2016 JEEP COMPASS seats

Reclining Rear Seat
For additional comfort, pull the strap forward just enough to release the seatback
latch. Then push the seatback to a reclined position, approximately 35 degrees
maximum, and release the strap.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be
seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
HEATED SEATS
Heated Seats
On some models, the front driver and passenger seats may be equipped with heaters
in both the seat cushions and seatbacks. The controls for the front heated seats are
located on the center instrument panel area.
You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one
for LO and none for OFF.
Push the switch once to select HI-level
heating. Push the switch a second time to
select LO-level heating. Push the switch
a third time to shut the heating elements
OFF.
When the HI-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level
during the initial stages of operation.
Then, the heat output will drop to the
normal HI-level. If the HI-level setting is
selected, the system will automatically
switch to LO-level after approximately 30
minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the display will change from HI to
LO, indicating the change. When the LO-
level heating is selected, the system au-
tomatically turns the heater and the indicator light OFF after approximately 30
minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
This vehicle has two full time, on-demand, four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems avail-
able, Freedom Drive I and Freedom-Drive II. They provide for all-weather, all-terrain
capability for added driving security in less-than-ideal road conditions.
Freedom-Drive I Four Wheel Drive System
• The vehicle will constantly monitor wheel slippage and transfer power to the axlethat can use it the most.
• For additional traction in sand, deep snow or loose traction surfaces, the “4WD Lock” sends equal amounts of the torque to the front and rear axles at low speeds.
• To activate, pull the T-handle, located in between the front driver and passenger seats, up once and release. The “4WD Indicator Light” will come on in the cluster.
Freedom-Drive I Components
1 — Rear Differential
2 — Electronically Controlled Coupling
3 — Driveshaft
4 — Power Transfer Unit

FUSES
WARNING!
• When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appropriate replacement fuse withthe same amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another
fuse of higher amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or any
other material. Failure to use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury,
fire and/or property damage.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disengaged.
• If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
• If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, gearbox system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
Integrated Power Module (IPM)
The Integrated Power Module is located in the engine compartment near the air
cleaner assembly. This center contains cartridge fuses and mini-fuses. A label that
identifies each component may be printed on the inside of the cover. Refer to
“Engine Compartment” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
