Opening; Closing; Wind Buffeting; Sunshade Operation - Jeep Compass Operating Information Manual

WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children. Occu-
pants, particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sun-
roof. You could also be seriously injured or
killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly
and make sure all passengers are properly
secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through
the sunroof opening. Injury may result.

Opening

Opening Sunroof — Express
Push the switch rearward and release it within
one-half second. The sunroof and sunshade will
open automatically and stop when the full open
position is reached. This is called "Express
Open." During Express Open operation, any
other actuation of the sunroof switch will stop
the sunroof.

Opening Sunroof — Manual Mode
To open the sunroof, push and hold the switch
rearward. Sunroof will move rearward and auto-
matically stop at full open position. Any release
of the switch will stop the movement. The sun-
roof and sunshade will remain in a partially
opened condition until the sunroof switch is
pushed again.
Venting Sunroof — Express
Push and release the Vent button within one half
second and the sunroof will open to the vent
position. This is called "Express Vent", and it will
occur regardless of sunroof position. During
Express Vent operation, any other actuation of
the switch will stop the sunroof.

Closing

Closing Sunroof — Express
Push the switch forward and release it within
one-half second and the sunroof will close au-
tomatically from any position. The sunroof will
close fully and stop automatically. This is called
"Express Close." During Express Close opera-
tion, any other actuation of the switch will stop
the sunroof.
Closing Sunroof — Manual Mode
To close the sunroof, push and hold the switch
forward. Sunroof will move forward and auto-
matically stop at full closed position. Any release
of the switch will stop the movement and the
sunroof will remain in a partially closed condition
until the sunroof switch is pushed again.

Wind Buffeting

Wind buffeting can be described as the percep-
tion of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type
sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind
buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof
(if equipped) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can
be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear windows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.

Sunshade Operation

The sunshade can be opened manually. How-
ever, the sunshade will open automatically as
the sunroof opens.
NOTE:
The sunshade cannot be closed if the sun-
roof is open.

Pinch Protect Feature

This feature will detect an obstruction in the
opening of the sunroof during Express Close
operation. If an obstruction in the path of the
sunroof is detected, the sunroof will automati-
cally retract. Remove the obstruction if this
occurs. Next, push the switch forward and re-
lease to Express Close.

Sunroof Maintenance

Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth
to clean the glass panel.
