Jeep Compass, Owner'S Handbook Manual

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time that instructions relating to the vehicle are provided (left/right or forward/rearward), these should be understood as referring to an occupant
in the driver seat. If a direction is written from a different perspective, it will be specified as such in the text as appropriate.
The figures that appear in the manual are used as a guide: this may mean that some of the details shown in the picture do not match those on your
vehicle. Furthermore, the manual has been designed based on vehicles with the steering wheel on the left; therefore it is possible that, on vehicles
with the steering wheel on the right, some controls will be arranged or designed differently in comparison with what is shown here.
To identify the section with the information needed you can consult the alphabetical table of content at the end of this Owner Handbook.
The sections themselves are quickly identifiable by means of a specific graphic tab at the edge of all the odd-numbered pages. On one of the next few
pages, you will find a key that will help you to familiarize yourself with the order of the sections and the corresponding symbols in the tabs. However,
you will find a textual reference to the section at the edge of all the even-numbered pages.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
When reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of
WARNINGS
designed to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.
It also contains CAUTIONS which should be followed carefully to avoid inappropriate use of the vehicle's components, which could cause collisions or
injuries.
Therefore it is important to carefully observe all the recommended
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS .
The WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are represented throughout the text by symbols:
For personal safety
For vehicle integrity
For environmental protection
NOTE These symbols, where required, are shown next to the title or at the end of the paragraph and are followed by a number. That number recalls the
corresponding warning at the end of the relevant chapter.
