Jeep Compass
Model Overview
The Jeep Compass was this iconic SUV brand's first crossover model at its 2007 debut. Straddling the fuzzy border between compact and subcompact crossovers, it reinforces Jeep's upscale intentions, established by the larger Grand Cherokee and bolstered by Compass's well-done cabin. It also carries Jeep's long history of off-roading, boasting more cred in the rough stuff than any of its compact utility competition.

On certain vehicles, the owner's manual does not contain information concerning a higher risk of rollover and special features for occasional off-road operation. Canadian regulations in this area differ from those in the United States and thus Canadian vehicles are not out of compliance. However, the visor label does refer to the owner's manual for further higher risk rollover information, therefore, DaimlerChrysler will mail an addendum card for insertion into the owner's manual. A bilingual visor label will also be included as part of this mailing for use as required.
