ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
• Your vehicle is equipped with a newElectric Park Brake System (EPB) that
offers greater convenience.
• The parking brake switch is located in the center console.
• To apply the park brake manually, pull up on the switch momentarily. The
BRAKE warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster and an indicator on the
switch will illuminate.
• To release the park brake manually, the ignition switch 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. With the engine running and the transmission in gear, release the brake pedal and depress the throttle pedal.
For safety reasons, your seatbelt must also be fastened.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be used to apply the park brake automati- cally every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled
in the Setting menu in UConnect
®.
• 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 that you may have exited while the vehicle
is still capable of moving, and will then automatically apply the park brake to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for further details.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
1–SPEED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
• This feature provides on-demandFour-Wheel Drive (4WD) with no driver
inputs or additional driving skills re-
quired.
• Under normal driving conditions, the front wheels provide most of the trac-
tion.
• If the front wheels begin to lose trac- tion, power is shifted automatically to
the rear wheels.
NOTE:
On dry pavement under heavy throttle
input (where one may have no wheel
spin), torque will be sent to the rear
wheels to improve vehicle launch and
performance characteristics.
2–SPEED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
•This electronically shifted Power Trans-
fer Unit provides three mode positions:
• Four-wheel drive low range (4WD
LOW)
• REAR LOCK
• NEUTRAL (N)
• The 4WD LOW range can be used when additional traction is required to
force the front and rear wheels to ro-
tate at the same speed.
• 4WD LOW is intended for loose, slip- pery road surfaces only.
NOTE:
In 4WD LOW the engine speed is approximately three times that of the normal driving
mode at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h).

shift completion to occur. The preferred method is for the vehicle to be rolling,
below 15 MPH (24 km/h), while including right and left steering maneuvers to
allow for the clutch teeth to align.
