Electric Park Brake (EPB) —
Diesel Only
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Park
Brake System (EPB) that offers simple opera-
tion, and some additional features that make
the park brake more convenient and useful.
The park brake is primarily intended to prevent
the vehicle from rolling while parked. Before
leaving the vehicle, make sure that the park
brake is applied.
You can engage the park brake in two ways:
• Manually, by applying the park brake switch.
• Automatically, by the Auto Park Brake fea- ture whenever the vehicle speed is below
1.25 mph (2 km/h) and the ignition switch is
in the STOP/OFF position.
The park brake switch is located on the instru-
ment panel to the right of the instrument clus-
ter.
STARTING AND OPERATING
Page 8 of 20
To apply the parking brake manually, pull and
tilt the top of the switch away from the instru-
ment panel momentarily. You may hear a me-
chanical sound while the parking brake oper-
ates; this is normal operating noise. Once the
parking brake is fully engaged, the BRAKE
warning lamp in the instrument cluster and an
indicator on the switch will illuminate. The parkbrake can be applied even when the ignition
switch is OFF; however, it can only be released
when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:
The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB
switch is held for longer than 20 seconds with a
vehicle speed less than 1.25 mph (2 kph), or
60 seconds with a vehicle speed greater than
1.25 mph (2 kph), in either the released or
applied position. The light will extinguish upon
releasing the switch.
The park brake will automatically engage when-
ever the ignition switch is turned OFF and the
vehicle speed is below 1.25 mph (2 km/h) via
the Auto Park Brake feature.
The electric park brake will automatically re-
lease if the engine is on and all following
conditions are met:
1. Driver's weight is detected on the driver's
seat. 2. Driver's seat is locked in forward direction (if
equipped with swivel seat).
3. Transmission is in forward or reverse gears.
4. The accelerator pedal is pressed.
Or
1. Driver’s weight is detected on the driver’s seat.
2. Driver’s seat is locked in forward direction (if equipped with swivel seat).
3. Transmission is moved from NEUTRAL to DRIVE or REVERSE gears.
4. Brake pedal is pressed.
5. Vehicle is on a slope less than 5 percent.
Electric Park Brake Switch
Page 9 of 20
To release the park brake manually, the ignition
switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Put
your foot on the brake pedal, then push the
parking brake switch down momentarily. Once
the park brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE
warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the
LED indicator on the switch will extinguish.
If during drive away the driver pulls the EPB
switch (apply position) the drive away is halted
and EPB will be reapplied.
NOTE:
• When parking on a hill, it is important to turnthe front wheels toward the curb on a down-
hill grade and away from the curb on an
uphill grade. The parking brake should al-
ways be applied whenever the driver is not in
the vehicle. • The Electronic Park Brake system communi-
cates with the Driver Presence Detection
sensor installed in the driver seat. The use of
seat covers or seat accessories could prevent
the Electronic Park Brake system from work-
ing properly and result in unintended vehicle
movement.
If exceptional circumstances should make it
necessary to engage the park brake while the
vehicle is in motion, a buzzer repeats until the
park brake switch is released or vehicle speed is
below 1.25 mph (2 km/h).
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 park
brake, when the vehicle reaches approximately
1.25 mph (2 km/h) the parking brake will
remain engaged.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the
Electric Park Brake system, a yellow triangle
EPB fault lamp will illuminate. In this status,
some EPB functionality may be deactivated, 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, wheel chocks, or other mechanical securing of
the vehicle is required to prevent rolling.
Loss Of Electric Power
If electric power is not available and the EPB
must be released for towing the vehicle, the
EPB can be mechanically released by use of an
Allen wrench. EPB mechanical release should
only be performed by qualified service person-
nel and only when the vehicle is secured from
rolling.

ings and cautions, please refer to the Diesel
Supplement at www.mopar.com/en-us/care/

Automated Manual Transmission
— Diesel Only
Your new vehicle is equipped with an energy
efficient Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT). This transmission is a Conventional Six-
Speed Manual Transmission with an electroni-
cally controlled hydraulic system that controls
the clutch and gear shifting.
In forward gears, this transmission offers two
modes of operation: Automatic (D) Mode –
where the electronic system controls the gear
shifts, and MANUAL (M) Mode – where the
driver controls the transmission shifting by tog-
gling the gear selector rearward or forward (+/-)
to upshift or downshift.As with any new technology, the transmission
has some unique characteristics that may be
unfamiliar. These include:
• The Automated Manual Transmission must
be in NEUTRAL (N) to start the vehicle.
Press and hold the brake pedal, then place
the gear selector in NEUTRAL (N), before
attempting to start the engine.
• To drive, press the brake pedal and start the engine, then move the gear selector from
NEUTRAL (N) to the desired position.
• The actual transmission gear range (R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) is displayed in the
instrument cluster display whenever the en-
gine is running.
• When the key is turned OFF, the transmis- sion remains in its previous gear position,
regardless of the gear selector position.
• When the key is turned ON (engine off), the instrument cluster display may indicate the
gear selector position rather than the actual
transmission gear position. • Engine torque is interrupted briefly during
the transmission upshifts, making these
shifts more abrupt than a typical automatic
transmission. This is normal.
• Although transmission shifting is performed automatically, the vehicle will not "creep"
when the brake pedal is released and may in
fact roll backward on an incline. Leaving
from a stop, the accelerator pedal must be
pressed to transmit driving torque to the
wheels.
• With the vehicle at a standstill and a gear engaged, keep the brake pedal pressed until
you decide to drive away. Then release the
brake and accelerate gradually.
• Do not use the accelerator to keep the ve- hicle at a standstill (for example, holding on
a hill); the clutch could be damaged by
overheating. Use the brake pedal instead
and operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to drive away.
