KEY ®. A unique embedded key code matched only to your vehicle
helps keep your Compass safely where it belongs.
HEATED POWER EXTERIOR MIRRORS. Melt ice off your sideview mirrors as
you warm up your interior. Helps keep your mirrors icicle-free as you drive, as
well.

driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions
