Automatic Shutdown
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in READY mode (vehicle
running) with the gear selector in PARK for one hour
after the driver exits, this feature will automatically turn
the vehicle off. Notifications have been added into this
feature to raise awareness of the timed event:
• In the interior of the vehicle, the instrument cluster
will display "Vehicle is Ready To Drive", and will be
accompanied by three audible chimes while exit-
ing. These interior warnings will occur regardless of
whether the key fob remains in the vehicle or is
removed.
• For the exterior of the vehicle, the horn will sound
three times if the fob is removed from the vehicle
and the vehicle is in the "READY" mode.
Please consider this feature when intentionally running
the vehicle for extended periods of time over one
hour. To restart the vehicle, follow the normal vehicle
starting process.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not
running) position and the transmission is in PARK, the
system will automatically time out (shut down) after an
initial 60 minutes of inactivity, followed by the addi-
tional amount of time for power accessory delay se-
lected in the radio settings menu. Once the vehicle
times out, it will switch to the OFF position.
For further information, and applicable warnings and
cautions, please refer to the Owner's Manual at

Residents).
SafeHold — Electric Park
Brake
SafeHold is a safety feature of the Electric Park Brake
System that will engage the park brake automatically if
the vehicle is left unsecured. If the automatic transmis-
sion is not in PARK, the seat belt is unbuckled, the
driver door is open, the vehicle is at a standstill, and
there is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal, the park brake will automatically
engage to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing the
Electric Park Brake Switch while the driver door is open
and 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 position and back to ON again.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with an automatic
hill parking grade feature. If the vehicle is placed in
park on moderate to steep grade, the electric park
brake has been designed to automatically apply when
necessary. When this occurs, a message will display in
the cluster, and the "BRAKE" lamp and parking brake
selector button will illuminate to indicate activation.
The electric parking brake will automatically release
when shifting out of park if your seatbelt is buckled.
Additionally, the driver will always have the ability to
manually release the electric parking brake by first
pressing brake pedal, and then pushing the selector
button on the console.
