128 STARTING AND OPERATING
SAFEHOLD
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system that
will place the transmission in PARK, and 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 door is open.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing
the EPB switch while the driver door is open. Once
manually 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.
HOLD ‘N GO — IF EQUIPPED
Hold ‘N Go 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 continue to hold the vehicle at a
stop until the driver applies the accelerator pedal.
Hold ‘N Go can be activated or deactivated by
pushing the HOLD button located on the switch
bank.

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. Fortunately, actuator retraction can
be done easily by entering 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 fault lamp
will flash continuously while the ignition is ON.
