brake light JEEP COMPASS 2021 Owner handbook (in English)

(*) The actual interval for changing engine
oil and replacing the engine oil filter
depends on the vehicle usage conditions,
and is signaled by the warning light or
message in the instrument panel. In any
case, it must never exceed 12,000 miles
(20,000 km) or 1 year.
(**) Areas that are not dusty: recommended
maximum distance 75,000 mi
(120,000 km). The belt must be replaced
every 6 years, regardless of distance trav-
elled. Dusty areas and/or heavy conditions
(severe weather conditions, very low or very
high temperatures for extended periods,
urban driving, long periods of idling): the recommended maximum distance is
37,500 mi (60,000 km). The belt must be
replaced every 4 years, regardless of
distance travelled.
(***) The brake fluid change interval is time
based only, mileage intervals do not apply.
(°) Consumption of additive AdBlue®
(UREA) depends on the condition of use of
the vehicle and is indicated by LED and/or
message on the instrument panel.

WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Do only service
work for which you have the knowledge
and the right equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a compe-
tent mechanic.
Failure to properly inspect and maintain
your vehicle could result in a component
malfunction and effect vehicle handling
and performance. This could cause an
accident.

(Continued)
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent
loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to
ensure that engine coolant (antifreeze) will
return to the radiator from the coolant expan-
sion bottle/recovery tank if so equipped.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if
there is any accumulation of foreign material
on the sealing surfaces.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be
inspected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte -nance Plan” in this section for the proper
maintenance intervals.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid in the master cylinder should be
checked when performing under hood
services or immediately if the “Brake
Warning Light” is illuminated.
Be sure to clean the top of the master
cylinder area before removing the cap. If
necessary, add fluid to bring the fluid level
up to the requirements described on the
brake fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid
level can be expected to fall as the brake
pads wear. Brake fluid level should be
checked when pads are replaced. However,
low fluid level may be caused by a leak and
a checkup may be needed.
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants”
in “Technical Specifications” for further
information.
WARNING!
Do not open hot engine cooling system.
Never add engine coolant (antifreeze)
when the engine is overheated. Do not
loosen or remove the cap to cool an over
-
heated engine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not remove
the pressure cap while the system is hot
or under pressure.
Do not use a pressure cap other than the
one specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
can result in abnormally high brake
temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. You would not
have your full braking capacity in an
emergency. WARNING!
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubri -
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its
performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the original factory installed hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.
To avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture, use only new brake
fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly
closed container. Keep the master
cylinder reservoir cap secured at all
times. Brake fluid in a open container
absorbs moisture from the air resulting
in a lower boiling point. This may cause
it to boil unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in sudden
brake failure. This could result in a colli -
sion.

The suggested Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Tire
rotation method is the “forward cross” shown
in the following diagram. This rotation
pattern does not apply to some directional
tires that must not be reversed.Tire Rotation (Forward Cross)
The suggested Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Tire
rotation method is the “rearward cross”
shown in the following diagram.
Tire Rotation (Rearward Cross)
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for
more than a month, observe the following
precautions:
Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and
possibly airy location the windows open
slightly.
Check that the Electric Park Brake is not
engaged.
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from
the battery post and be sure that the
battery is fully charged. During storage
check battery charge quarterly.
If you do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check the battery
charge every 30 days.
Clean and protect the painted parts by
applying protective waxes.
Clean and protect polished metal parts by
applying protective waxes.
Apply talcum powder to the front and rear
wiper blades and leave raised from the
glass.
Cover the vehicle with an appropriate
cover taking care not to damage the
painted surface by dragging across dirty
surfaces. Do not use plastic sheeting
which will not allow the evaporation of
moisture present on the surface of the
vehicle.
Inflate the tires at a pressure of +7.25 psi
(+0.5 bar) higher than recommended on
the tire placard and check it periodically.
Do not drain the engine cooling system.
Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary
for two weeks or more, idle the engine for
approximately five minutes, with the air
conditioning system on and high fan
speed. This will ensure proper lubrication
of the system, thus minimizing the possi -
bility of damage to the compressor when
the vehicle is put back into operation.
CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive
vehicles depends on tires of equal size,
type and circumference on each wheel.
Any difference in tire size can cause
damage to the power transfer unit. Tire
rotation schedule should be followed to
balance tire wear.
