The headlights on a 2015 Jeep Compass four-wheel drive are controlled using the multifunction lever located on the left side of the steering column. The lever operates the headlights, passing lights, and fog lights. Additionally, the vehicle has a Lights-On Reminder chime if the headlights or parking lights are left on after the ignition is turned off and the driver’s door is opened.
