Jeep Compass Overview - Freedom
Decked with attitude from its unique seven-slot grille and fog lamps, Jeep Compass Limited matches
the performance of its standard 172 hp DOHC dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) 16-valve engine with a
healthy displacement of style. Its 18-inch silver painted aluminum wheels and all-season performance
tires make a statement unique to Compass Limited. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(1)
and Electronic
Roll Mitigation (ERM) help tame this racehorse.
Compass Limited also features silver bodyside molding accents and silver bumper inserts that furnish
a dose of fresh design. Side power mirrors are heated, so you’ll always see who’s trailing behind. The
new Tip Start feature gets you going with a quick, light twist and release to the ignition switch
(automatic transaxle only). Handy Hill Start Assist (HSA) is standard on manual transaxle-equipped
models. Limited’s powertrain includes a 172 hp 2.4L DOHC 16V dual VVT, a 4-cylinder go-getter that’s
attached to a sturdy 5-speed manual transaxle. Upgrade to Freedom-Drive I

4WD system and add a
Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle (CVT2) with AutoStick
®
and you are also given the capability
for clutchless upshifting and downshifting. Plus, you’ll enjoy a 4WD LOCK Mode feature that adds maximum
traction during more challenging low-speed conditions; other less capable vehicles are sent limping back home.
Compass Sport shows up with a standard 158 hp 2.0L engine matched to a 5-speed manual transaxle (2WD) with
up to 29 mpg for efficient and capable driving on the highway.

No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or
overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available
traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the
ESC warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs
to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to
prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent
with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
