WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of serious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the
vehicle is moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause inter-
ference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of
control of the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever/
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 of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement
and possible injury or damage.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to

ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle,
if the target vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, your vehicle will resume motion without the need for any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming
to a standstill, the driver will either have to press the RES (resume) button, or apply
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing Set Speed.
NOTE:
After the ACC system holds your vehicle at a standstill for approximately three
consecutive minutes, the parking brake will be activated, and the ACC system will be
cancelled.
While the ACC system is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is
unbuckled or the driver door is opened, the parking brake will be activated, and the
ACC system will be cancelled.
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed
Speed) Speed Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, press the ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal
(Fixed Speed) Speed Control OFF.
• Pressing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in
turning ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric Park Brake System (EPB) that offers
greater convenience. The park 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 instrument cluster
and an indicator on the switch will illumi-
nate.
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 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 automati-
cally every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled
in the Settings menu in Uconnect®.
• The parking brake can be engaged even when the ignition switch is OFF, however,
it can only be disengaged when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
• 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 capable of moving and will then automatically 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
20 seconds in either the released or applied position. The light will extinguish
upon releasing the switch.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for further details.

CAUTION!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a
brake system malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately.
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in the OFF position,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously 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 ACC or ON/RUN position. A child
could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged 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.
• Driving the vehicle with the parking brake engaged, or repeated use of the
parking brake to slow the vehicle may cause serious damage to the brake
system.

ParkSense® Active Park Assist
The ParkSense®Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the
ParkSense®Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the Uconnect®
display.
The ParkSense®Active Park Assist sys-
tem is intended to assist the driver during
parallel and perpendicular parking ma-
neuvers by identifying a proper parking
space, providing audible/visual instruc-
tions, and controlling the steering wheel.
The ParkSense®Active Park Assist sys-
tem is defined as “semi-automatic” since
the driver maintains control of the accel-
erator, shift lever and brakes. Depending
on the driver’s parking maneuver selec-
tion, the ParkSense®Active Park Assist
system is capable of maneuvering a ve-
hicle into a parallel or a perpendicular
parking space on either side (i.e., driver
side or passenger side).
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense®is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense®in order to be able
to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when using ParkSense®.
