Tire Pressure Monitor System (Tpms) - Jeep COMPASS 2017 User Manual

Near
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" set-
ting, allows the system to warn you of a
potential frontal collision when you are much
closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than
the "Far" setting, which allows for a more
dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want
to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
NOTE:
Changing the Active Braking status to "off"
prevents the system from providing autono-
mous braking, or additional brake support if
the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision. Active
braking can be turned "off" in the Uconnect
controls settings.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own,
nor can FCW detect every type of potential
collision. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the ve-
hicle via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to serious
injury or death.

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
based on the vehicle recommended cold
placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature
by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F
(6.5°C). This means that when the outside
temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
Manual on
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle
has not been driven for at least three hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a three
hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure
WARNING!
must not exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure molded into the tire sidewall. Refer to
"Tires" in "Servicing And Maintenance" for
information on how to properly inflate the
vehicle's tires. The tire pressure will also
increase as the vehicle is driven. This is
normal and there should be no adjustment for
this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire
pressure if the tire pressure falls below the
low-pressure warning limit for any reason,
including low temperature effects and natu-
ral pressure loss through the tire. The TPMS
will continue to warn the driver of low tire
pressure as long as the condition exists, and
will not turn off until the tire pressure is at or
above the recommended cold placard pres-
sure.
NOTE:
Once the low tire pressure warning (Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light) illuminates,
you must increase the tire pressure to the
recommended cold placard pressure in order
for the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light" to turn off.
