Electric Park Brake Operating Modes
The electric park brake may operate as
follows:
"Dynamic Operating Mode": this mode
is activated by pulling the switch
repeatedly while driving.
"Static Engagement and Release
Mode": with the vehicle stationary, the
electric park brake can be activated by
pulling the switch on the center console
once. Push the switch and the brake pedal
at the same time to disengage the brake.
"Drive Away Release" — if equipped:
the electric park brake will automatically
disengage with the driver side seat belt
fastened and the detection of an action
performed by the driver to move the
vehicle (DRIVE [D] or REVERSE [R]).
"Safe Hold": if the vehicle speed is
lower than 1.9 mph (3 km/h), the gear
selector is not in PARK (P) position and
the driver's intention of leaving the
vehicle is detected, the electric park
brake will automatically engage to hold
the vehicle in safety conditions.
"Auto Park Brake": if the vehicle speed
is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h), the electric
park brake will automatically engage
when the gear selector is in PARK (P)
position. The light on the switch located
on the center console switches on
together with the BRAKE warning light on
the instrument panel when the park brake
is engaged and applied to the wheels.
Each automatic park brake engagement
can be cancelled by pressing the switch
on the center console and at the same
time moving the gear selector for the
transmission to position PARK (P).
Safe Hold
Safe Hold is a safety function that
automatically engages the electric park
brake in the event of a dangerous
condition for the vehicle.
The electric park brake engages
automatically to prevent vehicle
movement if:
The vehicle speed is below 2 mph
(3 km/h).
A transmission operating mode
different from PARK (P) is activated.
The driver's seat belt is not fastened.
The driver side door is open.
No attempts to apply pressure on the
brake pedal have been detected.
The "Safe Hold" function can be
temporarily disabled by pressing the EPB
switch located on the center console and
the brake pedal at the same time, with
the vehicle stationary and the driver side
door open.
Once disabled, the function will activate
again when the vehicle speed reaches
12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is cycled
to STOP and then to ON.
