"Compass"
By selecting the item "Compass," you can view and change the following settings:
• Calibration

Calibration
The compass calibrates itself automatically, so you may not need any initial
calibration. It is required to confirm the calibration by pushing the OK button and
drive in one or more 360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic
objects). The compass will now function normally.
Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic North and Geographic North. Tocompensate for the differences, the variance should be set for the zone where thevehicle is driven, per the zone map. Once properly set, the compass will automaticallycompensate for the differences and provide the most accurate compass heading.
NOTE:
Keep magnetic materials away from the top of the instrument panel, such as iPod's,
Mobile Phones, Laptops, and Radar Detectors. This is where the compass module is
located, and it can cause interference with the compass sensor, and it may give false
readings.

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power
inverter outlet located on the back of the
center console. This outlet can power
cellular phones, electronics and other
low power devices requiring power up to
150 Watts.
• To turn on the power outlet, simply
plug in the device. The outlet auto-
matically turns off when the device is
unplugged.
Power Inverter
ELECTRONICS

NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power rating
of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the
electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically
reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may
have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug
it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
POWER OUTLET
There are two 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets in this vehicle, one located under the
HVAC controls and one located in the drivers side rear cargo area. These power outlet
can power mobile phones, electronics and other low power devices.
• This power outlet is located in front of the shift lever.

• This power outlet is located in the drivers side rear cargo area.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need
to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE — JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE (4WD)
AND JEEP ACTIVE DRIVE LOW (4WD LOW)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Power Transfer Unit (PTU). This system is
automatic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills required. Under normal
driving conditions, the front wheels provide most of the traction. If the front wheels
begin to lose traction, power is shifted automatically to the rear wheels. The greater
the front wheel traction loss, the greater the power transfer to the rear wheels.
Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy throttle input (where one may have no
wheel spin), torque will be sent to the rear in a preemptive effort to improve vehicle
launch and performance characteristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and type tires. Unequal tire sizes must not beused. Unequal tire size may cause failure of the power transfer unit.
Four Wheel Drive (4X4)
The four wheel drive (4WD) is fully automatic in normal driving mode.
NOTE:
It is not possible to carry out the change of mode when the car exceeds the speed of
75 mph (120 km/h).
Enabling Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The buttons for the activation of four wheel drive are located on the device
Selec-Terrain™ and allow you to select the following:
• 4WD LOCK
• 4WD LOW — (Trailhawk models only)
Active Drive Control — If Equipped
The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is locked
to ensure immediate availability of
torque to the rear drive axles. This feature
is selectable in AUTO mode and auto-
matic in the other driving mode. 4WD
LOCK can be enabled by the following
ways:
• When the 4WD LOCK button is
pressed.
• When the Selec-Terrain™ switch is
rotated from AUTO to any other off-
road modes.
