WARNING!
ous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be 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 disengaged
before driving; failure to do so can lead to
brake 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.
• Driving the vehicle with the parking brake en-
gaged, or repeated use of the parking brake to
slow the vehicle may cause serious damage to
the brake system.
CAUTION!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on
with the parking brake released, a brake system
malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system
serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the Electric Park
Brake System that will engage the park brake auto-
matically if the vehicle is left unsecured. If the auto-
matic transmission is not in PARK, the seat belt is
unbuckled, the driver door is open, the vehicle is at
a standstill, and there is no attempt to depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal, the park brake will
automatically engage to prevent the vehicle from
rolling.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing
the Electric Park Brake Switch while the driver door
is open and brake pedal is pressed. Once manually
bypassed, SafeHold will be enabled again once the
vehicle reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is
cycled to the OFF position and back to ON again.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute
for the park brake. Always apply the park
brake fully when exiting the vehicle to guard
against vehicle movement and possible injury
or damage.
• Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to
move the transmission gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting
the vehicle.
• The transmission may not engage PARK if the
vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to
a complete stop before shifting to PARK, and
verify that the transmission gear position indi-
cator solidly indicates PARK (P) without blink-
ing. Ensure that the vehicle is completely
stopped, and the PARK position is properly
indicated, before exiting the vehicle.
