sound. The rear stop lamps will also be illuminated
automatically while the vehicle remains in motion.
To disengage the park brake while the vehicle is in
motion, release the switch. If the vehicle is brought to a
complete stop using the parking brake, when the vehicle
reaches approximately 3 mph, (5 km/h) the parking
brake will remain engaged.
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 sys-
tem. 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 Electric Park
Brake system, a yellow EPB fault light will illuminate.
This may be accompanied by the BRAKE telltale light
flashing. In this event, urgent service of the electric park
brake system is required. Do not rely on the parking
brake to hold the vehicle stationary.

Auto Park Brake

The electric park brake can be programmed to be applied
automatically whenever the vehicle is at a standstill and
the automatic transmission is placed in PARK, or with a
manual transmission, whenever the ignition switch is
turned "OFF". 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.
