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 indicator will extinguish.
The park brake can also be automatically re-
leased. With the engine running and the trans-
mission 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.
• The parking brake can be engaged even
when the ignition is OFF, however, it can only
be disengaged when the ignition is in the
RUN mode.
• Safehold is a new feature that will automati-
cally 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 capable of
moving and will then automatically apply the
park brake to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the
EPB switch is held for longer than 20 sec-
onds in either the released or applied posi-
tion. The light will extinguish upon releasing
the switch.
