Setting The Following Distance In Acc - Jeep COMPASS 2019 User Manual

To Decrease Speed
While ACC is set, the set speed can be de-
creased by pushing the SET (-) button.
The driver's preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" in your Owner's Manual
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
subsequent 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
subsequent tap of the button results in a
decrease 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 decel-
erate, if the engine's braking power does
not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach
the set speed, the brake system will auto-
matically 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 oc-
cur while climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation and nec-
essary to maintain set speed. When driving
up hill and down hill, the ACC system will
cancel if the braking temperature exceeds
normal range (overheated).

Setting The Following Distance In ACC

The specified following distance for ACC can
be set by varying the distance setting be-
tween four bars (longest), three bars (long),

ACC calculates and sets the distance to the
vehicle ahead. This distance setting will show
in the instrument cluster display.
To increase the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting — Increase button and re-
