How do you replace the car battery on a Jeep Compass? Here’s how to carry out the replacement: open the car door and pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, then lift the front bonnet, disengaging the locking lever with your fingers, and secure it (with the rod or piston).
