I should not have accepted it as I don't drive so much and it is a pain to stock them.

The MID screen shows the level of the fluid as well. I check for the same once a month & top up accordingly.

Is it ok to use the leftover AdBlue fluid?

What I have heard from the service center is if a bottle or can of AdBlue is opened, it is better to finish it or if there is leftover then it is not advised to use it.

You are right. I should have known. I read the instructions on the can after I had poured it into the tank :Frustrati! However, worried that I might have messed up, I called the service advisor and he told me that unless it has crystalized, it should be fine to use the remainder of the stuff.

So, back from a road trip: the route being - Noida - Jaipur - Jodhpur - Jaisalmer - Tanot + 20kms (India - Pak Border) - Longewala - Jaisalmer - Jaipur - Noida.

The mannerism and drivability of the car has been the talking point amongst us - impressive. Felt no fatigue or tiredness even after a non-stop drive of about 450kms (between Jaisalmer & Jaipur).

Eventually figured out the best way to drive this beast: maintaining a steady pace (be it 80 or 100) with minimal acceleration inputs - it will return a decent mileage.

The AdBlue level is at around 60% with 2855KMs on the ODO.

Has anyone tried wireless phone charging on model S?

I couldn't charge my iphone 12. Initially when I place the phone on the charging pad, it recognizes the phone, charges the phone for a second (light turns green), and then stops (light turns red and stays like that).

I've tried the usual tricks like cleaning the dust off the phone, removing the case, and even updated the iOS to latest version (15.2)

I suggest you have a word with service centre once and see if they can provide any solution to it.

Blue beast comes home. Finally my heart won over my head and I got this tank 5 days back (Model S Diesel AT). Yes, I call it a tank because it's build quality is just exceptional. The overall feel inside out is just so premium and robust. This machine is build to last.
Till now I only drove it for 150KMs. Will plan for long drive soon. Thankfully I have not faced any rattles till now and hope it stays this way. There is bit of lag till 30-40 speed but after that it just glides over any kind of surface you throw at it. Really enjoying my drive and will soon post my ownership experience.

Update on accessories: Finally, I managed to find the slush boot mats. The Gurgaon Landmark showroom had them in stock. Went and picked them up. Cost: INR 5400/-.

Can anyone refer a good Service advisor in Jeep Landmark Gurgaon service center? I am planning to visit them tomorrow and I need to check a couple of things with them before I embark on the 30km round trip.

Thank you! Regarding BH series, I’m actually trying to get my car via BH series from Delhi. Here the RTO is asking for Form 60 and gst registration certificates for 4 different offices of my company. I’ve raised a request with my company for the certificate

My green dynamite came this month with the BH number from Delhi. Its a S model Petrol. They asked for a employment letter mentioning job profile and stating that offices are in more than 4 states. Plus they needed gst certificates from 4 states to verify the same. Took 3 days to generate the number. First online application, then physical paper submission. All handled by the dealer. 1 day delay was because I had to get the employment letter again since it stated that the job profile is project director in an IT company and as per them if the profile mentions director it must mean company director and then your name should appear in gst certificates. I tried to explain that project director does not mean company director but it was like banging your head against the wall. :Frustrati Finally got a new employment letter mentioning changed profile and got the number next day.

Will be sharing photos and my experience soon. Its already done 1000 kms and am loving it.

Two updates in one day. Went ahead and got the extended warranty. The car has not yet crossed the 60 day mark. So got it for INR 40k. Ujjwal, at the Gurgaon workshop, was helpful. Received the certificate on email and WhatsApp. Very prompt.

It is quite a harrowing experience for sure however. With 2 under 10 kids can't imagine the situation had they been on a highway run.

Btw, was this in Mumbai? And what variant was it?

UPDATE: The service centre said the ground wire has come loose. That's all the feedback that was received. No mention why this would've happened in a brand new car.

The car is working fine now.

Hi folks
I got a Jeep Compass Petrol AT limited edition sometime back. One of the challenges I am having is with the Uconnect system. Everytime I switch off the vehicle and start it again after sometime, I have to pair the phone again manually for Apple CarPlay. Is something wrong with the settings ? Can someone point to a resolution for this issue ?
Cheers

I'm having similar issue in my new compass D MT. Raised it with both Service center and Jeep India, and they tried to upgrade the UConnect version. However, the issue got changed to intermittent disconnection of Bluetooth/Apple Car Play. Now they are asking to leave the car in the service center to take the system logs from Uconnect and then to decide whether to get software fix or replacement of hardware.

Hey,

I have a Nov 21 Jeep Compass S 4x4 AT purchased from Landmark Jeep (Andheri, Mumbai).

1> I've driven the car - Mumbai to Goa and got an average of 11 km/l.
In the city I am getting 6.5 - 7 km/l
The car has done 1,100 kms till date.

2> The Auto Start/Stop Engine works randomly.

3> The ORVM don't close everytime I lock the car (it has already been enabled under settings).

4> Today the radiator fan was on for over 15 mins after shutting down and locking the car.
I had to get back in the car and hit the brake pedal a couple of times and thats what shut down the radiator fan.

Would like some feedback from other Jeep Compass owners. These problems are worrying me as I've just taken delivery of the car in November!

The Customer Service Advisor (Car Service) is of no use, they have not called me back since over 2 weeks now.

Thanks,
Ashwin

I have a Nov 21 Diesel AT too. No. 2 and 4 are normal. I have faced no. 4 once when the radiator fan kept running for sometime. But that was once. Does it happen every time for you? You can get it checked at the 5k service if it is a frequent phenomena.

FE should improve a bit but dont expect a lot. It should hover around 7-8 KMPL if you drive bumper to bumper.

For no. 2, if you have the AC on, the system will make sure that the cabin temperature is at least below the outside temp. There are few other conditions too. I usually switch it off the moment I get into the car.
