SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system that will
engage the parking brake automatically if the vehicle is
left unsecured while the ignition is in ON/RUN.
The parking brake will automatically engage if all of the
following conditions are met:
•
The vehicle is at a standstill.
•
There is no attempt to press the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal.
•
The seat belt is unbuckled.
•
The driver’s door is open.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing the
EPB switch while the driver’s door is open. Once manu-
ally bypassed, SafeHold will be enabled again once the
vehicle reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is
turned to the OFF position and back to ON again.
Auto Hold — If Equipped
Auto Hold is a comfort feature that allows the driver to
remove their foot from the brake pedal once the vehicle
has come to a stop. The vehicle must be held at a
standstill for a predetermined amount of time by
hydraulic braking. The EPB will then engage and con-
tinue to hold the vehicle at a stop until the driver
applies the accelerator pedal. Auto Hold can be acti-
vated or deactivated by pushing the AUTO HOLD button
located on the switch bank.
The following conditions must be met for Auto Hold to
activate:
•
Driver’s door is closed
•
Driver's seat belt is fastened
•
Vehicle is at a standstill
•
Forward gear is selected
•
ACC is not engaged
•
EPB is not applied
•
ParkSense Active Park Assist System auto parking

Brake Maintenance Mode
We recommend having your brakes serviced by an
authorized dealer. You should only make repairs for
which you have the knowledge and the right equipment.
You should only enter Brake Maintenance mode during
brake service.
When servicing your rear brakes, it may be necessary
for you or your technician to push the rear piston into
the rear caliper bore. With the EPB system, this can
only be done after retracting the EPB actuator. Fortu-
nately, actuator retraction can be done easily by enter-
ing the Brake Maintenance mode through the Uconnect
Settings in your vehicle. This menu-based system will
guide you through the steps necessary to retract the
EPB actuator in order to perform rear brake service.
Maintenance mode has requirements that must be met
in order to be activated:
•
The vehicle must be at a standstill.
•
The parking brake must be unapplied.
•
The transmission must be in PARK or NEUTRAL.
While in Maintenance mode, the EPB Warning Light will
flash continuously while the ignition is ON.
When brake service work is complete, the following
steps must be followed to reset the parking brake sys-
tem to normal operation:
•
Ensure the vehicle is at a standstill.
•
Press the brake pedal with moderate force.
•
Apply the EPB switch.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or around a
motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you
have the knowledge and the right equipment. If you
have any doubt about your ability to perform a service
job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
