2016 JEEP COMPASS change time

Canadian/Gate Operator Programming
For programming transmitters in Canada/United States
that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after
several seconds of transmission.
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of trans-
mission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink
to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
time-out in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to
8 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to
program while keeping the HomeLink indicator light
in view.
3. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink button, while you push and release (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink has
successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indi-
cator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take
up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage
door may open and close while you are programming.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

Refer to ”Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) —
If Equipped” in this section for further information. LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition exists, the odometer
display will toggle between LoW and tirE for three
cycles.
gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel
filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a
“gASCAP” message will display in the odometer display
area. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and push the
STEP button on the steering wheel to turn off the
message. If the problem continues, the message will
appear the next time the vehicle is started.

noFUSE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the
Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is improperly installed, or
damaged, a “noFUSE” message will display in the odom-
eter display area. Refer to “Fuses” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for further information on fuses and fuse loca-
tions.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The odometer display will toggle be-
tweenCHAngE andOilfor approximately 12 seconds,
after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle-based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance), perform the
following steps.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do
not start the engine).
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the engine, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat these steps.
5. Fuel Gauge
•The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank
when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position
The fuel pump symbol points

Equipped
Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will display in the EVIC display for approximately five
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty-cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and
release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument
cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the
following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Do not
start the engine.
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

To Reset The Display
Pushing and holding the RIGHT arrow button once will
clear the function currently being displayed. Reset will
only occur if a resettable function is currently being
displayed. To reset all resettable functions, push and
release the RIGHT arrow button a second time within
three seconds of resetting the currently displayed func-
tion. Reset ALL will be displayed during this three-
second window.
Compass/Temperature/Audio
Push and release the COMPASS button to display one of
eight compass headings to indicate the direction the
vehicle is facing, the outside temperature, and the current
radio station.
Refer to “Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable
Features)” in this section for additional information re-
garding the compass.

Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset
(pushing and holding the RIGHT arrow button as
prompted in the EVIC display to reset). When the fuel
economy is reset, the display will read “RESET” or show
dashes for two seconds. Then, the history information
will be erased, and the averaging will continue from the
last fuel reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. This is not resettable.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value. When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
to a text display of
LOW FUEL.This display will
continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
LOW FUEL text and a new DTE value will be dis-
played, based on the current values in the DTE calcula-
tion and the current fuel tank level.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
Refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
“Starting And Operating” for system operation.
Elapsed Time
Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset.
Elapsed time will increment when the ignition switch is
in the RUN/START position.
254 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Elapsed time is displayed as follows:
hours: minutes: seconds
Elapsed time can be reset by pushing and holding the
RIGHT arrow button (as prompted in the EVIC display).
Upon reset, all digits will change to zeros, and time will
start incrementing again if the ignition switch is in RUN
or START.
Display Units Of Measure In
To make your selection, push and release the RIGHT
arrow button until “US” or “METRIC” appears.
Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable
Features)
This allows the driver to set and recall features when the
transmission is in PARK (automatic transmission) or the
vehicle is stopped (manual transmission).Push and release the MENU or DOWN buttons until
“Personal Settings” is displayed in the EVIC then push
and release the RIGHT button.
Use the RIGHT button to display one of the following
choices:
Language
When in this display, you may select different languages
for all display nomenclature, including the trip functions.
Pushing the RIGHT button while in this display selects
English, Espanol, Deutsch, Italiano, Francais, or NL de-
pending on availability. As you continue, the displayed
information will be shown in the selected language.
