Auto Park Brake; Safehold - Jeep COMPASS User Manual

142 STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING!
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 a collision.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the EPB
system, a yellow EPB fault lamp will illuminate.
This may be accompanied by the BRAKE
warning lamp flashing. In this event, urgent
service of the EPB system is required. Do not
rely on the parking brake to hold the vehicle
stationary.

The EPB can be programmed to be applied
automatically whenever the vehicle speed is
below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) and the automatic
transmission is placed in PARK, or with a
manual transmission, whenever the ignition
switch is in the OFF position. Auto Park Brake is
enabled and disabled by customer selection
through the Customer Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect Settings.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be
bypassed by pushing the EPB switch to the
release position while the transmission is
placed in PARK (automatic transmission) and
the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
