I have been pushing them to make the delivery before Diwali but seems impossible now. Given that there are another 4 days of holiday here, my delivery will get delayed to next week despite me clearing all the payments (Bank delayed their disbursement though).

Mine is WB26 registration, but it was very quick. They paid the tax the same day I made the full payment. And the HSRP was installed within 4-5 working days.

Just to increase your longing, attaching a pic ...this is near Ramgarh, Uttarakhand.

Hello Guys,

I got the delivery of my Jeep Compass on 29th October 2021. The delivery experience was alright, the dealer did not provide any demo, and the car was not properly washed.

They requested to sign me on a PDI form. There was no sign from the dealer on the form, and no checkboxes were ticked. However, as I was getting late, I didn't bother to remind the sales representative again for the demo and signed the PDI form. Later on, I realized that it was foolish to sign that form, and I could have denied it.


I am planning to go for a 500 KM trip this coming Wednesday. I have some queries regarding:

1) Is there any way to know the status of Adblue? Like checking the status from MID?
2) Does the auto start/stop feature puts a load on the battery? I am asking this because, by default, the headlamps remain on when the engine switch off at night.
3) The dealer told me that slush mats are no longer available by Jeep, and hence they gave me fabric mats. Is that correct?
4) How do I know that the vehicle is up to date? The infotainment shows the android version as 8.1.0.
I checked https://www.driveuconnect.com/suppor...re-update.html, which show that the system is updated.

First of all congratulations!!

1. Yes the Adblue or DEF status is available in the menus. You can scroll through the up arrow keys on the left side of the steering wheel, then in one of the options where you get the coolant temp etc. you need to use the right scroll arrow.
2. Maybe, because I've seen the battery level a bit down after start stop drives (this also you can find using point 1). Not fully sure, though.
3. Maybe a local dealer issue.
4. I have the same version as well now. On the first day after I had configured the system, there was an update. Not sure about the initial version.

I am sure you'll enjoy the 500km drive. As I mentioned before, I've done 3500km in the last 3 weeks and absolutely loved it. There are a few issues I noted, which I'll put up in a detailed post, but nothing major to worry about.

Has any one come across any DCT issues with Compass. I have booked 1.4 DCT Limited for delivery by Nov mid.

2017-21 is a fairly good time, for issues to pop up. Surprisingly, I wasn't able to find any.

Is it really since DCT of Jeep is reliable or very few Jeep DCTs on road?

Hey Abhishek.
When i had got my car the Ad blu was at 80%. Dont think you will face an issue with a 500 Km trip. But if possible pick up a velvex Ad Blue container and keep it in the car to be on the safe side. This is the same one that the Jeep service station uses in our cars as well.

On the car mats part might be an issue in Ahmedabad. When i had received the car last month i had received the car with slush mats

Regards,
Abhishek

That is fantastic to hear. I see you already drove north into the mountains. I may not be as enthusiastic as you are at the moment. However, I am planning to do a drive up to my hometown in December. I am already in love with the way the car handles my style of driving. The way it handles the rough roads is awesome to experience. Looking forward to a smile for each mile with this beauty.

Hi Pancham,

PFA herewith the photos of the slush mats that were provided by Jeep itself.

Thank you, Arnab, I checked the Adblue status, and it is around 80%.

Thank you, Abhishek, I will check for velvex Ad Blue container. Regarding mats, I believe I will have to go for a slush mat sooner or later. As per my dealer, they are no longer available in Jeep so they provided me carpet mat (not sure what it is called). I will try to post a pic soon


The rattling noise from my compass has already started

I know pictures don't always show the complexity involved. But trust me, there was no road when I drove. They recently pour sand there, but when I did the TD, there was nothing, just loose gravel, rocks and of course mud...

Did you go with the other Compasses from Kolkata?

No it was as a solo trip.

Is there a group where I can be added?

Fully agree that many times pictures could mask the reality, this looks like proper offroad trail. Good to know the capability of Compass, wish you many exciting offroading as well.

An update: Yesterday, I got a message from Vahaan that payment has been made for the RTO charges. However, I don't think they will deliver the car today despite making multiple requests for a pre-Diwali delivery. I am told the dealership will receive the registration number after 2:30pm post which it might be difficult for them to deliver.

Maybe they already have a lot of deliveries lined up or they want to take it easy before Diwali. Nevertheless, I should get the car by Friday. Fingers crossed.
