(where provided)
HYBRID SYSTEM EQUIPMENT
Compass Plug-in hybrid is a P-HEV (Plug-
in Hybrid Electric Vehicle).
The car is equipped with:
in the front with the conventional heat
engine, to which is coupled an electric
motor that performs the function of
alternator;
in the rear with an electric motor
(powered by a high-voltage lithium ion
battery) on the rear axle, for motion
transmission.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The car can be charged with alternating
current (AC) using:
a domestic power socket. Charging via
the domestic power socket is permitted
with voltage values ranging from 100
to 230 Volts depending on the country
and depending on the charging cable
connected to the car (e.g. 110 Volts
cannot be charged via the 230 Volt
cable);
a domestic charging station (wallbox);
a public charging station.
Depending on the driving and operating
conditions of the car, the hybrid system
can move the car in electric only mode or
support the heat engine.
Thanks to the "e-Save" mode, the
heat engine can help to charge the
12
high-voltage battery or keep its state of
charge.
During operation in electric mode
("ELECTRIC") the car uses only the
electric motor for a certain distance as
long as the high-voltage battery permits
it.
For more information on the "e-SAVE"
and "ELECTRIC" operating modes, refer
to the "Operating Modes" chapter in this
section.
The high-voltage battery is also
charged during regenerative braking
("eBraking"/"eCoasting").
In purely electric driving mode the car
does not consume fuel, but uses the
energy stored in the high-voltage battery.
This is useful for quiet driving or for
access to urban areas where there are
special restrictions for cars equipped
with internal combustion engine only.
When operating in "HYBRID" mode, the
rear electric motor supports the heat
engine by reducing fuel consumption.
MOPAR , as an original accessory, offers
®
the wallbox charging station dedicated
to efficient car charging in a domestic
installation.
For more information on domestic
charging stations (wallbox) contact the
Jeep Dealership.

HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY

(Plug-in Hybrid version)

1) 2)
The car is equipped with a sealed high-
voltage lithium ion battery and has the
function of energy storage for the car.
The high-voltage battery is used to power
the electric motor and the car's 12 Volt
electrical system power source.
The high-voltage battery is partially
charged by recovering the kinetic energy
of the car during slowing down and
braking while driving. The high-voltage
battery can be completely charged only
by connecting the car to the electric
network using the charging socket.
For optimal use of the high-voltage
battery, it is advisable to charge the
car regularly using a suitable charging
device.
The high-voltage battery is located at the
bottom of the car in a central area and is
maintenance-free.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the
following benefits:
are much lighter than other types of
chargeable batteries of the same size;
keep the charge longer;
can be charged/discharged thousands
of times.
The high-voltage components on the car
are cooled by an auxiliary circuit located
inside the engine compartment (for
