92 STARTING AND OPERATING
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
switch is in ON/RUN.
For automatic transmissions, the EPB will
automatically engage if all of the following
conditions are met:
Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
There is no attempt to press the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal.
The seat belt is unbuckled.
The driver door is open.
The vehicle is not in the PARK position.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by
pushing the EPB switch while the driver door is
open and the 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 turned to the OFF
position and back to ON/RUN again.
Brake Service 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 Service 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. The actuator
retraction can be done easily by entering the
Brake Service 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.
Service Mode has requirements that must be
met in order to be activated:
The vehicle must be at a standstill.
The parking brake must be disabled.
The transmission must be in PARK or
NEUTRAL.
The EPB switch not activated.
The vehicle in ignition ON/RUN position.
The brake pedal not pressed.
While in service mode, the EPB fault lamp will
flash continuously while the ignition switch is
ON/RUN.
NOTE:
A dedicated message will appear in the instru-
ment cluster display if Brake Service Mode
cannot be activated.
When brake service work is complete, the
following steps must be followed to reset the
parking brake system to normal operation:
Ensure the vehicle is at a standstill.
Press the brake pedal with moderate force.
Apply the EPB Switch.
NOTE:
A dedicated message will appear in the instru-
ment cluster display if Brake Service Mode
cannot be deactivated.
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.
