Jeep Compass (2019 year). Instruction - part 3

To Unlock From The Passenger Side

With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
passenger door handle, grab the front passenger door
handle to unlock all four doors and the liftgate automati-
cally.

NOTE:

All doors will unlock when the front passenger

door handle is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door
unlock preference setting (“Unlock Driver Door 1st Press”
or “Unlock All Doors 1st Press”).

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry Key
Fob In Vehicle (FOBIK-Safe)

To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive Entry
system is equipped with an automatic door unlock feature
which will function if the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.

FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with passive entry.
There are three situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe search
in any passive entry vehicle:
• A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry key fob

while a door is open.

• A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door handle

while a door is open.

• A lock request is made by the door panel switch while

the door is open.

When any of these situations occur, after all open doors are
shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it finds a
Passive Entry key fob inside the car and it does not find
any Passive Entry key fobs outside the car, then the car will
unlock and alert the customer.

NOTE:

The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid

Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the vehicle. The
vehicle will not unlock the doors when any of the follow-
ing conditions are true:
• The doors are manually locked using the door lock

knobs.

• There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the vehicle

and within 5 ft (1.5m) of either Passive Entry door
handle.

• Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the

door panel switch and then close the doors.

To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate

The liftgate passive entry unlock feature is built into
liftgate handle release. With a valid Passive Entry key fob
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the electronic liftgate
release to open with one fluid motion.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

To Lock The Liftgate

With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
liftgate, push the passive entry lock button located to the
right of liftgate handle release.

NOTE:

The liftgate passive entry lock button will lock all

doors and the liftgate. The liftgate unlock feature is built
into the electronic liftgate release.

To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate

With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver or passenger front door handles, push
the passive entry lock button located on the outside door
handle, to lock the vehicle doors and liftgate.

NOTE:

DO NOT grab the door handle, when pushing the

door handle lock button. This could unlock the door(s).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle button, you must wait

two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors,
using either Passive Entry door handle. This is done to
allow you to check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the
door handle without the vehicle reacting and unlocking.

• If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect System,

the key protection described in

⬙Preventing Inadvertent

Locking of Passive Entry key fob in Vehicle

⬙ remains

active/functional.

• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob

battery is dead.

The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the lock
button located on the vehicle’s interior door panel.

Fold-Forward Front Passenger Seat — If Equipped

This feature allows for extended cargo space. When the
seat is folded flat, it is an extension of the load floor surface
(allowing long cargo to fit from the rear hatch up to the
instrument panel). The fold-forward seat back has a soft-
back surface that you cannot use as a work surface when
the seat is folded forward and the vehicle is not in motion.

Pull upward on the recline lever to fold or unfold the seat.

NOTE:

You may experience deformation in the seat cush-

ion from the seat belt buckles if the seats are left folded for
an extended period of time. This is normal and by simply
opening the seats to the open position, over time the seat
cushion will return to its normal shape.

WARNING!

Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dan-
gerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause
you to lose control. Adjust any seat only while the
vehicle is parked.

Manual Adjustment (Rear Seats)

WARNING!

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.

60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With Fold-Flat Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be
folded flat. This allows for extended cargo space and still
maintains some rear seating room.

NOTE:

Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be necessary to

position the front seat to its mid-track position. Also, be
sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned
forward. This will allow the rear seat to fold down easily.

WARNING!

• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.

• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your

To Raise The Rear Seat

NOTE:

If interference from the cargo area prevents the

seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty return-
ing the seat to its proper position.

Raise the seatback and lock it into place.

The release lever will show a red indicator while in the
unlocked position. Once the seat is locked in, the red
indicator will no longer be visible.

WARNING!

Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into
position. If the seatback is not securely locked into
position the seat will not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
