Highway Assist System - If Equipped; Operation - Jeep Compass 2023 Owner's Manual

114 STARTING AND OPERATING
Supplemental Information
Supplemental information may be displayed along with a
newly detected speed limit, indicating special
circumstances of which the driver should be aware.
Available supplemental information includes:
 School
 Construction
 Rain
 Snow
 Fog
NOTE:
Supplemental information will not be displayed when the
vehicle is ONLY equipped with GPS.
Speed Limit Exceeded
When the vehicle speed exceeds the displayed speed limit
by 3 mph (5 km/h), the speed limit sign on the instrument
cluster display will show a red outline to alert the driver.
CAUTION!
 Traffic Sign Assist is designed to assist the driver and
is not a substitute for the driver. It is always the
driver's responsibility to continue to monitor the
speed limit and vehicle speed, and to operate the
vehicle in a manner safe for the road conditions.
 Functionality may be limited or the system may not
work if the sensor is obstructed.
 The system may have limited operation or not work at
all in weather conditions such as heavy rain, hail, and
thick fog. Strong light contrasts can influence the
recognition capability of the sensor.
 The area surrounding the sensor must not be
covered with stickers or any other object.
 Do not tamper or perform any operations in the area
of the windshield glass directly surrounding the
sensor.
 Clean foreign matters such as bird droppings,
insects, snow or ice on the windshield. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching the
windshield.
HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
O
PERATION
The Highway Assist system (HAS) is combined with the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and centers the
vehicle in the driving lane while traveling at speeds up to
90 mph (145 km/h).
For ACC system operating instructions and system
limitations, see page 105.

CAUTION!
NOTE:
 The driver should always obey traffic laws and speed
limits. Never drive above applicable speed limit restric-
tions.
 The driver can override HAS at any time by braking,
accelerating, or steering the vehicle.
Just like ACC, HAS will maintain a set speed as long as the
set distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
is maintained. HAS will also keep your vehicle centered
between the lane lines, and monitor for other vehicles in
adjacent lanes by utilizing the Blind Spot Monitoring
sensors.
HAS uses sensors within the steering wheel to measure
driver attentiveness. HAS requires the driver's hands on
the steering wheel at all times. The system will generally
aim to keep the vehicle centered in the lane, but when the
driver turns the steering wheel (e.g. to move farther away
from a large vehicle in an adjacent lane) the system will
reduce its control and enter "co-steering" mode. While in
co-steering mode, the system will provide reduced
assistance and allow the driver to control the path of the
vehicle. Once the driver stops providing input to the
steering wheel, the system will require a few seconds to
fully resume lane centering assistance, especially during
curves.
