2019 JEEP COMPASS wheel

6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the trans-
mission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an authorized
dealer at your earliest possible convenience.
An authorized dealer has diagnostic equip-
ment to assess the condition of your trans-
mission. If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy
has been included in the automatic transmis-
sion on your vehicle. A clutch within the
torque converter engages automatically at
calibrated speeds. This may result in a
slightly different feeling or response during
normal operation in the upper gears. When
the vehicle speed drops or during some ac-
celerations, the clutch automatically disen-
gages.NOTE:
The torque converter clutch will not engage
until the engine and/or transmission is warm
(usually after 1 to 3 miles [2 to 5 km] of
driving). Because the engine speed is higher
when the torque converter clutch is not en-
gaged, it may seem as if the transmission is
not shifting properly when the vehicle is cold.
This is normal. The torque converter clutch
will function normally once the powertrain is
sufficiently warm.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED
Jeep Active Drive
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Power
Transfer Unit (PTU). This system is auto-
matic with no driver inputs or additional
driving skills required. Under normal driving
conditions, the front wheels provide most of
the traction. If the front wheels begin to lose
traction, power is shifted automatically to the
rear wheels. The greater the front wheel trac-
tion loss, the greater the power transfer to the
rear wheels.Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy
throttle input (where one may have no wheel
spin), torque will be sent to the rear in a
preemptive effort to improve vehicle launch
and performance characteristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and
type tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be
used. Unequal tire size may cause failure
of the power transfer unit.
Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The four wheel drive (4WD) is fully automatic
in normal driving mode.
NOTE:
It is not possible to carry out the change of
mode when the vehicle exceeds the speed of
75 mph (120 km/h).
Enabling Four Wheel Drive (4x4)
The buttons for the activation of four wheel
drive are located on the device Selec-Terrain
and allow you to select the following:
•4WD LOCK
•4WD LOW — (Trailhawk models only)STARTING AND OPERATING
158

SELEC-TERRAIN —
IF EQUIPPED
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of
the vehicle control systems, along with driver
input, to provide the best performance for all
terrains.
Mode Selection Guide
Rotate the Selec-Terrain knob to select the
desired mode.
•AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation is a
continuous operation, is fully automatic
and can be used on and off road. This mode
balances traction to ensure maneuverabil-
ity and acceleration improvement com-
pared to a vehicle with two wheel drive.
This mode also reduces fuel consumption,
since it allows the disconnect of the drive
shaft where conditions permit.•SNOW: This mode allows you to have greater
stability under conditions of bad weather.
For use on and off road on surfaces with
poor traction, such as roads covered with
snow. When in SNOW mode (depending on
certain operating conditions), the transmis-
sion may use second gear (rather than first
gear) during launches, to minimize wheel
slippage.
•SAND: For off-road driving or use on sur-
faces with poor traction, such as dry sand.
The transmission is set to provide maxi-
mum traction.
•MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces
with poor traction, such as roads covered by
mud or wet grass.
•ROCK(Trailhawk only): This mode is only
available in 4WD LOW range. The device
sets the vehicle to maximize traction and
allow the highest steering capacity for off-
road surfaces. This mode gives you the
maximum performance off-road. Use for
low speed obstacles such as large rocks,
deep ruts, etc.

CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, in-
cluding small obstacles. Parking curbs
might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above
or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense in order to be able to
stop in time when an obstacle is de-
tected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.
PARKSENSE ACTIVE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during Parallel,
Perpendicular, and Parallel Park Exit maneu-
vers by identifying a proper parking space,
providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel.The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
defined as “semi-automatic” since the driver
maintains control of the accelerator, gear
selector and brakes. Depending on the driv-
er's parking maneuver selection, the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system is ca-
pable of maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel
or a perpendicular parking space on either
side (i.e., driver side or passenger side), as
well as exiting a parallel parking space.
NOTE:
• The driver is always responsible for control-
ling the vehicle, responsible for any sur-
rounding objects, and must intervene as
required.
• The system is provided to assist the driver
and not to substitute the driver.
• During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the
driver touches the steering wheel after be-
ing instructed to remove their hands from
the steering wheel, the system will cancel,
and the driver will be required to manually
complete the parking maneuver.• The system may not work in all conditions
(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
• New vehicles from the dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated before
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
fully calibrated and performs accurately.
This is due to the system’s dynamic vehicle
calibration to improve the performance of
the feature. The system will also continu-
ously perform the dynamic vehicle calibra-
tion to account for differences such as over
or under inflated tires and new tires.
Enabling And Disabling The ParkSense
Active Park Assist System
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can
be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To enable the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system, push the
ParkSense Active Park Assist
switch once (LED turns on).
173

To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park As-
sist switch again (LED turns off).
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will
turn off automatically for any of the following
conditions:
• The parking maneuver is completed.
• Vehicle speed greater than 18 mph
(30 km/h) when searching for a parking
space.
• Vehicle speed greater than 5 mph (7 km/h)
during active steering guidance into the
parking space.
• Touching the steering wheel during active
steering guidance into the parking space.
• Pushing the ParkSense Front and Rear Park
Assist switch.
• Driver's door is opened.
• Rear liftgate is opened.
• Electronic Stability Control/Anti-lock Brak-
ing System intervention.• The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
will allow a maximum number of shifts
between DRIVE and REVERSE. If the ma-
neuver cannot be completed within the
maximum amount of shifts, the system will
cancel and the instrument cluster display
will instruct the driver to complete the
maneuver manually.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will
only operate and search for a parking space
when the following conditions are present:
• Gear position is in DRIVE.
• Ignition is in the RUN position.
• ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is ac-
tivated.
• Driver's door is closed.
• Rear liftgate is closed.
• Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph
(25 km/h).NOTE:
If the vehicle is driven above approximately
15 mph (25 km/h), the instrument cluster
display will instruct the driver to slow down.
If the vehicle is driven above approximately
18 mph (30 km/h), the system will cancel.
The driver must then reactivate the system
by pushing the ParkSense Active Park As-
sist switch.
• The outer surface and the underside of the
front and rear fascias/bumpers are clean
and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstruction.
When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch will blink momen-
tarily, and then the LED will turn off if any of
the above conditions are not present.
Exiting The Parking Space
NOTE:
The function does not work for exiting a
perpendicular parking space, but only exiting
parallel parking spaces.
STARTING AND OPERATING
174

Activation
To activate this function, push the Active
ParkSense hard switch and then use the
steering wheel arrow buttons to select the
Parallel Park Exit feature. After the selection,
the system activates and warns the driver on
the instrument panel display about the opera-
tions that have to be carried out to perform
the maneuver correctly.
Selection Of The Maneuver Side
Use the right and left arrow buttons on the
steering wheel to select between parallel or
perpendicular parking mode. Then use the
direction indicators (turn signals) to choose
the direction that you want to perform the
maneuver.
During the maneuver, the system asks to shift
to REVERSE, select the direction indicator in
the direction you want to exit. Let go of the
steering wheel and press the dedicated ped-
als, while the system handles the steering
automatically for exiting the parking space. If
the driver continues to carry out a voluntary or
involuntary action on the steering wheel dur-ing the exit maneuver (touching or holding
the steering wheel to prevent its movement),
the maneuver will be interrupted.
End Of Maneuver
The semi-automatic maneuver ends when the
display shows the message of a completed
maneuver. At the end of the maneuver, the
system gives back the vehicle control to the
driver.
Important Information
• If the sensors undergo impact which alters
their position, the system operation could
be greatly affected.
• The sensors reach top performance after
the vehicle has gone about 30 miles
(50 km) due to the dynamic tire circumfer-
ence calculations used for parking.
• Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, tak-
ing care not to scratch or damage them. The
sensors must not be covered with ice, snow,
slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to do so
can result in the system not working prop-
erly. The ParkSense system might not de-
tect an obstacle behind or in front of thefascia/bumper, or it could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper.
• Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the perfor-
mance of ParkSense.
• Sensors may detect a nonexistent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the vehicle or in the
case of rain, strong wind, and hail.
• The sensors may not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams,
panels, nets, bushes, anti-parking posts,
pavements, rubbish bins, motor vehicles,
etc.). Always take great care to check that
the vehicle and its path are actually com-
patible with the parking place identified by
the system.
• The use of wheels and tires that are differ-
ent size to the original equipment could
affect the operation of the system.
• The operation of the rear sensors is auto-
matically deactivated when the trailer's
electric plug is inserted in the vehicle's tow
hook socket, while the front sensors stay
175

active and can provide acoustic and visual
warnings. The rear sensors are automati-
cally reactivated when the trailer's cable
plug is removed.
• In "Search in progress" mode, the system
could incorrectly identify a parking place to
carry out the maneuver (e.g. by a junction,
driveways, roads crossing the direction of
travel, etc.).
• In the case of parking maneuvers on roads
on a slope, the performance of the system
could be inferior and it may deactivate.
• If a parking maneuver is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the system may cause the ve-
hicle to mount the pavement.
• Some maneuvers at very tight bends might
be impossible to be carried out.
• Take great care to ensure that conditions do
not change during the parking maneuver
(e.g. if there are persons and/or animals in
the parking place, moving vehicles, etc.)
and intervene immediately if necessary.• During parking maneuvers, pay attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite di-
rection. Always abide by the law and road
regulations.
NOTE:
• Correct system operation is not guaranteed
if snow chains or the space-saver wheel are
fitted.
• The function only informs the driver about
the last appropriate parking place (parallel
or perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.
• Some messages displayed are accompa-
nied by acoustic warnings.
LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system
uses a forward looking camera to detect lane
markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries.When both lane markings are detected and
the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense
system provides a haptic warning in the form
of torque applied to the steering wheel, as
well as a visual warning in the instrument
cluster display, to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected
and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the
LaneSense system provides a visual warning
through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected,
a haptic (torque) warning will not be pro-
vided.
