244) Do not rely on the parking brake to
operate effectively if the rear brakes have
been immersed in water or mud.
245) Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
246) When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the vehicle lock, and
lock your vehicle.
247) Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Allowing children to be in a
vehicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch
the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift
level.
248) Do not leave the key in or near the
car or in a place accessible to children
and do not leave the ignition device of
a car equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
system in START or ENGINE position. A
child could activate the electric window
winders, other controls or even start the
vehicle.
249) Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
250) Always fully engage the parking
brake before getting out of the car to
prevent injury or damage caused by the
unexpected movement of the car. Also
verify that the automatic transmission is
in the P (Park) position. Failure to do so
could cause the car to move and result in
damage or injury.
251) Driving the vehicle with the parking
brake engaged, or repeated use of the
parking brake to slow the vehicle may
cause serious damage to the brake
system. Failure to do so can lead to brake
failure, and an accident.
IMPORTANT
48) If the indicator light or the symbol
remains illuminated with the parking
brake released, a fault exists. Have the
brake system repaired immediately by the
Jeep Service Network.
"HOLD 'N' GO" FUNCTION
(where provided)
The car can be equipped with the "Hold
'N' Go" function, which automatically
engages the electric parking brake
when the car is stationary and the
ignition device is in the START position.
This allows the driver to keep the car
stationary without pressing the brake
pedal while stopping the engine.
With the "Hold 'N' Go" function activated
and the car stationary, pressing the
accelerator pedal automatically releases
the parking brake.
Press the button (1) fig. 149 again to
activate the function. When the function
is active, the LED on the button lights
up and the symbol "HOLD" appears on
the instrument panel display. (For more
information refer to the “Warning lights
and messages” chapter in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” section.
Press the button (1) again to deactivate
the function. When the function is
deactivated, the LED on the button
goes out and the "HOLD" symbol in the
instrument panel display disappears.
