5 Innovative Safety Features of the 2024 Jeep Compass

Cruising in a Silver 2024 Jeep Compass near St. Paul, MN

Jeep vehicles are loaded with impressive technology, from off-roading tech to advanced safety and security features. We're going to explore the latter so you can see just how safe the 2024 Jeep Compass truly is before you take it out for a test drive.

1. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking

Your Jeep Compass has radar sensors on the front of it. These sensors can tell when you're approaching the car in front of you too quickly. Your vehicle will send you an alert so you can slow down or come to a complete stop. If your Compass detects that you may get into a collision, and you don't respond in time, then it'll apply the brakes and try to prevent the collision from happening.

2. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection

If a vehicle travels into one of your blind spots, then your Compass will detect it and send you an alert to make sure you know it's there. The regular blind spot monitoring occurs during normal daily driving, but there's also a function that activates specifically when backing up. The cross path detection feature sends you an alert so you're aware of obstacles and vehicles that could get in your way behind you or to the side of your vehicle as you reverse.

3. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go

Adaptive cruise control brings a mixture of convenience and safety to any long journey. You can preselect a distance that you'd like to keep from the car ahead of you, then cruise control will take care of adjusting your speed to maintain that distance.

4. Active Lane Management

It's important to have a good, centered position within the boundaries of your lane, and that's what Active Lane Management takes care of. It can detect when you unintentionally drift too close to the boundaries of your lane, and it'll send you an alert when it detects that.

If needed, it can also help correct your vehicle's position. Plus, if there's a vehicle in one of your blind spots that you might collide with, then the Active Lane Management can apply corrective steering to help keep you safe in those situations, too.

5. Drowsy Driver Detection

It can be difficult to stay completely alert during long journeys, especially if you've been driving for many hours, and it's getting late. Drowsy Driver Detection is an available feature that lets your car track your interaction with the vehicle. It identifies drowsiness in the driver and sends you an alert to keep you focused.

Do those safety features sound like something you want in your next vehicle? Come to Fury Motors St Paul CDJR in St Paul, MN to explore everything else the Compass has to offer.

5 Favorite Features of the 2024 Jeep Compass

1. Powerful Turbo Engine Every Jeep Compass has a potent 2.0 L four-cylinder turbo engine at its heart, delivering best-in-class standard power and torque of 200 hp and 221 lb-ft. This engine enables an impressive towing capacity of 2,000 lbs, providing ample scope for trailering outdoor sports or camping equipment, for example. All Compasses have an 8-speed automatic transmission. 2. Jeep Active Drive 4x4 System The Active Drive 4x4 System in the Jeep Compass seamlessly switches from 2WD to 4x4 based on driving conditions. This intelligent system automatically engages the rear axle when extra traction is needed, enhancing stability and performance. The Compass operates as a 2WD vehicle during regular driving to maximize fuel efficiency. The Jeep Compass Trailhawk is equipped with the Active Drive Low 4x4 system, which uses low-range gearing to achieve a 20:1 crawl ratio for tackling challenging terrain. 3. Jeep Selec-Terrain Driving Modes The Jeep Compass comes with the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, which provides Auto, Snow, and Sand/Mud driving modes across all models. These driving modes alter the vehicle's driving dynamics, such as throttle response, torque distribution, and steering, to better accommodate different driving surfaces and conditions. A Rock mode is added to the Trailhawk trim. When engaged, this mode locks the axles, evenly distributes torque, and lets the driver overcome significant obstacles at very low speeds using maximum traction to prevent slipping. It also employs the Hill Descent Control system, enhancing the vehicle's capability over demanding terrain. 4. Safety and Security Systems Known as "driver assistance" technologies or similar among other brands, the Jeep Compass comes with a great set of standard safety technologies. These include Drowsy Driver Detection, Hill Start Assist, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Active Lane Management (checks for safety of lane changes), Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, and others. Jeep's "Active Driver Assist System" (ADA) does not refer to the suite of safety features mentioned above. Available on Limited and Trailhawk trims, this technology keeps the Compass centered in marked lanes while simultaneously controlling the distance to vehicles ahead. 5. Jeep Uconnect 5 Infotainment System The Uconnect 5 Infotainment system in the Compass is channeled through a large 10.1" touchscreen and lets you easily connect to your favorite music or navigation apps, as well as the Jeep app that includes invaluable roadside assistance and security services.
