The steering wheel of the 2026 Jeep Compass does much more than help you steer. It’s designed to serve as the command center of your driving experience, putting many of the vehicle’s most commonly used features directly at your fingertips. Whether you’re commuting to work, heading out on a road trip, or exploring a backcountry trail, the Compass helps you stay focused on the road while remaining connected to your vehicle.
Mounted on the front of the steering wheel are controls that allow you to manage phone calls, audio settings, voice commands, and driver information displays without reaching for the center touchscreen. Need to skip a song, adjust the volume, or answer an incoming call? Simply use the buttons on the steering wheel and keep your hands where they belong.
The available voice command controls are especially useful when you’re on the move. With a simple press of a button, drivers can interact with the Uconnect® system, request navigation directions, make phone calls, send messages, or control media functions using voice commands. This helps reduce distractions while making everyday tasks more convenient.
Behind the steering wheel, the 2026 Jeep Compass features an available 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display. Dedicated steering wheel buttons allow drivers to cycle through menus and customize the information shown on the screen. You can quickly view fuel economy data, tire pressure readings, trip information, navigation guidance, safety alerts, and driver assistance settings without taking your eyes off the road for long.
For colder Canadian mornings, available heated steering wheel functionality adds an extra layer of comfort. The heated wheel warms up quickly, helping drivers stay comfortable even when temperatures drop well below freezing.
The steering wheel also works closely with the Compass’s available adaptive cruise control and driver assistance technologies. Drivers can activate and adjust cruise control settings directly from the wheel, making long highway drives more relaxing and reducing fatigue during extended trips.
With its thoughtful layout, intuitive controls, and advanced connectivity features, the 2026 Jeep Compass steering wheel transforms everyday driving into a more convenient, comfortable, and connected experience.
