Its ability to take it all in stride is what encourages you to head out. This is the 2008 Jeep® Compass. From standard safety systems to an available four-wheel-drive system, every element of Compass has been fortified with the kind of know-how that has set Jeep vehicles apart for over 65 years. Its 2.4L dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) World Engine sets itself apart with 172 horsepower and outstanding efficiency. The available Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle (CVT2) with AutoStick even allows for either fully automatic or clutchless manual shifting. At every corner, Compass’s level of ingenuity, confidence and balance is all but unmatched. Equip Compass with the available Freedom-Drive ITM four-wheel-drive system with LOCK Mode and it will be immediately evident why this system carries such an empowering name. It is designed to give drivers year-round assurance as well as the ability to handle rough weather and low- traction conditions. The ultra-high-strength steel cross-car beam provides a confidence all its own, fortifying the backbone of every Compass. jeep.com/compass JEEP® COMPASS 5 SAFETY AND SECURITY TO SERVE AND PROTECT This is a new standard of safety and security. From standard supplemental side-curtain air bags(1) to standard Electronic Stability Program(2) (ESP) with Electronic Roll Mitigation that assists a driver in maintaining an intended course, Jeep ® Compass is loaded with brilliant safety and security advancements as standard equipment. Electronic Roll Mitigation uses braking to help ensure that all four wheels remain in contact with the road. Brake Assist applies maximum hydraulic pressure when a panic braking situation is detected. Standard traction control helps manage power, providing maximum traction and minimum slippage. The antilock brake system (ABS) features a 4WD calibration to compensate for unpaved surfaces. This level of standard safety and security is anything but standard. While features like standard advanced front and supple mental side-curtain air bags(1) provide passive safety, the available Tire Pressure Moni toring Display provides data that can help you avoid accidents. SAFETY & SECURITY STANDARD Standard Advanced Multistage Front Air Bags and Supplemental Side-Curtain Air Bags Antilock Brake System (ABS) Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Traction Control Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Lamp Sentry Key® Theft Deterrent System AVAILABLE Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Supplemental Front-Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (1) Always use seat belts. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correctly using an infant or child restraint system, or the seat belt positioned correctly for the child’s age and size. Air bags shown deployed for illustrative purposes only. (2)No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt. 6 JEEP® COMPASS jeep.com/compass JEEP® COMPASS LIMITED SHOWN IN BRIGHT SILVER METALLIC JEEP® COMPASS LIMITED SHOWN IN INFERNO RED CRYSTAL PEARL CAPABILITY READY, WILLING AND CAPABLE TM Jeep® Compass stands with a sure-footed stance for good reason. The available Freedom-Drive I active full-time four-wheel-drive (4WD) system features an Electromagnetic Controlled Coupling (ECC), which constantly monitors wheel slippage and transfers torque to the axle that can use it most. During high-traction driving, like on the highway, the system transfers virtually no torque to the rear axle for improved fuel economy(1) but instantly transfers torque to the rear wheels when conditions call for it. A four-wheel independent suspension, with MacPherson struts up front and a multilink system in the rear, also works to ensure that contact with the road is constantly kept. After all, Compass is a Jeep® vehicle and, like the entire family, it takes the ability to acclimate to most conditions it encounters as a birthright. Four-wheel-drive Compass models feature 4WD LOCK — for maximum traction in the most adverse conditions. It is activated by lifting a chromed T-bar handle in the console. Front-wheel-drive Compass still benefits from a MacPherson strut/multilink suspension Compass’s electronic coupling modulates when with the traction and agility such a turning on a dry road in 4WD LOCK mode to help combination provides. prevent noise.

Optional liftgate speakers transform a Compass liftgate into a veritable speaker stand, poised to push 458 watts of power through a 9-speaker Premium Sound Group with Boston Acoustics® speakers, which also includes SIRIUS® Satellite Radio and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls (both standard on Limited). Even Compass’s cargo light is complemented with an available removable and rechargeable LED flashlight. Compass features were designed for fun, from the available sunroof to SIRIUS Satellite Radio with over 130 channels, including 100% commercial-free music, sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather. Factory-installed SIRIUS Satellite Radio includes a one-year subscription. For more information, go to sirius.com. This vehicle creates a playground all its own.

The standard center console features a sliding storage armrest with a rubber-lined lid panel that flips forward to cradle an MP3 player or mobile phone — and snugly at that. 10 JEEP® COMPASS jeep.com/compass JEEP® COMPASS LIMITED SHOWN IN SUNBURST ORANGE PEARL JEEP® COMPASS SPORT SHOWN IN SURF BLUE PEARL POWER PASS TRAFFIC. AND THE PUMP The most impressive needle on the Jeep® Compass is the one on the fuel gauge. Why? Because even as its 2.4L DOHC VVT World Engine delivers 172 horsepower, it achieves an EPA estimated highway rating of 28 mpg.(1) Whether displacing 2.4L or 2.0L, these transversely mounted technological masterpieces employ dual overhead cams (DOHC) and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. The electronically controlled timing is continuously adjusted to provide either maximum power or optimal fuel efficiency(1) — depending on the demands of that instant. Simply put: simply smart. This 2.4L DOHC VVT pit bull puts out nearly six cylinders worth of horse power from its
