Occupant Restraint Systems; Occupant Restraint Systems Features; Important Safety Precautions - Jeep Compass Operating Information Manual

2. If you install the compact spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
still turn ON due to the low tire. The "LOW
TIRE" text message and the graphic with the
low tire pressure flashing will be displayed.
3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. In addition, the instrument cluster will
display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
values.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound and the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid, and
the instrument cluster will display a "SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a mini-
mum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure values.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the compact spare tire, the TPMS will update
automatically and the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing Telltale Light will turn OFF, as long as no
92
tire pressure is below the low-pressure warn-
ing limit in any of the four active road tires.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
wheel and tire assemblies that do not have
TPMS Sensors, such as when installing Winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your vehicle. To
deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires not
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the "TPM Telltale Light" will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on and the instru-
ment cluster will display the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message and then display dashes
(--) in place of the pressure values. Beginning
with the next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will
no longer chime or flash the TPM telltale and
display the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message
in the instrument cluster display but dashes (--)
will remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the "TPM
Telltale Light" will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then turn off, and the instrument cluster will
display the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage. The instrument cluster will also display
pressure values in place of the dashes. On the
next ignition switch cycle the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer be displayed
as long as no system fault exists.
