The electric park brake can be programmed to be applied automatically whenever the vehicle is at a standstill and the automatic transmission is placed in PARK, or with a manual transmission, whenever the ignition switch is turned "OFF". 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 pressing the EPB switch to the release position while the transmission is placed in PARK.
