Electric Parking Brake - Chevrolet Traverse 2018 Owner's Manual

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 EPB can always
be activated, even if the ignition is
off. To prevent draining the battery,
avoid repeated cycles of the EPB
system when the engine is not
running.
The system has a or PARK
Electric Parking Brake light, and
some vehicles may have a
Service Parking Brake light.
See Electric Parking Brake Light
0 144 and Service Electric Parking
Brake Light (Uplevel Only) 0 144.
Before leaving the vehicle, check for
the or PARK light to ensure that
the parking brake 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.
Driving and Operating
The or PARK light will flash and
then stay on once the EPB is fully
applied. If the or PARK light
flashes continuously, then the EPB
is only partially applied, the vehicle
is in Service Mode, or there is a
problem with the EPB. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) message
will display. Release the EPB and
try to apply it again. If the light does
not come on, or keeps flashing,
have the vehicle serviced.
Do not drive the vehicle if the
PARK light is flashing. See your
dealer. See Electric Parking Brake
Light 0 144.
If the light is on or the
PARK light flashes when the ignition
is turned on, pull the EPB switch
and hold it. Continue to hold the
switch until the or PARK light
remains on. If the light remains
on, see your dealer.
If the EPB is applied while the
vehicle is moving, the vehicle will
decelerate as long as the switch is
237
