The park brake can also be automatically
released. With the engine running and the
transmission in gear, release the brake pedal
and depress the throttle pedal. For safety
reasons, your seat belt must also be fastened.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from
the back of the vehicle while the parking
brake engages or disengages.
• 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 movement.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be
used to apply the park brake automatically
every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park
Brake can be enabled and disabled in the
Settings menu in Uconnect or in “Safe
Hold” conditions.
• The parking brake can be engaged even
when the ignition is OFF, however, it can
only be disengaged when the ignition is in
the RUN mode.
• Safehold is a new feature that will auto-
matically apply the park brake under cer-
tain conditions. The EPB monitors the sta-
tus of the driver’s seat belt, driver’s door
and pedal positions to determine if the
driver may have exited while the vehicle is
still capable of moving and will then auto-
matically apply the park brake to prevent
the vehicle from rolling.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the
EPB switch is held for longer than 60 sec-
onds in either the released or applied posi-
tion. The light will extinguish upon releas-
ing the switch.
• Refer to “Electric Park Brake (EPB)” in
“Starting And Operating” located in the
vehicle’s Owner's Manual for further
details.

reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously 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 ON or RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disen-
gaged 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.
