Manual Transmission - If Equipped - Jeep Compass 2018 Owner's Manual

For manual transmissions, the EPB will auto-
matically 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 clutch pedal is not pressed.
• The seat belt is unbuckled.
• The driver door is open.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by push-
ing 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.
Brake Service Mode
We recommend having your brakes serviced by
your authorized dealer. You should only make
repairs for which you have the knowledge and
the right equipment. You should only enter
Brake Service Mode during brake service.
When servicing your rear brakes, it may be
necessary for you or your technician to push the
rear piston into the rear caliper bore. With the
electric park brake system, this can only be
done after retracting the EPB actuator. The
actuator retraction can be done easily by enter-
ing the Brake Service Mode through the
Uconnect Settings in your vehicle. This menu
based system will guide you through the steps
necessary to retract the EPB actuator in order to
perform rear brake service.
Service Mode has requirements that must be
met in order to be activated:
• The vehicle must be at a standstill.
• The parking brake must be disabled.
• The transmission must be in park or neutral.
• The EPB switch not activated.
• The vehicle in ignition ON/RUN position.
• The brake pedal not pressed.
While in service mode, the EPB fault lamp will
flash continuously while the ignition switch is
ON/RUN.
NOTE:
A dedicated message will appear in the instru-
ment cluster display if Brake Service Mode
cannot be activated.
When brake service work is complete, the fol-
lowing steps must be followed to reset the
parking brake system to normal operation:
• Ensure the vehicle is at a standstill.
• Press the brake pedal with moderate force.
• Apply the EPB Switch.
NOTE:
A dedicated message will appear in the instru-
ment cluster display if Brake Service Mode
cannot be deactivated.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Do only that service
work for which you have the knowledge and
the right equipment. If you have any doubt
about your ability to perform a service job,
take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF
EQUIPPED
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the
vehicle unattended without having the park
brake fully applied. The park brake should
always be applied when the driver is not in
the vehicle, especially on an incline.
CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, or attempt to hold the vehicle on
a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged,
as this will cause abnormal wear on the
clutch.
