ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric Park Brake System (EPB) that offers greater
convenience. The EPB switch is located in the center console.
To apply the park brake manually, pull up
on the switch momentarily. Once the park-
ing brake is fully engaged, the BRAKE warn-
ing lamp in the instrument cluster and an
indicator on the switch will illuminate.
To release the park brake manually, the
ignition must be in RUN. Then put your
foot on the brake pedal and push the park
brake switch down momentarily. Once the
park brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE
warning lamp and the switch indicator will
extinguish.
The park brake can also be automatically
released if the driver’s seat belt is buckled
and driver's intention to start (in forward
or reverse direction) is recognized by the system.
NOTE:
On a manual transmission vehicle, if the clutch pedal is released at the same time the gas
pedal is pressed, the EPB will be automatically released.
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
whenever the vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) and the automatic transmis-
sion is placed in PARK, or with a manual transmission, whenever the ignition is turned
off. Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled in the Settings menu in Uconnect.
• 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 automatically apply the park brake under certain
conditions. The EPB monitors the status 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 ca-
pable of moving and will then automatically apply the park brake to prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
