Electric Parking Brake - Chevrolet 2015 Corvette Owner's Manual

9-24 Driving and Operating
suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to
stop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold
the brake pedal down firmly and let
ABS work. You may hear the ABS
pump or motor operating and feel
the brake pedal pulsate. This is
normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows you to steer and brake
at the same time. In many
emergencies, steering can help
more than even the very best
braking.

Electric Parking Brake

The vehicle has an Electric Parking
Brake (EPB). The switch is on the
centre console. The EPB can
always be activated, even if the
ignition is off. To prevent draining
the battery, avoid repeated cycles of
the EPB when the engine is not
running.
The system has a red handbrake
status light and an amber
handbrake warning light. See
Electric Parking Brake Light on
page 5-19 and Service Electric
Parking Brake Light on page 5-20.
There are also handbrake-related
Driver Information Centre (DIC)
messages. See Brake System
Messages on page 5-32. In case of
insufficient electrical power, the EPB
cannot be applied or released.
Before leaving the vehicle, check
the red handbrake status light to
ensure that the handbrake is
applied.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Be sure the vehicle is at a
complete stop.
2. Lift up the EPB switch
momentarily.
