2015 JEEP COMPASS steering wheel

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC)
The EVIC features a driver interactive display that is located in the instrument
cluster. Pushing the controls on the steering wheel allows the driver to select vehicle
information and Personal Settings. For additional information, refer to Program-
mable Features in this guide.
• Push and release theMENUbutton to
scroll through the main menus (Fuel
Economy, Warnings, Timer, Units, Sys-
tem, Personal Settings) or to exit sub-
menus
• Push the DOWN Arrowbutton to
scroll downward through the sub-
menus
• Push and release the COMPASS
button to display one of eight compass
readings and the outside temperature
or to exit sub-menus.
• Push the RIGHT Arrowbutton for
access to main menus, sub-menus or
to select a personal setting in the setup
menu.
Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed
in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a
rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and
DRIVE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion,
without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE:
To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it
may be desirable to switch the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to “Partial Off”
mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Offswitch. For further information on
ESC, refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD.
CAUTION!
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between REVERSE and DRIVE, do
not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may
result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds
may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not
spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do
not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
