  • 2017 Jeep® #compass earns Top #safety Pick from Insurance Institute for Highway #safety (IIHS)
  • Highest possible ratings for crashworthiness and collision-warning technology
  • All-new #compass achieves “good” rating in each of five #iihs crashworthiness tests
  • Available Automatic Emergency Braking technology – Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus – gets “superior” rating; system benefits from
    sensor-fusion strategy
  • Most capable compact #suv ever offers 70 available #safety and security features, including seven standard-equipment air bags
October 17, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new Jeep® #compass has earned a 2017 Top #safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute of Highway #safety (IIHS).
 
The 2017 compact #suv achieves “good” ratings in each of five #iihs tests that evaluate crashworthiness. Its available Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) technology also earns a grade of “superior.”
 
Each is the highest possible #iihs rating in its category. A Top #safety Pick designation is contingent on such performance.
 
“The all-new #jeep #compass benefits from high-strength steel content that exceeds 65 percent,” says Mike Manley, Head of #jeep Brand – FCA Global. “This not only contributes to crashworthiness, it speaks to a level of engineering sophistication that makes this vehicle the most capable small #suv ever.”
 
More than half of its high-strength steel comprises hot-stamped steel and advanced high-strength steel, indicative of a trend that has seen FCA US increase their overall use by more than 50 percent since model-year 2012.

The 2017 #jeep #compass scored “good” ratings in tests that simulate:
  • a side impact with a large #suv or pickup truck;
  • a moderate-offset frontal impact;
  • a small-offset frontal impact;
  • roof-deformation consistent with a rollover; and
  • a rear collision capable of inducing whiplash

Advanced AEB technology is a hallmark of the #safety strategy embraced by FCA US LLC. Accordingly, the all-new #jeep #compass benefits from sensor-fusion technology in its available driver-assist feature, Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus.
 
“Sensor-fusion combines the attributes of radar technology and cameras, while most competitive systems use one or the other,” says Mark Chernoby, Chief Technical Compliance Officer – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. “This approach affords greater precision for monitoring the road ahead.”
 
Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus is among 70 #safety and security features in the all-new 2017 #jeep #compass. Among its seven standard-equipment air bags are seat-mounted side pelvic-thorax air bags and full-length, side-curtain air bags.
