STARTING AND OPERATING
136
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.
WARNING! (Continued)

Transmission shifting will be more notice-
able when AutoStick is enabled.
The system may revert to automatic shift
mode if a fault or overheat condition is
detected.
NOTE:
When Selec-Speed or Hill Descent Control is
enabled, AutoStick is not active.
To disengage AutoStick, return the gear
selector to the DRIVE position. You can shift
in or out of the AutoStick position at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electron -
ically for abnormal conditions. If a condition
is detected that could result in transmission
damage, Transmission Limp Home Mode is
activated. In this mode, the transmission
may operate only in a fixed gear, or may remain in NEUTRAL. The Malfunction Indi
-
cator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be
driven to an authorized dealer for service
without damaging the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all
forward gears by performing the following
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
3. Turn the ignition to the OFF position. On vehicles with push button start, push and
hold the ignition until the engine turns
OFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the trans -
mission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an authorized
dealer at your earliest possible convenience. An authorized dealer has diagnostic equip
-
ment to assess the condition of your trans -
mission. If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy
has been included in the automatic trans -
mission on your vehicle. A clutch within the
torque converter engages automatically at
calibrated speeds. This may result in a
slightly different feeling or response during
normal operation in the upper gears. When
the vehicle speed drops or during some
accelerations, the clutch automatically
disengages.
NOTE:
The torque converter clutch will not engage
until the engine and/or transmission is warm
(usually after 1 to 3 miles [2 to 5 km] of
driving). Because the engine speed is higher
when the torque converter clutch is not
engaged, it may seem as if the transmission
is not shifting properly when the vehicle is
cold. This is normal. The torque converter
clutch will function normally once the power -
train is sufficiently warm.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine
braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the
vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and
disabled with the ParkSense switch,
located on the switch panel below
the Uconnect display.
When the ParkSense switch is pushed to
disable the system, the instrument cluster
display will show the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for approximately five seconds.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
the Owner’s Manual for further details. When
the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and
the system is disabled, the instrument
cluster display will show the “PARKSENSE
OFF” message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when
the system is enabled. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and requires service, the
ParkSense switch LED will blink momen -
tarily, and then the LED will be on.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of
snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the instru -
ment cluster display will read “PARK -
SENSE OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn
ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn
it on again, even if you cycle the ignition.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage them.
The sensors must not be covered with ice,
snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to
do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not
detect an obstacle behind the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indica-
tion that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the
ParkSense system off if objects such as
bicycle carriers, etc. are attached to the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a
close object as a sensor problem, causing
the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED” message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster
display.
NOTE:
If any objects are attached to the bumper
within a 6.5 ft (2 m) field of view, they will
interfere and cause false alerts and possibly
blockage.
The operation of the rear sensors is auto-
matically deactivated when the trailer's
electric plug is inserted in the vehicle's
tow hook socket. The rear sensors are
automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
