Video tutorial

In this video, we see a very important feature for the Jeep Compass, namely how to bring the rear brakes into maintenance mode. The pistons have electric motors; however, we do not need a scanning tool to perform this operation, but we can do it from the menu.

We go to "settings" and scroll down to "brakes"; here we find a specific option: "brake service". We confirm and see on the multimedia screen that the operation is taking place. We will hear the brakes retract with our ears.

Now the reset option appears on the screen: press the brake pedal and then activate the parking brake switch. Now we will hear the brake pistons come out again (and this information is displayed on the screen).
