Parking Brake - Chevrolet Sonic 2016 Owner's Handbook Manual

ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
Do not decrease your power to
depress the footbrake.
When you start the vehicle after the
ignition is switched on, a mechanical
sound can be heard once. This is
normal and shows that the ABS is
ready to operate.
Control indicator u 3 84.
Fault
9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS
are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no
longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.

without operating the release button,
and apply as firmly as possible on a

To release the parking brake, pull the
lever up slightly, press the release
button and fully lower the lever.
Driving and operating
