COMPASS
IT DOESN’T TAKE MORE
THAN ONE DRIVE TO KNOW
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.
LIMITED SHOWN IN SADDLE BROWN PERFORATED LEATHER TRIM
SOUNDS OF THE
OUTSIDE WORLD
SEEM TO DISAPPEAR
THANKS TO A NEW
ACOUSTIC WINDSHIELD.
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.
1
* 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
FIVE-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION DELIVERS AN OUTSTANDING 4x2 EPA-ESTIMATED 30MPG ON HIGHWAYS
AND 23 MPG IN THE CITY AND SHOWS OFF WITH 158HP AND 141LB-FT OF TORQUE. WITH NUMBERS
LIKE THESE, YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO EXTEND THE ADVENTURE AND TRAVEL MORE THAN 400 MILES
ON A FULL TANK OF GAS.*
MPG
*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,
1
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.

your senses will soar. Make every ride more relaxing with the
available BostonAcoustics
®
Nine-Speaker Premium Sound Group
with 368watts of clean power. The premium Boston Acoustics

YOU’RE PROTECTED AT
EVERY ANGLE.

The new available ParkView
®
Back-Up
Camera
2
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.

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).
3
An
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.
4
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
4
has its own sensor to autonomously
trigger the air bag
4
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.
5
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.
