STARTING AND OPERATING 159
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part of
the break-in and not interpreted as a problem.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Park
Brake System (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 applying the park brake switch.
Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park
Brake feature in the customer programmable
features section of the Uconnect settings or
in “Safe Hold” conditions.
Electric Park Brake Switch
To apply the EPB manually, pull up on the switch
momentarily. You may hear a slight whirring
sound from the back of the vehicle while the
EPB engages. Once the parking brake is fully
engaged, the BRAKE warning lamp 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 mode however, it can only be released
when the ignition is in the RUN mode.
NOTE:
The EPB fault lamp 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 electric park brake will be automatically
released if the driver's seat belt is buckled (only
in case of automatic transmission) and driver's
intention to start (in forward or reverse
direction) is recognized by the system.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Min-
eral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
