2019 JEEP COMPASS instrument cluster

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and a chime will
sound when tire pressure is low in one or
more of the four active road tires. In addition,
the instrument cluster will display a "Tire
Low" message and a graphic showing the
pressure values of each tire with the low tire
pressure values highlighted or in a different
color.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres-
sure (those highlighted or in a different color
in the instrument cluster display graphic) to
the vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressures, the system will auto-
matically update, the pressure values in the
graphic display in the instrument cluster will
stop being highlighted or return to their origi-
nal color, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light will turn off.NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi
(28 kPa) above the recommended cold plac-
ard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light off. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message for a minimum of five seconds
and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will no longer flash, and the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message will no longer dis-play, and a pressure value will display in
place of the dashes. A system fault can occur
due to any of the following:
• Jamming due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
• Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching
full size does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the com-
pact or non-matching full size spare tire.
2. If you install the compact or non-
matching full size spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, the Tire Pressure Moni-
SAFETY
96

toring System Warning Light will remain
on and a chime will sound. In addition,
the graphic in the instrument cluster will
still display a different color or high-
lighted pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 min-
utes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid. In addition, the
instrument cluster will display a “SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM” message for five sec-
onds and then display dashes (- -) in place
of the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound, the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System Warning Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid, and the instrument cluster will dis-
play a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
for five seconds and then display dashes (-
-) in place of the pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the original
road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare, the TPMS will
update automatically. In addition, the TirePressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will turn off and the graphic in the
instrument cluster will display a new pres-
sure value instead of dashes (- -), as long
as no tire pressure is below the low-
pressure warning limit in any of the four
active road tires. The vehicle may need to
be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS
to receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS Sensors, such as when installing
winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires not equipped with Tire Pressure Moni-
toring (TPM) Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle
for 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System Warning Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on. Theinstrument cluster will display the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the
TPMS will no longer chime or display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will remain
in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive
the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then turn off. The instrument cluster will
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” mes-
sage and then display pressure values in
place of the dashes. On the next ignition
cycle the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message
will no longer be displayed as long as no
system fault exists.

Because air bag sensors measure vehicle
deceleration over time, vehicle speed and
damage by themselves are not good indica-
tors of whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in
all collisions, and also are needed to help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision requiring
the front air bags, it signals the inflator units.
A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated
to inflate the front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the
upper passenger side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the air
bags inflate to their full size. The front air
bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. The front air bags then
quickly deflate while helping to restrain the
driver and front passenger.Passenger Air Bag Disable Feature —
If Equipped
This system allows the driver to DISABLE
(OFF) the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
if a child restraintmustbe installed in the
front seat. Only DISABLE (OFF) the Passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag if it is absolutely
necessary to install a child restraint in the
front seat. Children 12 years or younger
should ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat, if available. According to crash statis-
tics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seats rather than in the
front. (Refer to “Child Restraints” in this
section for further information.)
WARNING!
• A DISABLED (OFF) Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is deactivated and will not
deploy in a collision.
• A DISABLED (OFF) Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag will not provide a front
passenger additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts.
WARNING!
• Do not install a child restraint in the
front seat unless the Passenger Air Bag
DISABLE (OFF) Indicator light
on
the center stack is illuminated to show
that the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag is DISABLED (OFF).
• In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you
are not properly buckled up. You can
strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of
the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.
The Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag can
be ENABLED (ON) or DISABLED (OFF) by
selecting the desired setting in the instru-
ment cluster display menu. For more infor-
mation on how to access the instrument clus-
ter display, refer to “Instrument Cluster
Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.SAFETY

The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE Feature
consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
•
Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF)
Indicator Light — an amber light located in
the center stack
•
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indi-
cator Light — an amber light located in the
center stack
•
Air Bag Warning Light — an amber
light located in the instrument cluster
display
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the readiness of the electronic parts
of the air bag system whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.
The ORC illuminates the Passenger Air Bag
DISABLE (OFF) Indicator Light and the Pas-
senger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator Light
in the center stack for approximately five to
eight seconds for a self-check when the igni-
tion switch is first in the START or ON/RUN
position. After the self-check, the indicator
light that is illuminated tells the driver and
passenger the status of the Passenger Ad-vanced Front Air Bag. If any of the following
occurs, have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately:
• Both indicator lights do not come on as a
self-check when the ignition is first in the
START or ON/RUN position.
• Both indicator lights stay on after you start
the vehicle.
• Both indicator lights stay off after you start
the vehicle.
• Both indicator lights come on as you drive.
• Both indicator lights turn off as you drive.
Once the self-check is complete, only one
Passenger Air Bag Indicator Light should be
illuminated at a time.
WARNING!
If any of the above conditions occur, indi-
cating there is an issue with the Passenger
Air Bag Indicator Light, the Passenger Ad-
vanced Front Air Bag will remain in the last
selected state (DISABLED or ENABLED).
Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indicator
Light
The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indi-
cator Light (an amber light located in the
center stack) tells the driver and front pas-
senger when the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag is deactivated. The Passenger Air Bag
DISABLE (OFF) Indicator Light on the center
stack will illuminate
to show that the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not
deploy during a collision.NEVERassume the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is deacti-
vated unless the Passenger Air Bag DISABLE
(OFF) Indicator Light
on the center stack
is illuminated.
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator
Light
The Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indica-
tor Light (an amber light located in the center
stack) tells the driver and front passenger
when the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
is activated. The Passenger Air Bag ENABLE
(ON) Indicator Light on the center stack will
illuminate
to show that the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will deploy during an
impact that requires air bag deployment.

NEVERassume the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag is activated unless the Passenger Air
Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator Light
on the
center stack is illuminated.
WARNING!
• NEVER use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
• It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in
the event of a collision.
• Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the passenger side front seat in a rear-
facing child restraint system, the pas-
senger side front air bag must be deac-
tivated. Always make sure the airbag
deactivation indicator light is illumi-
nated when using a child restraint sys-
tem. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible
to avoid the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
WARNING!
• A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.
• Children 12 years or younger should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.

PARK BRAKE
Electric Park Brake (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric
Park Brake System (EPB) that offers greater
convenience. The park brake switch is lo-
cated in the center console.
To apply the park brake manually, pull up on
the switch momentarily. The BRAKE warning
lamp in the instrument cluster and an indi-
cator on the switch will illuminate.To release the park brake manually, the igni-
tion switch must be in RUN. Then put your
foot on the brake pedal and push the park
brake switch down momentarily. Once the
park brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE
warning lamp and the switch indicator will
extinguish.
The park brake can also be automatically
released. With the engine running and the
transmission in gear, release the brake pedal
and depress the throttle pedal. For safety
reasons, your seat belt must also be fastened.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from
the back of the vehicle while the parking
brake engages or disengages.
• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you
are engaging or disengaging the parking
brake, you may notice a small amount of
brake pedal movement.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be
used to apply the park brake automatically
every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park
Brake can be enabled and disabled in the
Settings menu in Uconnect.• The parking brake can be engaged even
when the ignition switch is OFF, however, it
can only be disengaged when the ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN position.
• If exceptional circumstances should make
it necessary to engage the park brake while
the vehicle is in motion, maintain upward
pressure on the electric park brake switch
for as long as engagement is desired. The
BRAKE warning lamp will illuminate, and a
continuous chime will sound. The rear stop
lamps will also be illuminated automati-
cally while the vehicle remains in motion.
• SafeHold a new feature that will automati-
cally apply the park brake under certain
conditions. The EPB monitors the status of
the driver’s seat belt, driver’s door and
pedal positions to determine if the driver
may have exited while the vehicle is still
capable of moving and will then automati-
cally apply the park brake to prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the
EPB switch is held for longer than 20 sec-
onds in either the released or applied posi-
tion. The light will extinguish upon releas-
ing the switch.
