close it. Lower hood to approximately 12 inches (30 cm)

WARNING!(Continued)
the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving;
failure to do so can lead to brake failure and a collision.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the EPB system, a
yellow EPB fault lamp will illuminate. This may be accom-
panied by the Brake warning lamp flashing. In this status
some EPB functionalities may be deactivated. In this event,
urgent service of the EPB system is required. Do not rely on
the EPB to hold the vehicle stationary.
Auto Park Brake
The EPB can be programmed to be applied automatically
whenever the vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) and
the automatic transmission is placed in PARK, or with a
manual transmission, whenever the ignition is in the OFF
mode. Auto Park Brake is enabled and disabled by cus-
tomer selection through the Customer Programmable Fea-
tures section of the Uconnect Settings.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be bypassed
by pushing the EPB switch to the release position while the
transmission is placed in PARK (automatic transmission)
and the ignition is in the RUN mode. In some cases, with
an automatic transmission, if at the cycle of key from RUN to the OFF mode the gear selector is not firmly locked in
Parking position, EPB applies automatically even if Auto
Park Brake has been previously disabled.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system that will
engage the park brake automatically if the vehicle is left
unsecured while the ignition is in the RUN mode.
For automatic transmissions, the EPB will automatically
engage if all of the following conditions are met:
•
Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
• There is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal.
• The seat belt is unbuckled.
• The driver door is open.
• The vehicle is not in the PARK position.
For manual transmissions, the EPB will automatically
engage if all of the following conditions are met:
• Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
• There is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal.
• The clutch pedal is not pressed.
