2019 JEEP COMPASS key fob battery

To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key
fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or
passenger front door handles, push the pas-
sive entry lock button located on the outside
door handle, to lock the vehicle doors and
liftgate.
NOTE:
DO NOT grab the door handle, when pushing
the door handle lock button. This could un-
lock the door(s).
NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle button, you
must wait two seconds before you can lock
or unlock the doors, using either Passive
Entry door handle. This is done to allow you
to check if the vehicle is locked by pulling
the door handle without the vehicle react-
ing and unlocking.• If Passive Entry is disabled using the
Uconnect System, the key protection de-
scribed in "Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of Passive Entry key fob in Vehicle" remains
active/functional.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if
the key fob battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using
the lock button located on the vehicle’s inte-
rior door panel.
Child-Protection Door Lock System —
Rear Doors
To provide a safer environment for small chil-
dren riding in the rear seats, the rear doors
are equipped with a Child-Protection Door
Lock system.
To use the system, open each rear door, use a
flat blade screwdriver (or emergency key) and
rotate the dial to the lock or unlock position.
When the system on a door is engaged, that
door can only be opened by using the outside
door handle even if the inside door lock is in
the unlocked position.

NOTE:
• Rock mode is only available on the vehicles
equipped with the Off-Road package.
• Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control. See “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further
information.
STOP/START SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to re-
duce fuel consumption. The system will stop
the engine automatically during a vehicle
stop if the required conditions are met. Re-
leasing the brake pedal, clutch pedal or
pressing the accelerator pedal will automati-
cally re-start the engine.
WARNING!
Before opening the hood, make sure that
the engine is off and that the ignition is in
the OFF mode. Follow the indications on
the plate underneath the hood. We recom-
mend that you remove the key fob if other
people remain in the vehicle. The vehicle
should only be exited after the key fob has
been removed and the ignition is on the
OFF mode. During refueling, make sure
that the engine is off (ignition device in the
OFF mode).
CAUTION!
When replacing the battery, always contact
your authorized dealer. Replace the bat-
tery with the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and
with the same specifications.
Operating Modes
Engine Stopping Mode
Models equipped with a manual transmission:
With the vehicle stopped, the engine stops
with transmission in neutral and clutch pedal
released.
Models equipped with an automatic transmission:
With vehicle at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the gear
selector is in a position other than REVERSE.
In the event of stops uphill, the engine
switching will be disabled to activate the "Hill
Start Assist" function (works only with the
engine running).
The warning light on the instrument panel
switches on to signal that the engine was
stopped.
Engine Restarting Mode
Models equipped with manual transmission:
To restart the engine, press the clutch pedal.

If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to
“Gear Selector Override” in this section for

mission out of PARK so that the vehicle can

CAUTION!
• Do not use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to
your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
• Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while
being towed.
• Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on
tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper
face bar will be damaged.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF
mode. The only approved method of towing
without the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to pre-
vent damage to the vehicle.
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models —
With Key Fob

vehicle with all four wheelsOFFthe ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this
vehicle must be towed with the front wheels
OFFthe ground (using a towing dolly, or wheel
lift equipment with the front wheels raised).
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is re-
leased, and remains released, while being
towed. The Electric Park Brake does not need
to be released if all four wheels are off the
ground.
CAUTION!

above requirements can cause severe en-
gine and/or transmission damage. Damage

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
