Jeep compass 2017 - CONTROLS AND FEATURES

Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever controls the opera-
tion of the turn signals, headlight beam se-
lection and passing lights. The multifunction
lever is located on the left side of the steering
column.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display flash to show proper operation
of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does not
flash, or there is a very fast flash rate,
check for a defective outside light bulb. If
an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator
bulb is defective.
• A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in
the instrument cluster display and a con-
tinuous chime will sound if the vehicle is
driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with
either turn signal on.
• When the Daytime Running Lights are on
and a turn signal is activated, the Daytime
Running Lamp will turn off on the side of
the vehicle in which the turn signal is
flashing. The Daytime Running Lamp will
turn back on when the turn signal is turned
off.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without mov-
ing beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then
automatically turn off.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
The interior lights come on when a door is
opened. The light switches in the overhead
console are for reading lamps.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will
turn off automatically 15 minutes after the
ignition is moved to the LOCK position. This
will occur if the interior lights were switched
on manually or are on because a door is open.
This includes the glove box light and the
cargo area light. To restore interior light op-
eration, either place the ignition in the ON/
RUN position or cycle the light switch.
Instrument Panel Dimmer Control
The instrument panel dimmer control is part
of the headlight switch and is located on the
drivers side of the instrument panel.
