Auto Park Brake; Safehold; Brake Service Mode - Jeep Renegade 2019 User Manual

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.

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
is in the OFF mode. Auto Park Brake is
enabled and disabled by customer selection
through the Customer Programmable Fea-
tures 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 RUN mode. In some
cases, with an automatic transmission, if at
the cycle of key from RUN to the OFF mode
128
the gear selector is not firmly locked in Park-
ing position, EPB applies automatically even
if Auto Park Brake has been previously dis-
abled.

SafeHold

SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB sys-
tem that will engage the park brake automati-
cally if the vehicle is left unsecured while the
ignition is in the RUN mode.
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 cycled to the OFF
mode and back to 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 knowl-
edge 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.
