2023–2026 Jeep Compass FAQ
How do I turn on the headlights or parking lights?
2025–2026
Turn the headlight switch clockwise to detent one for parking lights, or detent two for headlights, parking lights and instrument panel lights.
Page 67 in the 2026 manual →2024
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel for high beams, or pull it back for low beams.
Page 40 in the 2024 manual →2023
If either turn-signal indicator flashes rapidly, check for an inoperative outside light bulb; a chime sounds after driving more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with a signal on.
Page 89 in the 2023 manual →How do I switch between low and high beams?
2025–2026
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel for high beams, or pull it back for low beams.
Page 68 in the 2026 manual →2024
If equipped, turn on the parking lights or low beams, then push the fog-light button; push it again or turn off the headlights to switch them off.
Fog lights operate with low beams or parking lights, but selecting high beams turns them off; an instrument-cluster indicator shows when they are on.
Page 41 in the 2024 manual →2023
With the low beams on, push the multifunction lever forward to turn on the high beams, pull it rearward to turn them off, or pull it toward you briefly to flash them.
Page 90 in the 2023 manual →How do I check the transmission fluid level?
2025–2026
Routine checks are not required because the transmission has no dipstick; an authorized dealer must use special service tools to check it.
If you notice a leak or transmission malfunction, visit an authorized dealer immediately because an improper fluid level can cause severe transmission damage.
Page 209 in the 2026 manual →2024
Routine fluid and filter changes are not required under normal conditions, but change both if the fluid becomes contaminated or the transmission is disassembled.
Page 225 in the 2024 manual →2023
Under normal operating conditions, the factory-installed fluid provides lubrication for the vehicle's life, so routine fluid and filter changes are not required.
Change both if the fluid becomes contaminated, including with water, or if the transmission is disassembled for any reason.
Page 249 in the 2023 manual →Does the transmission need routine fluid and filter changes?
2025–2026
No; under normal operating conditions, routine fluid and filter changes are not required because the factory fluid is designed to lubricate the vehicle for its life.
Change the fluid and filter if the fluid becomes contaminated or if the transmission is disassembled for any reason.
Page 209 in the 2026 manual →2023
You do not need routine checks because the transmission has no dipstick; an authorized dealer checks its level with special service tools.
If fluid leaks or the transmission malfunctions, go to an authorized dealer immediately; driving with an incorrect level may severely damage the transmission.
Page 249 in the 2023 manual →How does the vehicle tell me an oil change is due?
2025–2026
The instrument cluster displays “Oil Change Due” for five seconds after a chime, and the interval can vary with your driving.
Page 85 in the 2026 manual →2023
- After scheduled maintenance, do not press the brake; press ENGINE START/STOP and select ON/RUN without starting the engine.
- Slowly fully press the accelerator pedal three times within ten seconds.
- Cycle the ignition to OFF.
- If the message appears at startup, the reset failed; repeat the procedure if necessary.
What does the Vehicle Security Light mean?
2024
The light turns on for three seconds after ON/RUN as a bulb check; if it remains on, the vehicle electronics have a problem.
If it flashes after the check, an invalid key fob was used; if it turns on during operation longer than 10 seconds, have the vehicle serviced promptly by an authorized dealer.
Page 18 in the 2024 manual →What maintenance checks should I make monthly or before a long trip?
2024
- Check the engine oil and windshield washer fluid levels.
- Check tire inflation, look for unusual wear or damage, and rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear.
- Check the coolant reservoir and brake master cylinder reservoir, and fill them as needed.
- Check that all interior and exterior lights function properly.
How do I replace the cabin air filter?
2023
Have an authorized dealer service the cabin air filter and replace it when needed; it filters dust and pollen from climate-control air.
Page 53 in the 2023 manual →What should I do if the Brake Warning Light flashes during sharp cornering?
2023
Have the vehicle serviced and the brake fluid level checked, because sharp cornering can temporarily change fluid-level conditions.
