ELECTRIC PARK 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 illu-
minate.
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 parkingbrake 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 a new feature that will automatically apply the park brake under certainconditions. 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 mode,
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 mode. 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
ParkSense Front And Rear Park Assist
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled by pushing the ParkSense switch located on
the switch panel below the Uconnect display.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in
the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the sen-
sors’ field of view. The sensors can de-
tect obstacles from approximately 12 in
(30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal di-
rection, depending on the location, type
and orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the
sensors’ field of view. The sensors can
detect obstacles from approximately
12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm) from
the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orientation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 2 meters behind the rear bumper while the vehicle
is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID). In addition a chime will sound (when
Sound and Display is selected from the Customer Programmable Features screen of
the Uconnect System). As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the chime rate will
change from single 1/2 second tone (for rear only), to slow (for rear only), to fast,
to continuous.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
