WARNING! (Continued)
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 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 chil-
dren), and do not leave the ignition in the
ON or 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.
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.
If exceptional circumstances should make it
necessary to engage the EPB while the vehicle
is in motion, maintain upward pressure on the
EPB switch for as long as engagement is
desired. The brake warning lamp could
illuminate in case of the hydraulic system is not
available. The rear stop lamps will also be
illuminated automatically while the vehicle
remains in motion.
To disengage the EPB while the vehicle is in
motion, release the switch. If the vehicle is
brought to a complete stop using the EPB, when
the vehicle reaches approximately 1.9 mph
(3 km/h) the EPB will remain engaged.
STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING!
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. Be sure 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 accompanied by the Brake Warning
Light 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.

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 whenever the
ignition is in the OFF mode. Auto Park Brake is
enabled and disabled by customer selection
through the Customer Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect Settings.
