ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric Park Brake System (EPB) that offers greater
convenience
. The EPB switch is located in the center console .
To apply the park brake manually, pull up
on the switch momentarily
.
The BRAKE
warning lamp in the instrument cluster and
an indicator on the switch will illuminate
.
To release the park brake manually, the
ignition switch must be in RUN
. Then put
your foot on the brake pedal and push the
park brake switch down momentarily
. Once
the park brake is fully disengaged, the
BRAKE warning lamp and the switch indica-
tor will extinguish
.
The park brake can also be automatically
released
.
With the engine running and the
transmission in gear, release the brake pedal
and depress the throttle pedal
.
For safety
reasons, your seat belt must also be fastened
.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from the back of the vehicle while the parking
brake engages or disengages .
• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you are engaging or disengaging the parking
brake, you may notice a small amount of brake pedal movement
.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be used to apply the park brake automatically
every time you park the vehicle
.
Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled in the
Settings menu in Uconnect or in “Safe Hold” conditions .
• The parking brake can be engaged even when the ignition switch is OFF, however, it
can only be disengaged when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position
.
• Safehold is a new feature that will automatically apply the park brake under certain
conditions
.
The EPB monitors the status of the driver’s seat belt, driver’s door and
pedal positions to determine if the driver may have exited while the vehicle is still ca-
pable of moving and will then automatically apply the park brake to prevent the vehicle
from rolling
.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch is held for longer than 20 seconds
in either the released or applied position
.
The light will extinguish upon releasing the
switch
.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on the
DVD for further details
