2021 JEEP COMPASS tow

235
It is not recommended driving a vehicle
loaded at full capacity or to tow a trailer
while a tire is in the run flat mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for
more information.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice
conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than
30 seconds continuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In
Case Of Emergency” for further information.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original
equipment tires to help you in determining
when your tires should be replaced.Tire Tread
These indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. They will appear as
bands when the tread depth becomes a 1/16
of an inch (1.6 mm). When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced.
Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this section
for further information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including, but not limited to:
Driving style.
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation
pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
to develop across the tire tread. These
abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread
life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
Distance driven.
Performance tires, tires with a speed
rating of V or higher, and Summer tires
typically have a reduced tread life. Rota-
tion of these tires per the vehicle sched -
uled maintenance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure.
A tire could explode and injure someone.
Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster
than 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than
30 seconds continuously when you are
stuck, and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the
speed.1 — Worn Tire
2 — New Tire
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced
after six years, regardless of the remaining
tread. Failure to follow this warning can
result in sudden tire failure. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death.

Summer Or Three Season Tires — If
Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet
and dry conditions, and are not intended to
be driven in snow or on ice. If your vehicle is
equipped with Summer tires, be aware these
tires are not designed for Winter or cold
driving conditions. Install Winter tires on
your vehicle when ambient temperatures are
less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered
with ice or snow. For more information,
contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season
designation or mountain/snowflake symbol
on the tire sidewall. Use Summer tires only
in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely
affect the safety and handling of your
vehicle.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of
snow tires during the Winter. Snow tires can
be identified by a “mountain/snowflake”
symbol on the tire sidewall.If you need snow tires, select tires
equivalent in size and type to the
original equipment tires. Use snow
tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety and handling of
your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings
than what was originally equipped with your
vehicle and should not be operated at
sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h).
For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer
to original equipment or an authorized tire
dealer for recommended safe operating
speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pres -
sures.
While studded tires improve performance on
ice, skid and traction capability on wet or dry
surfaces may be poorer than that of
non-studded tires. Some states prohibit
studded tires; therefore, local laws should be
checked before using these tire types.
Spare Tires — If Equipped
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit
instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire
Service Kit” in “In Case Of Emergency” in
the Owner’s Manual for further information.
Refer to the “Towing Requirements - Tires”
in “Starting And Operating” in the Owner’s
Manual for restrictions when towing with a
spare tire designated for temporary emer -
gency use.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire
And Wheel — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare
tire and wheel equivalent in look and func -
tion to the original equipment tire and wheel
found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle.
This spare tire may be used in the tire rota -
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice
conditions. You could lose vehicle control,
resulting in severe injury or death. Driving
too fast for conditions also creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance,
do not take your vehicle through an
automatic car wash with a compact or
limited use temporary spare installed.
Damage to the vehicle may result.

INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning Procedure — If
Equipped
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in the
following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible
by blotting with a clean, dry towel.
Blot any remaining stain with a clean,
damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solu -
tion to a clean, damp cloth and remove
stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to remove
soap residue.

For grease stains, apply a specific product to
a clean, damp cloth and remove stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other
form of protectants on Stain Repel products.

Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only
by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it
with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windshield
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windshield and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
WARNING!

A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking
for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision
if they have been damaged (i.e., bent
retractor, torn webbing, etc.).

Plastic And Coated Parts
Use a specific product to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When
cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to
avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use
high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with
a clean damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a damp
soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as
an abrasive and damage the leather uphol -
stery and should be removed promptly with a
damp cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery. Application of a leather
conditioner is not required to maintain the
original condition.
NOTE:
If equipped with light colored leather, it
tends to show any foreign material, dirt, and
fabric dye transfer more so than darker
colors. The leather is designed for easy
cleaning.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with any commercial house -
hold-type glass cleaner. Never use an abra -
sive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning
the inside rear window equipped with elec -
tric defrosters or windows equipped with
radio antennas. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch the
elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or cloth that you are
using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the
mirror.
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect
repellents, suntan lotions, or hand sani -
tizers to the plastic, painted, or deco-
rated surfaces of the interior may cause
permanent damage. Wipe away immedi -
ately.
Damage caused by these type of prod -
ucts may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/
or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather upholstery, as damage to the
upholstery may result.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
1.4L Turbo Gasoline Engine
This engine is designed to meet all emission
regulations and provide satisfactory fuel
economy and performance when using
high-quality unleaded gasoline having a
minimum research octane rating (RON) of
95. For optimum performance and fuel
economy the use of minimum research
octane rating (RON) of 98 or higher is recom-
mended. Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita
-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita -
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Ethanol
The manufacturer recommends that your
vehicle be operated on fuel containing no
more than 10% ethanol. Purchasing your
fuel from a reputable supplier may reduce
the risk of exceeding this 10% limit and/or of
receiving fuel with abnormal properties.
Materials Added To Fuel
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning
agents should be avoided. Many of these
materials intended for gum and varnish
removal may contain active solvents or
similar ingredients. These can harm fuel
system gasket and diaphragm materials.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline
with oxygenates such as ethanol.
CAUTION!
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR or the maximum front and rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, or it can change the way your
vehicle handles. This could cause you to
lose control. Also overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle. Never exceed the
maximum combined vehicle load value:
the maximum towable load is only allowed
if it does not exceed the maximum
combined vehicle load.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher
than 10% may result in engine
malfunction, starting and operating
difficulties, and materials degradation.
These adverse effects could result in
permanent damage to your vehicle.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing
methanol, or gasoline containing more
than 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of these
blends may result in starting and
drivability problems, damage critical fuel
system components, cause emissions to
exceed the applicable standard, and/or
cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to
illuminate. Please observe pump labels as
they should clearly communicate if a fuel
contains greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
