Safehold
Safehold is a safety feature of the Electric Park Brake
System that will engage the park brake automatically if
the vehicle is left unsecured while the ignition switch is
in RUN.
For automatic transmissions, the park brake will auto-
matically engage if all of the following conditions are
met:
• The vehicle is at a standstill
• There is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal
• The seat belt is unbuckled
• The driver door is open
For manual transmissions, the park brake will automati-
cally engage if all of the following conditions are met:
• The vehicle is at a standstill
• 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 pressing the
Electric Park Brake Switch while the driver door is open.
Once manually bypassed, Safehold will be enabled again
once the vehicle reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition
is turned to the OFF position and back to ON again.
Brake Service Mode
We recommend having your brakes serviced by your
authorized dealer. You should only make repairs for
which you have the knowledge and the right equipment.
You should only enter Brake Service Mode during brake
service.
