4WD mastery and leadership — it has always been at the core of the Jeep® brand. For light off-road capability, the Freedom Drive I™ active full-time 4WD is designed to give drivers year-round assurance, as well as the ability to handle rough weather and low-traction conditions such as rain and snow. Freedom-Drive I™ features an Electromagnetic Controlled Coupling (ECC), which constantly monitors wheel slippage and transfers torque to the axle that can use it most.
Drive without boundaries and rule the terrain with efficient power and control with the Compass' efficient 2.4-litre DOHC 16 CVT engine, pushing 172 hp and achieving an estimate 26 mpg (41.6 kmph).
Compass's improved ride quality comes by way of a retuned suspension with higher spring and damping rates, added rebound springs, and a larger rear sway bar. Compass's four-wheel independent suspension does what you command, when you command it.
A new retuned four-wheel independent MacPherson strut front and multilink independent rear suspensions, higher spring and damping rates, added rebound springs and larger sway bar deliver a much improved ride for 2011.
Standard Hill Start Assist helps you when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill by maintaining the level of brake pressure applied for a short period after the driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal. If throttle is not applied within a short period after the driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal, brake pressure will be released.

Keeping you and your passenger's safe in the event of an accident is very important to us. Compass is designed to help protect you from the frame up with more than 30 safety and security features including: advanced multistage front airbags that adjust airbag output to crash severity; supplemental side-curtain front and rear airbags offer side protection for all of the outboard occupants; and available supplemental front seat-mounted side airbags.
Compass's overall strength is the sum of its components: engineered crush zones divert and dissipate impact energy away from the passenger compartment; safety cage structure and front crumple zones absorb energy during a front impact; door guard beams help protect occupants during side impact; ultra high-strength roll-formed steel crossbeam helps transfer side-impact energy from one side of the car to the other; and new front seat active head restraints.
During extreme steering maneuvers the electronic stability control[1] helps you maintain control. The system senses wheel slippage and responds automatically to help you gain control. When you don't want the extra hand, the system can be switched off. Other accident avoidance features include: antilock brake system with a unique rough road detection system; all-speed traction control, which applies brakes and transfers torque where needed; brake assist system, which applies maximum braking power during panic braking; and a four-wheel drive system.
The remote keyless entry fob controls door and tailgate locks, and includes a panic alarm, putting both convenience and security at your fingertips. The Sentry Key® engine immobilizer prevents your Jeep® Compass from being started without your key.
