STARTING AND OPERATING
161
To disengage the EPB while the vehicle is in
motion, release the switch. If the vehicle is
brought to a complete stop using the EPB, when
the vehicle reaches approximately 1.9 mph
(3 km/h) the EPB will remain engaged.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the EPB
system, a yellow EPB fault lamp will illuminate.
This may be accompanied by the Brake warning
lamp flashing. In this status some EPB
functionalities may be deactivated. In this
event, urgent service of the EPB system is
required. Do not rely on the EPB to hold the
vehicle stationary.
Auto Park Brake
The EPB can be programmed to be applied
automatically whenever the vehicle speed is
below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) and the automatic
transmission is placed in PARK, or with a
manual transmission, whenever the ignition is
in the OFF mode. Auto Park Brake is enabled
and disabled by customer selection through the
Customer Programmable Features section of
the Uconnect Settings.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be
bypassed by pushing the EPB switch to the
release position while the transmission is
placed in PARK (automatic transmission) and
the ignition is in the RUN mode. In some cases,
with an automatic transmission, if the ignition is
cycled from ON/RUN to OFF and the gear
selector is not firmly locked in the PARK
position, EPB applies automatically even if Auto
Park Brake has been previously disabled.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system
that will engage the park brake automatically if
the vehicle is left unsecured while the ignition is
in the RUN mode.
For automatic 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 seat belt is unbuckled.
The driver door is open.
The vehicle is not in the PARK position.
WARNING!
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake
engaged, or repeated use of the parking
brake to slow the vehicle may cause serious
damage to the brake system. Be sure the
parking brake is fully disengaged before driv
-
ing; failure to do so can lead to brake failure
and a collision.
