NOTE:

• Even if the power steering assistance is no longer

operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle.

Under these conditions there will be a substantial

increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds and

during parking maneuvers.

• If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for

service.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Parking Brake

System (EPB) that offers simple operation, and some

additional features that make the parking brake more

convenient and useful.

The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent the

vehicle from rolling while parked. Before leaving the

vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is applied.

Also, be certain to leave the transmission in PARK.
You can engage the parking brake in two ways;

• Manually, by applying the park brake switch.
• Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake fea-

ture in the customer programmable features section of

the Uconnect® settings.

The parking brake switch is located in the center console.
