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.
The parking brake can be engaged even
when the ignition is OFF, however, it can
only be disengaged when the ignition is in
the ON/RUN mode.
SafeHold a new feature that will automat-
ically apply the park brake under certain
condition
s. 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 automati
-
cally apply the park brake to prevent the
vehicle f
rom rolling.
The EPB fault light will illuminate if the
EPB switch is held for longer than 90
seconds in either the released or applied
position. The light will extinguish upon
releasing the switch.
Refer to the Starting And Operating
section in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parki
ng brake fully when exiting the
vehicle to guard against vehicle move
-
ment and possible injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat
-
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons.
A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should
b
e warned
not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the transmission
gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disen-
gaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to b
rake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake
when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll
and cause damage or injury. Also be
certain to leave the transmission in
PARK. Failure to do so may allow the
vehicle to roll and cause damage or
injury.
