Chevrolet Malibu Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
13555849) - 2020 - CRC - 8/16/19
168 Driving and Operating
Electric Parking Brake
The vehicle may have 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. In case of insufficient
electrical power, the EPB cannot be
applied or released.
The system has a
Y, f, or PARK
Electric Parking Brake light, and a
8
Service Parking Brake light. See
Electric Parking Brake Light 0 106
and
Service Electric Parking Brake Light
0 107.
Before leaving the vehicle, check for
the
Y, f , 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.
The
Y, f, or PARK light will flash
and then stay on once the EPB is
fully applied. If the
Y, f, or PARK
light flashes continuously, then the
EPB is only partially applied or there
is a problem with the EPB. A DIC
(Driver Information Center) 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
Y, f ,
or PARK light is flashing. See your
dealer. See Electric Parking Brake
Light 0 106.
If the
8 light is on, pull the EPB
switch and hold it. Continue to hold
the switch until the
Y, f , or PARK
light remains on. If the
8 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
pressed. If the switch is pressed
until the vehicle comes to a stop,
the EPB will remain applied.
The vehicle may automatically apply
the EPB in some situations when
the vehicle is not moving. This is
normal, and is done to periodically
check the correct operation of the
EPB system.
If the EPB fails to apply, block the
rear wheels to prevent vehicle
movement.
