Voiceover:
Introducing the Jeep active drive 4x4 system with disconnecting rear driveshaft and power transfer unit.
[A white Jeep Compass Trailhawk drives down a scenic dirt road through a forest. An aerial shot of the moving Jeep Compass Trailhawk slowly transforms into an animated graphic of the vehicle’s suspension system.]
Voiceover:
The Jeep active drive 4x4 system consists of the following components.
[Different components of the Active Drive 4x4 System are then highlighted within the animation]
Voiceover:
A one-speed disconnecting power transfer unit. A multi-piece driveshaft. A one-speed rear drive module with electronic control unit and a torque transfer device.
[The animation fades as we close up on the Jeep Compass.]
Voiceover:
The class-exclusive available rear axle disconnect only engages the 4x4 system when necessary for impressive efficiency.
[A wide shot of the Compass slowly driving through a dirt road in a scenic forest. The Compass quickly ascends up a muddy and rocky hill, demonstrating its off-road prowess]
Voiceover:
Certain environmental conditions and driving styles such as changes in slope or inclement weather will seamlessly engage the system without noticeable shifting.
[The sky darkens and rain begins to fall. Suddenly the rain stops, and the proudly muddy Jeep Compass has made it to the top of the hill.]
Voiceover:
The system helps provide maximum efficiency when 4x4 capability is not needed and fully variable 4x4 torque to each axle when it is needed.
[A rear shot of the Jeep Compass driving slowly over rock-covered terrain before a wide shot shows the Compass descending the rocky hill.]
Voiceover:
The brake lock differential is a traction control feature that offers similar performance to a locking differential.
[A closeup of the Jeep Compass wheel losing traction as it drives over the rocks.]
Voiceover:
If a wheel has lost traction and is spinning freely
[An animated graphic reveals the vehicle’s inner suspension system. The brakes are highlighted within the animation to illustrate how torque is distributed to the wheels to prevent slippage.]
Voiceover:
the system will automatically apply brake pressure to that wheel which allows more torque to go to the wheel that has traction.
[The animation fades into a close up shot of the Compass masterfully descending rocky terrain.]
Voiceover:
Brake lock differential is not a substitute for a locking differential. It just helps extend the capability of your Jeep Vehicle.
[A closeup of the interior console highlights the vehicle’s four wheel drive lock mode button.]
Voiceover:
This system also includes a four-wheel drive lock mode
[Switch to the Compass still driving on the rocky dirt road as it transforms into an animated graphic highlighting the vehicle’s power transfer unit.]
Voiceover:
once engaged the power transfer unit is locked to ensure immediate power to the rear drive axles.
[A super of the Jeep logo on a black background closes the video.]
