2019 JEEP COMPASS Owner handbook (in English)

The Rain Sensing system has protection fea-
tures for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
•Change In Ignition Position— If the vehicle
is in Rain Sensing mode and the ignition is
cycled from OFF to ON, the auto wiper will
be suppressed until vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper switch is
moved out of and back into the Intermittent
wipe position.
•Transmission In NEUTRAL Position— The
Rain Sensing system will not operate if the
NEUTRAL gear is selected at speeds of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less unless the wiper
switch is moved or the gear selector is
moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit— On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, Rain
Sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has
been selected, and no other inhibit condi-
tions (mentioned previously) exist.Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the windshield wiper/washer lever on the
right side of the steering column. The rear
wiper/washer is operated by rotating a switch,
located at the middle of the lever.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward
to the first detent for intermittent operation
and to the second detent for continuous rear
wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pushed while the wiper is in the off position,
the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control System allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direc-
tion of air circulating throughout the vehicle.
The controls are located on the touchscreen
(if equipped) and on the instrument panel
below the radio.
Automatic Climate Controls Overview
The controls for the heating and air condi-
tioning system in this vehicle can consist of a
series of outer rotary dials, inner push knobs,
and/or a touchscreen. These comfort controls
can be set to obtain desired interior condi-
tions.

MAX A/C Button
Press and release the MAX A/C button on the touchscreen to change the current setting to the coldest output
of air. Pressing the button again will cause the MAX A/C operation to exit.

Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
Recirculation can be used in all modes. Recirculation may be unavailable (button on the touchscreen greyed
out) if conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of the windshield. The A/C can be deselected
manually without disturbing the mode control
selection. Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may
occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
AUTO Button
Automatically controls the interior cabin temperature by adjusting airflow distribution and amount.
Toggling this function will cause the system to switch between manual mode and
automatic modes. Refer to “Automatic Operation” within this section for more information.
Front Defrost Button
Press and release to change the current airflow setting to Defrost mode. The indicator illuminates when
this feature is on. Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. When the defrost button is
selected, the blower level may increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting and defogging.
Performing this function will cause the ATC to switch into manual mode. If the front defrost mode is turned
off the climate system will return the previous setting.

direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and down or
side to side to regulate airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the air vanes to shut off or
adjust the amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister outlets.

Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and warmer
air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting works best in cold or

Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate
the air conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool dehu-
midified air will flow through the outlets into
the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press
the A/C button to turn off the air conditioning
and manually adjust the blower and airflow
mode settings. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level, or Floor modes.
NOTE:
• For Manual Climate Controls, if the system
is in Mix, Floor or Defrost Mode, the A/C can
be turned off, but the A/C system shall
remain active to prevent fogging of the
windows.• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or
side glass, select Defrost mode, and in-
crease blower speed if needed.
•
If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front of the radia-
tor), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front
of the radiator and through the condenser.
MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cool-
ing performance.
Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C
and the prior settings. The button illuminates
when MAX A/C is on.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode posi-
tion can be adjusted to desired user settings.
Pressing other settings will cause the MAX
A/C operation to switch to the selected set-
ting and MAX A/C to exit.Recirculation
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or
high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired,
you may wish to recirculate interior air by
pressing the Recirculation control button.
The Recirculation indicator will illuminate
when this button is selected. Press the but-
ton a second time to turn off the Recircula-
tion mode and allow outside air into the
vehicle.
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode
may lead to excessive window fogging. The
Recirculation feature may be unavailable
(button on the touchscreen greyed out) if
conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield.
