switch is in the STOP/OFF position. Auto Park Brake is
enabled and disabled by customer selection through the
Customer Programmable Features section of the

engage the park brake automatically if the vehicle is left
unsecured while the ignition switch is in MAR/RUN.

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 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 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

Page 311 of 587

When the system determines a collision with the vehicle
in front of you is no longer probable, the warning
message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
•The minimum speed for Brake Control activation is
4 mph (7 km/h).
• The maximum speed for Brake Control activation is
124 mph (200 km/h).
• The Brake Control alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or sign posts
based on the course prediction. This is expected and is
a part of normal Brake Control activation and func-
tionality.
• The Brake Control system is intended for on-road use
only. If the vehicle is taken off-road, the Brake Control
system should be deactivated to prevent unnecessary
warnings to the surroundings. •
The system is active only if the front seat belts are
fastened.
WARNING!
Brake Control is not intended to avoid a collision on
its own, nor can Brake Control detect every type of
potential collision. The driver has the responsibility
to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via
braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning Brake Control ON Or OFF
The Brake Control menu setting is located in the
Uconnect settings.
NOTE: The default status of Brake Control is “Warning +
Active Braking,” this allows the system to warn you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you and
enable the active braking.

WARNING!(Continued)
•The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that
should not be disconnected and should only be
replaced with a battery of the same type (vented).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the cables on the
battery that the positive cable is attached to the
positive post and the negative cable is attached to
the negative post. Battery posts are marked positive
(+) and negative (-) and are identified on the
battery case. Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
• If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is in the
vehicle, disconnect both vehicle battery cables be-
fore connecting the charger to the battery. Do not
use a “fast charger” to provide starting voltage.
Air Conditioner Maintenance
For best possible performance, your air conditioner
should be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer
at the start of each warm season. This service should
include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance
test. Drive belt tension should also be checked at this
time.
WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants
approved by the manufacturer for your air condi-
tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are
flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other
unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer to
Warranty Information Book, located on the DVD,
for further warranty information.

Instrument Panel Bezels
CAUTION!
When installing hanging air fresheners in your ve-
hicle, read the installation instructions carefully.
Some air fresheners will damage the finish of
painted or decorated parts if allowed to directly
contact any surface.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are
molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care
must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap solution maybe used, but do not use high alcohol content or
abrasive cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a
clean damp cloth. 2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical
solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or
lukewarm water. Do not remove the belts from the
vehicle to wash them. Dry with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the
buckles do not work properly.

WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and
leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do
not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they
have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn web-
bing, etc.).
RAISING THE VEHICLE
In the case where it is necessary to raise the vehicle, go to
a your authorized dealer or service station.
The vehicle lifting points on the vehicle are marked on
side skirts with symbols (
see example shown).
