70 STARTING AND OPERATING
Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a
high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes
should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions
under which vehicle operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality grades
Ú page 271.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few
thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be
considered a normal part of the break-in and not inter-
preted as a problem.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB that offers simple
operation, and some additional features that make the
parking brake more convenient and useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent the
vehicle from rolling while parked. Before leaving the
vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is applied. Also,
be certain to leave the transmission in PARK.
The EPB switch is located in the center console.
You can engage the EPB in two ways;
Manually, by pulling up on the EPB switch momentarily
to apply.
Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake feature
in the Customer Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect Settings.
Electric Park Brake Switch
To apply the EPB manually, pull up on the switch
momentarily. You may hear a sound from the back of the
vehicle while the EPB engages. Once the parking brake is
fully engaged, the BRAKE Warning Light in the instrument
cluster and an indicator on the switch will illuminate. If
your foot is on the brake pedal while you apply the EPB,
you may notice a small amount of brake pedal movement.
The EPB can be applied even when the ignition is in the
OFF position however, it can only be released when the
ignition is in the RUN position.
NOTE:
The EPB Warning Light will illuminate if the EPB switch is
held for longer than 60 seconds in either the released or
applied position. The light will extinguish upon releasing
the switch.
If the Auto Park Brake feature is enabled, the EPB will
automatically engage whenever the transmission is
moved into PARK, or with a manual transmission, when
the ignition switch is in the STOP/OFF position. If your foot
is on the brake pedal, you may notice a small amount of
brake pedal movement while the EPB is engaging.
The EPB will be automatically released if the driver’s seat
belt is buckled (in case of automatic transmission) and
driver's intention to start (in forward or reverse direction)
is recognized by the system
To release the EPB manually, the ignition must be in the
RUN position. Put your foot on the brake pedal, then push
the EPB switch down momentarily. You may hear a sound
from the back of the car while the parking brake
disengages. You may also notice a small amount of
movement in the brake pedal. Once the EPB is fully
disengaged, the BRAKE Warning Light in the instrument
cluster and the LED indicator on the switch will extinguish.
NOTE:
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from
the curb on an uphill grade. Apply the EPB before placing
the gear selector in PARK, otherwise the load on the trans-
mission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move
the gear selector out of PARK. The EPB should always be
applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in
the engine or damage may result.
