162 STARTING AND OPERATING
For manual transmissions, the EPB will
automatically engage if all of the following
conditions are met:

Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).

There is no attempt to depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal.

The clutch pedal is not pressed.

The seat belt is unbuckled.

The driver door is open.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by
pushing the EPB Switch while the driver door is
open and the brake pedal is pressed. Once
manually bypassed, SafeHold will be enabled
again once the vehicle reaches 12 mph
(20 km/h) or the ignition is cycled to the OFF
mode and back to RUN again.
Brake Service Mode
We recommend having your brakes serviced by
an authorized dealer. You should only make
repairs for which you have the knowledge and
the right equipment. You should only enter
Brake Service Mode during brake service.
When servicing your rear brakes, it may be
necessary for you or your technician to push the
rear piston into the rear caliper bore. With the
electric park brake system, this can only be
done after retracting the EPB actuator. The
actuator retraction can be done easily by
entering the Brake Service Mode through the
Uconnect Settings in your vehicle. This menu
based system will guide you through the steps
necessary to retract the EPB actuator in order to
perform rear brake service.
Service Mode has requirements that must be
met in order to be activated:

The vehicle must be at a standstill.

The parking brake must be disabled.

The transmission must be in park or neutral.

The EPB switch not activated.

The vehicle in ignition RUN mode.

The brake pedal not pressed.
While in service mode, the EPB fault lamp will
flash continuously while the ignition is in the
RUN mode.
NOTE:
A dedicated message will appear in the instru -
ment cluster if Brake Service Mode cannot be
activated.
When brake service work is complete, the
following steps must be followed to reset the
parking brake system to normal operation:

Ensure the vehicle is at a standstill.

Press the brake pedal with moderate force.

Apply the EPB Switch.
NOTE:
A dedicated message will appear in the instru -
ment cluster if Brake Service Mode cannot be
deactivated.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Do only that service
work for which you have the knowledge and
the right equipment. If you have any doubt
about your ability to perform a service job,
take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
