2019 JEEP COMPASS tires

The suggested Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Tire
rotation method is the “rearward cross”
shown in the following diagram.
CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive ve-
hicles depends on tires of equal size, type
and circumference on each wheel. Any
difference in tire size can cause damage to
the power transfer unit. Tire rotation
schedule should be followed to balance
tire wear.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for
more than a month, observe the following
precautions:
• Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and
possibly airy location the windows open
slightly.
• Check that the Electric Park Brake is not
engaged.
• Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from
the battery post and be sure that the battery
is fully charged. During storage check bat-
tery charge quarterly.
• If you do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check the battery
charge every 30 days.
• Clean and protect the painted parts by
applying protective waxes.
• Clean and protect polished metal parts by
applying protective waxes.
• Apply talcum powder to the front and rear
wiper blades and leave raised from the
glass.• Cover the vehicle with an appropriate cover
taking care not to damage the painted sur-
face by dragging across dirty surfaces. Do
not use plastic sheeting which will not allow
the evaporation of moisture present on the
surface of the vehicle.
• Inflate the tires at a pressure of +7.25 psi
(+0.5 bar) higher than recommended on
the tire placard and check it periodically.
• Do not drain the engine cooling system.
• Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary
for two weeks or more, idle the engine for
approximately five minutes, with the air
conditioning system on and high fan speed.
This will ensure proper lubrication of the
system, thus minimizing the possibility of
damage to the compressor when the vehicle
is put back into operation.
NOTE:
When the vehicle has not been started or
driven for at least 30 days, an Extended Park
Start Procedure is required to start the ve-
hicle.
Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.
Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Tire Rotation

Minimum Ground Clearance (Reference A)
The clearance value is measured next to the
lower edge of the differential. This value also
defines those for the “Approach Angle” the
“Departure Angle” and the “Breakover Angle”.
Dimensions are expressed in inches (mm)
and refer to the vehicle equipped with its
original tires.
Approach Angle (Reference B)
The approach angle is determined by the
horizontal line of the road surface, and by the
tangent line passing between the front wheel,
and the most projecting low point of the car.
The wider the angle, the lower the chance to
hit an obstacle with the body or chassis,
when climbing a steep slope or overcoming
an obstacle.
Departure Angle (Reference C)
The departure angle is determined by the
same lines of the “Approach Angle”, and
refers to the rear part of the vehicle.Breakover Angle (Reference D)
The value of the “Breakover Angle” is linked
to the ground clearance of the vehicle and
indicates the attitude of the vehicle to over-
come a wedge, more or less steep, preventing
the vehicle from resting on the ground with
the body or chassis after touching the wedge
with its lowest and most projecting parts
(usually the underbody), because this would
highly reduce wheel grip.
The wheels, without a suitable grip to the
ground, will not have sufficient hold to move
the vehicle, and will surge.
The higher the ground clearance, the wider
the breakover angle. Always bear in mind that
the higher the ground clearance, the lower
the stability, due to a higher center of gravity
which reduces the side rollover angle.Ground Clearance / Typical Angles
