PARK BRAKE
Electric Park Brake (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Park Brake
System (EPB) that offers simple operation, and
some additional features that make the parking
brake more convenient and useful. The Electric
Park Brake Switch is located in the integrated center
stack.
To engage the park brake manually, push the Elec-
tric Park Brake Switch.
To release the park brake manually, the ignition
switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Press on
the brake pedal, then push the parking brake switch
down momentarily.
The parking brake will disengage automatically
when the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position,
the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE, the
driver seat belt is buckled, and an attempt is made
to drive away by pressing the accelerator pedal.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from the back
of the vehicle while the parking brake engages or
disengages.
• Once the parking brake is fully engaged, the
BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster
and the LED indicator on the switch will illuminate.
Once the park brake is fully disengaged, the
BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster
and the LED indicator on the switch will extin-
guish.
• 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 move-
ment.
• The park 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.
• 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 “Parking Brake” in “Starting And Operat-
ing” located in your Owner’s Manual for further
information.
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute
for the parking brake. Always apply the park-
ing brake fully when exiting the vehicle to
guard against vehicle movement 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 ve-
hicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil-
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is danger-
