IT DOESN’T TAKE MORE

WHERE THIS ICONIC STYLE

COMES FROM.

COMPASS IS WITHOUT

COMPROMISE.

LIMITED SHOWN IN BLACK

LIMITED SHOWN IN MAXIMUM STEEL METALLIC

REFINED YET RUGGED.

The 2014 Jeep

Compass arrives on the scene distinctively designed

with the signature seven-slot Jeep grille and styling DNA from

Jeep Grand Cherokee. New bi-halogen projector headlamps with

Black bezels, a chrome grille surround with new bright texture, and

18-inch aluminum wheels are all available. A new acoustic windshield

helps keep out road noise for improved cabin acoustics, while new

taillamps feature a smoked inner bezel. From weekend excursions in

the city to an alluring campsite, Compass’ strength, conﬁdence, and

rugged good looks have you ready for any adventure.

BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED INTERIOR.

Slide into the refreshed Compass interior and be treated

to all the style, cabin comforts, and roominess you require.

Soft-touch surfaces, quality materials, and available Saddle

Brown perforated leather trim lay the foundation for an

upscale look and feel. New front- and rear-door switch

bezels and door trims feature Satin Silver touches. A

new shifter bezel sports soft-touch paint, Satin Chrome

accents, and an appliqué of the iconic seven-slot Jeep

grille, while an updated instrument panel shows off a

Compass badge. Both the center- and rear-door armrests

showcase a new cut-and-sewn treatment. For the comfort

and convenience of all passengers, air conditioning, power

windows, power locks, power adjusting and heated exterior

mirrors, remote keyless entry, illuminated cup holders,

and cruise control are standard on Compass Latitude and

Limited and with the Power Value Group on Sport.

SOUNDS OF THE

OUTSIDE WORLD

SEEM TO DISAPPEAR

THANKS TO A NEW

ACOUSTIC WINDSHIELD.

Information Provided by:

TRACTION. Trail Rated

traction

helps you maintain controlled

forward motion on snowy back

roads and icy bridges. You can

climb steep sand dunes and

master muddy two-tracks. Others

may fear untamed terrain, but

your Trail Rated Compass has the

traction within to master all kinds of

topography and driving conditions.

MANEUVERABILITY. Every Compass

is born with the athletic ability to

navigate narrow gaps, avoid

emergency situations, and reduce

cosmetic damage to underbody

sills, thanks to precision steering

and optimized wheelbases.

BENEATH THE BEAUTY

OF ITS SHEET METAL

IS THE STRENGTH

TO MAKE THE

UNKNOWN KNOWN.

ARTICULATION. Compass’ suspension

systems enhance on- and off-road

performance by maximizing flexibility,

axle articulation, and wheel travel. This

standard indicates that, when one or

more wheels are elevated, the Jeep

brand

4x4 system helps the others stay on the

ground longer to keep you moving.

GROUND CLEARANCE. Head out

knowing your Trail Rated Compass has

optimized approach, departure, and

breakover angles designed to clear

logs, rocks, and uneven ground. The

undercarriage is protected, too, with

forged skid plates that cover the vehicle’s

most valuable underbody elements.

WATER FORDING.

* Traverse streams

with confidence, knowing there are

additional electrical and body seals,

plus a high air-intake location. Compass

has the capability to safely manage in

up to 19 inches of water. Always inspect

all waterways before proceeding, just to

make sure there are no unforeseen pitfalls.

TRAIL RATED. The available badge of

honor bestowed only after mastering a

series of grueling tests on the toughest

of terrain in five distinct categories.

* A note about this brochure: all disclaimers and disclosures

can be found on the inside back cover.

The available Trail Rated

fortitude of Jeep

Compass gives you the ability to courageously

take on the road, trail, or stream with confidence. To fiercely face Mother Nature’s wrath with

steely nerve. To drive through it and drive over it with certitude. To know you’re operating

with the recognized standard for off-road capability.

DESIGNED TO DELIVER THE CAPABILITY OF AN SUV AND THE FUEL EFFICIENCY OF A COMPACT CAR.

THE STANDARD 2.0L DOHC 16V DUAL VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) I-4 ENGINE MATED WITH THE

LIKE THESE, YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO EXTEND THE ADVENTURE AND TRAVEL MORE THAN 400 MILES

ON A FULL TANK OF GAS.*

*EQUIPPED WITH 13.6-GALLON TANK.

2.4L DOHC 16VDUAL VARIABLE

VALVE TIMING (VVT) I-4 ENGINE.

Choose the 2.4LDOHC16V engine featuring

dual VVT paired with the five-speed manual

transmission for a brilliant mix of an EPA-

estimated 4x4 fuel economy of 23city/28

highway with 172hp and 165lb-ft of torque.

ALL-NEW SIX-SPEED

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

Pair the available new PowerTech six-speed

automatic transmission to either of Compass’

capable engine offerings for a smoother,

quieter ride regardless of whether you’re

traveling road or trail. This new six-speed has a

low first gear for quicker takeoffs and a tall top

gear for relaxed highway cruising. A stepped

shift schedule across all six gears is designed

for optimal city fuel economy. The fact that

the fill-for-life design helps reduce maintenance

costs is just extra pride of ownership.

CAPABILITY.

From advanced automotive engine technology

to the sure-footedness of the touring-tuned

suspension and the legendary 4WD ruggedness,

Compass offers true performance.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE II (CVT2L).

This available system boasts a low range that

provides the torque multiplication needed for

water fording,

steep grades, and crawling

slowly in off-road events. Includes Off-Road

mode that delivers an off-road-capable

19:1 crawl ratio.

FREEDOM DRIVE I.

When snow, muddy roads, or steep gravel

describes your route, opt for Freedom Drive I.

The active, full-time 4WD capability with LOCK

mode features an Electronically Controlled

Coupling (ECC), which constantly monitors

wheel slippage and transfers torque to the

axle that can use it most. In tough conditions,

the system can be locked 50/50 front/rear

for added low-speed capability and control.

FREEDOM DRIVE II.

This available system gives Compass its

Trail Rated

chops with features like full-time

4WD with LOCK mode, Off-Road mode with

Hill Descent Control, and brake traction control.

Torque is adjusted on-demand for added fuel

efficiency. Its all-weather capability expertly

handles more difficult off-road situations,

as well as deeper snow, mud, and up to

19inches of water.

DEDICATED TO DETAILS.

Compass incorporates design cues inspired by nature. Whether

you’re visually allured by exterior details, stirred by the

rhythms from the sound system, or relaxed by the warmth

streaming through the open sunroof, when you drive Compass,

your senses will soar. Make every ride more relaxing with the

available BostonAcoustics

Nine-Speaker Premium Sound Group

with 368watts of clean power. The premium Boston Acoustics

speakers are renowned for their smooth, octave-to-octave tonal

balance. Opt for the available sunroof and enjoy the fresh air, sun,

or starlight with express open/close operation.

WHEN TECHNOLOGY

TOUCHES EVERY AREA,

YOU CAN BE ASSURED

YOU’RE PROTECTED AT

EVERY ANGLE.

PARKVIEW

BACK-UP CAMERA.

The new available ParkView

Back-Up

Camera

helps you park and back out

with grace. The system displays a rearview

video image with dynamic distance grid

lines when in Reverse. During parking and

other similar maneuvers, the system helps

bring previously hidden rear objects to

your attention on-screen, giving you

time to react.

LATITUDE SHOWN IN SPORT MESH CLOTH AND MCKINLEY VINYL TRIM

Information Provided by:

PARKVIEW

REAR BACK-UP CAMERA.

This available

system displays an accurate visual reference

of what is behind your vehicle when you

are in Reverse.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS. Embedded

sensors continuously monitor the pressure in the

tires and will immediately notify the driver when

levels drop below the minimum acceptable.

HEATED POWER EXTERIOR MIRRORS.

Melt snow

and ice off your sideview mirrors as you warm

up your interior. This available feature also helps

to keep your mirrors icicle-free as you drive.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC).

advanced system designed to assist drivers in

maintaining control of their vehicle at all times.

It integrates a four-wheel Antilock Brake

System (ABS) with hydraulic Brake Assist,

all-speed traction control, and Electronic Roll

Mitigation (ERM) to constantly monitor driver

input against the vehicle’s actual course. When

needed, the system automatically helps provide

braking to the appropriate wheels and reduces

engine power when overly sharp steering and/

or impending wheel lift is detected.

ADVANCED MULTISTAGE FRONT AND

SIDE-CURTAIN AIR BAGS.

These air bags provide

nearly instantaneous occupant protection by

matching air bag output to crash severity.

NEW STANDARD SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT-

SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIR BAGS.

Each side

air bag

has its own sensor to autonomously

trigger the air bag

on the side where the

impact occurs.

HALOGEN HEADLAMPS AND FOG LAMPS. These

bright sources of light improve down-road

visibility at night or during inclement weather.

HILL START ASSIST (HSA). This system works

to prevent Compass from rolling away when

starting the vehicle on an up- or downhill

gradient. It holds the vehicle stationary for

two seconds after the driver’s foot is removed

from the brake pedal, allowing time to apply

the throttle. Standard on manual transaxle

models and included with the Trail Rated

Freedom Drive II

Off-Road Group.

FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS.

In the

event of a rear-end collision, the head restraints

move forward and upward to decrease the space

between the headrest and the occupant’s head,

thereby helping to reduce the chance of injury.
