Stopping The Engine
Vehicles Equipped With A Mechanical Key Fob:
To turn off the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the car in a position that does notcause a traffic hazard.
2. Place the transmission in gear (models with a manual transmission) or place the
transmission in PARK (P) (models with
automatic transmission).
3. With the engine idling, place the ignition in the STOP/OFF position.
4. Remove the key from the ignition when the engine is shut off.
Vehicles Equipped With Electronic Key
(Keyless Ignition):
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), you must push
and hold the START/STOP button or push
the START/STOP button three times consec -
utively within a few seconds. The engine will
shut down, and the ignition will be placed in
the RUN position.
Turning Off the car (placing the ignition from
the RUN position to the STOP position), the
power supply to the accessories are main -
tained for a period of three minutes. Opening the driver side door with the ignition
in RUN will sound a short chime that
reminds the driver to place the ignition to
STOP.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF posi
-
tion, the window switches remains active for
three minutes. Opening a front door will
cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow
the temperature inside the engine compart -
ment to cool before shutting off the engine.
Normal Starting — Diesel Engine
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten
your seat belts.
The starter is allowed to crank for up to
30-second intervals. Waiting a few minutes
between such intervals will protect the
starter from overheating.
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always come to
a complete stop, then shift the auto-
matic transmission into PARK and apply
the parking brake.
Always make sure the keyless ignition
node is in the OFF mode, key fob is
removed from the vehicle and vehicle is
locked.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Leaving children 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 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.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.

To release the park brake manually, the igni-
tion 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 automatically
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 igni -
tion switch is in the ON/RUN position.
If exceptional circumstances should make
it necessary to engage the park brake
while the vehicle is in motion, maintain
upward pressure on the electric park brake
switch for as long as engagement is
desired. The BRAKE warning lamp will
illuminate, and a continuous chime will
sound. The rear stop lamps will also be
illuminated automatically while the
vehicle remains in motion.
SafeHold a new feature that will automat -
ically 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 automati -
cally 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 extin -
guish upon releasing the switch.
Refer to the Starting And Operating
section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual
for further information.
WARNING!
Do not rely on the parking brake to
operate effectively if the rear brakes have
been immersed in water or mud.
Never use the PARK position as a substi -
tute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to
guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When exiting 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 unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the transmission
gear selector.

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
switch is in the OFF position. Auto Park
Brake is enabled and disabled by customer
selection through the Customer Program -
mable Features 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 ON/RUN position.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB
system that will engage the park brake auto -
matically if the vehicle is left unsecured
while the ignition switch is in ON/RUN.
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 auto -
matically engage if all of the following condi -
tions 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.
The seat belt is unbuckled.
The driver door is open.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by
pushing the EPB Switch while the driver door
is open and the brake pedal is pressed. Once
manually bypassed, SafeHold will be
enabled again once the vehicle reaches
12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is turned
to the OFF position and back to ON/RUN
again.
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 disen -
gaged 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.

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.

proceed as follows:
Engage a gear (FIRST gear if facing uphill
or REVERSE if facing downhill) and leave
the wheels turned.
Stop the engine and engage the park
brake.
Always remove the key fob.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the vehicle is parked on a steep slope.
NOTE:
NEVER leave the car with the gearbox in
NEUTRAL (or, if equipped with automatic
transmission, before placing the gear
selector in PARK).
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION — IF
EQUIPPED
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the key fob when
exiting the vehicle and take it with you.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a substi -
tute for the park brake. Always apply the
park brake fully when exiting the vehicle
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released.
Make sure the transmission is in PARK
before exiting the vehicle.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle
could accelerate quickly forward or in
reverse. You could lose control of the
vehicle and hit someone or something.
Only shift into gear when the engine is
idling normally and your foot is firmly
pressing the brake pedal.
The vehicle may not engage a newly
selected gear when shifting between
PARK, REVERSE, or DRIVE if the
vehicle is moving while shifting.
Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As
with all vehicles, you should never exit a
vehicle while the engine is running.
Before exiting a vehicle always come to a
complete stop, then apply the park
brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the key
fob. When the ignition is in the LOCK/
OFF (key removal) position (or, with push
button start, when the ignition is in the
OFF mode), the transmission is locked in
PARK, securing the vehicle against
unwanted movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.

to shift the transmission out of PARK (or
NEUTRAL, when the vehicle is stopped or
moving at low speeds). Select the DRIVE
range for normal driving.
NOTE:
In the event of a mismatch between the gear
selector position and the actual transmission
gear (for example, driver selects REVERSE
while driving forward), the position indicator
will blink continuously until the selector is
returned to the proper position, or the
requested shift can be completed.
The electronically-controlled transmission
adapts its shift schedule based on driver
inputs, along with environmental and road
conditions. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts
on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.
This is a normal condition, and precision
shifts will develop within a few hundred
miles (kilometers).
The nine-speed transmission has been devel-
oped to meet the needs of current and future
FWD/AWD vehicles. Software and calibration
is refined to optimize the customer’s driving
experience and fuel economy. By design,
some vehicle and driveline combinations
utilize 9th gear only in very specific driving
situations and conditions. Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE
when the accelerator pedal is released and
the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your
foot on the brake pedal when shifting
between these gears.
The transmission gear selector provides
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and
AutoStick (+/-) shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the AutoStick shift
control. Moving the gear selector into the
AutoStick (+/-) position (beside the DRIVE
position) activates AutoStick mode,
providing manual shift control and displaying
the current gear in the instrument cluster (as
1, 2, 3, etc.). Toggling the gear selector
forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the Auto
-
Stick position will manually select the trans -
mission gear. Refer to "AutoStick" in this
section for further information.
NOTE:
If the gear selector cannot be moved to the
PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position
(when pushed forward) it is probably in the
AutoStick (+/-) position (beside the DRIVE
position). In AutoStick mode, the transmis -
sion gear (1, 2, 3, etc.) is displayed in the
instrument cluster. Move the gear selector to
the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for
access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL. Gear Selector
Gear Ranges
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when
shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL into
another gear range.
NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait a
moment to allow the selected gear to engage
before accelerating. This is especially
important when the engine is cold.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by
locking the transmission. The engine can be
started in this range. Never attempt to use
PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply
the parking brake when exiting the vehicle in
this range.

When parking on a level surface, you may
shift the transmission into PARK first, and
then apply the parking brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking
brake before shifting the transmission to
PARK, otherwise the load on the transmis -
sion locking mechanism may make it diffi -
cult to move the gear selector out of PARK.
As an added precaution, turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade
and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
When exiting the vehicle, always:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the ignition OFF.
4. Remove the key fob from the vehicle.
NOTE:

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during Parallel,
Perpendicular, and Parallel Park Exit maneu-
vers by identifying a proper parking space,
providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel. The Park -
Sense Active Park Assist system is defined
as “semi-automatic” since the driver main -
tains control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes. Depending on the driver's
parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense
Active Park Assist system is capable of
maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a
perpendicular parking space on either side
(i.e., driver side or passenger side), as well as
exiting a parallel parking space.
NOTE:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, responsible for any
surrounding objects, and must intervene
as required.
The system is provided to assist the driver
and not to substitute the driver.
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the
driver touches the steering wheel after
being instructed to remove their hands
from the steering wheel, the system will
cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
The system may not work in all conditions
(e.g. environmental conditions such as
heavy rain, snow, etc., or if searching for a
parking space that has surfaces that will
absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
New vehicles from the dealer must have at
least 30 miles (48 km) accumulated
before the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system is fully calibrated and performs
accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the
performance of the feature. The system
will also continuously perform the
dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated
tires and new tires.
Enabling And Disabling The ParkSense
Active Park Assist System
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.
To enable the ParkSense Active Park
Assist system, push the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch once (LED
turns on).
To disable the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, push the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch again (LED turns off).
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.
