To Vary The Speed Setting - Jeep Compass 2018 Owner's Manual

To Vary The Speed Setting

To Increase Speed
While ACC is set, you can increase the set
speed by pushing the SET (+) button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to " Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for more information. The
speed increment shown is dependant on the
chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric
(km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET (+) button once will result in
a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the button results in an increase
of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to increase in 5 mph
increments until the button is released. The
increase in set speed is reflected in the
instrument cluster display.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET (+) button once will result in
a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the button results in an increase
of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to increase in 10 km/h
increments until the button is released. The
increase in set speed is reflected in the
instrument cluster display.
To Decrease Speed
While ACC is set, the set speed can be de-
creased by pushing the SET (-) button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to " Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for more information. The
speed decrement shown is dependant on the
chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric
(km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in
a 1 mph decrease in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the button results in a decrease
of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph
decrements until the button is released. The
decrease in set speed is reflected in the
instrument cluster display.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in
a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each sub-
sequent tap of the button results in a de-
crease of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to decrease in 10 km/h
decrements until the button is released. The
decrease in set speed is reflected in the
instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
• When you override and push the SET (+)
button or SET (-) buttons, the new set speed
will be the current speed of the vehicle.
• When you use the SET (-) button to deceler-
ate, if the engine's braking power does not
slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set
speed, the brake system will automatically
slow the vehicle.
• If equipped with a manual transmission, the
ACC system applies the brake down to
15 mph (24 km/h) when following a target
vehicle.
• If equipped with a automatic transmission,
The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to a
full stop when following a target vehicle. If an
ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle to a
standstill, after two seconds the driver will
either have to push the RES (resume) button,
or apply the accelerator pedal to reengage
the ACC to the existing set speed.
• The ACC system maintains set speed when
driving up hill and down hill. However, a slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal. In
addition, downshifting may occur while climb-
ing uphill or descending downhill. This is
normal operation and necessary to maintain
set speed. When driving up hill and down hill,
the ACC system will cancel if the braking
temperature exceeds normal
(overheated).
