by momentarily lifting up on the EPB
switch. Once fully applied, the parking
brake status light will be on. While
the brake is being applied, the status
lamp will flash until full apply is
reached. If the light does not come on,
or remains flashing, you need to have
the vehicle serviced. Do not drive the
vehicle if the parking brake status light
is flashing. See your CHEVROLET
retailer. See Electric Parking Brake
Light on page 4-21 for more informa-

position until the vehicle comes to a
