Electric Park Brake (EPB)

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Park Brake

(EPB) system that offers simple operation and some additional features that make the park brake more convenient and useful.

Electric Park Brake Switch

The park brake switch is located in the integrated center stack.

To engage the park brake manually, push the Electric

Park Brake Switch.

To disengage the park brake manually, the ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Press the brake pedal, then push the park brake switch down momentarily.

The park brake will disengage automatically when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position, the transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE, the driver’s seat belt is buckled, and an attempt is made to drive away by pressing the accelerator pedal.

The new Auto Park Brake feature can be used to apply the park brake automatically every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled in the Settings menu in Uconnect.

SafeHold is a new feature that will automatically apply the park brake under certain conditions. The EPB monitors the status of the driver’s seat belt, driver’s door, and pedal positions to determine if the driver may have exited while the vehicle is still capable of moving and will then automatically apply the park brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

NOTE:

• You may hear a slight whirring sound from the back of the vehicle while the park brake engages or disengages.

• Once the park brake is fully engaged, the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the LED indicator on the switch will illuminate. 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 your foot is on the brake pedal while you are engaging or disengaging the park brake, you may notice a small amount of brake pedal movement.

• The park brake can be engaged even when the ignition switch is OFF; however, it can only be disengaged when the ignition switch is in the

ON/RUN position.

• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch is held for longer than 20 seconds in either the released or applied position. The light will extinguish upon releasing the switch.

• Refer to “Electric Park Brake” in the “Starting And

Operating” section in your Owner’s Manual at www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-manual.html

Engine STOP/START System (ESS) — If Equipped

The STOP/START system was developed to reduce emissions by stopping the engine automatically during a vehicle stop if the conditions are met and the brake is depressed. The system defaults back ON at every ignition cycle.

STOP/START Off Switch

Releasing the brake pedal, pressing the accelerator pedal, or shifting out of DRIVE (D) will start the engine.

How do I manually turn off/on the engine

STOP/START system?

• Press the STOP/START OFF switch (located on the instrument panel). The light on the switch will illuminate when the system is off. The light on the switch will turn off when system is on.

What are possible reasons the engine does not autostop?

• The hood is ajar.

• The transmission is not in a forward gear.

• Driver’s door is open. • Cabin heating or cooling is in process and an acceptable cabin temperature has not been achieved.

• Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.

• The vehicle has not reached a speed of

5 mph (8 km/h) after the previous autostop.
