The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the
edge of a road onto the shoulder while
driving. Follow these tips:1. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer the
vehicle so that it straddles the edge of
the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn, until the right front
tire contacts the pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three control
systems:
.Braking Skid —wheels are not rolling.
.Steering or Cornering Skid —too much
speed or steering in a curve causes tires
to slip and lose cornering force.
.Acceleration Skid —too much throttle
causes the driving wheels to spin.
Antilock brakes help to avoid only the
braking skid. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking
reasonable care suited to existing conditions,
and by not exceeding those conditions. But
skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to skid, follow these
suggestions:
.Ease your foot off the accelerator pedal
and steer the way you want the vehicle
to go. The vehicle may straighten out,
but if it skids again from oversteer, be
ready to correct another skid if it occurs.
.Slow down and adjust your driving
according to weather conditions. Stopping
distance may be longer and vehicle
control may be affected when traction is
reduced by water, snow, ice, gravel,
or other material on the road. Learn to
recognize warning clues
—such as
enough water, ice, or packed snow on the
road to make a mirrored surface —and
slow down when you have any doubt.
.Try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration,
or braking, including reducing vehicle
speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide.
Off-Road Driving
Four-wheel-drive vehicles can be used for
off-road driving. Vehicles without four-wheel
drive and vehicles not equipped with All
Terrain (AT) or On-Off Road (OOR) tires must
not be driven off-road except on a level,
solid surface. For contact information about
the original equipment tires, see the
warranty manual.
One of the best ways for successful off-road
driving is to control the speed.
{Warning
When driving off-road, bouncing and
quick changes in direction can easily
throw you out of position. This could
cause you to lose control and crash. You
and your passengers should always wear
seat belts.
Off-Road Vehicle Features
If equipped, the following off-road features
may be available:
.Four-Wheel Steering: Provides the ability
to steer the vehicle with all four wheels,
reducing the turning diameter and
improving maneuverability of the vehicle.
See Four-Wheel Steering 0210.

vehicle will no longer be held at a stop.
The vehicle can move. When ACC is
holding the vehicle at a stop, always be
prepared to manually apply the brakes.
{Warning
Leaving the vehicle without placing it in
P (Park) can be dangerous. Do not leave
the vehicle while it is being held at a
stop by ACC. Always place the vehicle in
P (Park) and turn it off before leaving the
vehicle.
ACC Override
If you apply the accelerator pedal while ACC
is engaged, the ACC indicator light turns
blue in the instrument cluster and the HUD,
if equipped, indicating that ACC braking will
not occur. ACC will resume operation when
the accelerator pedal is released.
{Warning
The ACC will not automatically apply the
brakes if your foot is resting on the
accelerator pedal. You could crash into a
vehicle ahead of you. Curves in the Road
{Warning
On curves, ACC may not detect a vehicle
ahead in your lane. You could be startled
if the vehicle accelerates up to the set
speed, especially when following a vehicle
exiting or entering exit ramps. You could
lose control of the vehicle or crash. Do
not use ACC while driving on an entrance
or exit ramp. Always be ready to use the
brakes if necessary.
{Warning
On curves, ACC may respond to a vehicle
in another lane, or may not have time to
react to a vehicle in your lane. You could
crash into a vehicle ahead of you, or lose
control of your vehicle. Give extra
attention in curves and be ready to use
the brakes if necessary. Select an
appropriate speed while driving in curves.
ACC may operate differently when the
vehicle approaches a sharp curve in the road
ahead. If the ACC system detects that a

P (Park). To start driving away, press the
brakes and shift into D (Drive).
Certain vehicle conditions and driver
interferences may also cancel automatic
parking:
.The driver manually steers the vehicle.
.The maximum allowed speed is exceeded.
.There is a failure with the APA system.
.Electronic stability control or antilock
brakes are activated.
.The parking brake is applied.
.Driver unbuckles the seat belt and opens
the door.
System Limitations
Automatic Parking Assist has certain
limitations. The system cannot:
.Continue to operate if the maneuver
speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph).
.Detect whether a parking space is legal or
restricted.
.Detect pavement markings or lines.
.Park the vehicle closely lined up with the
vehicle next to it, particularly if the spot
is approached at an angle or if the
parking space is angled.
.Park exactly centered in a very large spot.
.Always detect short curbs.
.Operate while towing any trailer.
.Function the vehicle is raised or lowered
by air suspension,if equipped.
When the System Does Not Seem to Work
Properly
If the vehicle does not reverse into the
expected parking space, the system could be
maneuvering the vehicle into a previously
detected space.
Remote Auto Parking
If equipped, the vehicle can complete the
automatic parking maneuvers while the
driver authorizes the maneuver via the
myChevrolet app on a compatible mobile
phone outside of the vehicle. The driver can
also activate an automatic parallel or
perpendicular unparking maneuver via the
myChevrolet app. The driver must always be
prepared to cancel the automatic maneuver
if necessary.
Remote Auto Parking works the same way
and has the same limitations as the
standard APA feature described above. The
main difference is that you must instead
exit the vehicle and use the
myChevrolet app.
{Warning
When using the remote parking feature,
stay within a short distance and visually
monitor the vehicle until parking is
complete. Do not leave the vehicle
unsupervised during remote parking.
How to Activate Remote Auto Parking
To activate Remote Auto Parking, press
O
on the infotainment screen for the system
to begin searching for a parking space while
driving forward at no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). APA searches for parking
spaces to the left or right of the vehicle up
to the sensors’ ranges of 1.5 m (5 ft). To
choose or change the parking mode or side,
make a selection in the infotainment
display.
After completely passing an eligible parking
spot, a beep sounds and a notification to
stop the vehicle is displayed in the driver
information center. Generally, Remote Auto
Parking selects the nearest empty parking
spot behind the vehicle, but under some
conditions may select a space that is further
back. Slow down and bring the vehicle to a
complete stop to begin.

Following Distance Indicator
If equipped, the following distance to a
moving vehicle ahead in your path is
indicated in following time in seconds on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level)
0129 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130. The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away.
If there is no vehicle detected ahead, or the
vehicle ahead is out of sensor range, dashes
will be displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for
turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows.
These alerts are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
The AEB system may help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end crashes. AEB
also includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
your path that is traveling in the same
direction that you may be about to crash
into, it can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or hard.
Always wear a seat belt and ensure that all
passengers are properly restrained. This
automatic emergency braking can only occur
if a vehicle is detected. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator being lit. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261.
The system works when driving in a forward
gear above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can detect
vehicles up to approximately 60 m (197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB to brake the
vehicle. AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only responds
to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on winding or
hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles, especially vehicles
with a trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.
.Detect a vehicle when weather limits
visibility, such as in fog, rain, or snow.
.Detect a vehicle ahead if it is partially
blocked by pedestrians or other
objects.
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes and/or
steer the vehicle to avoid crashes.

front, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat
will pulse five times. When this Collision
Alert occurs, the brake system may prepare
for driver braking to occur more rapidly
which can cause a brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake pedal as
needed.
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
Automatic Braking
If I-AEB detects it is about to crash into an
intersecting vehicle, and the brakes have not
been applied, I-AEB may automatically brake
moderately or hard. This can help to avoid
some crashes or lessen impact by reducing the speed of the vehicle. Always wear a seat
belt, and check that all passengers are
properly restrained. I-AEB can automatically
brake between 15 km/h (9 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic braking levels
may be reduced under certain conditions,
such as higher speeds.
I-AEB may slow the vehicle to a complete
stop to try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, I-AEB may engage the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle at a
stop. Release the EPB or firmly press the
accelerator pedal to continue driving.
I-AEB may also apply the brakes
automatically when there is an intersecting
vehicle at risk of collision and the system
determines that the driver is not braking
with sufficient force.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal and
the brake pedal should continue to be
applied as needed.
{Warning
I-AEB may automatically brake or increase
vehicle braking in situations when it may
not be necessary or desired. Your vehicle
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
could block the flow of traffic. I-AEB may
respond to stationary or parked vehicles,
signs, and other non-moving objects. To
override AEB, firmly press the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
{Warning
Using I-AEB while towing a trailer could
cause you to lose control of the vehicle
and crash. Turn the system to Alert or
Off when towing a trailer.
Cleaning the System
If I-AEB does not seem to operate properly,
cleaning the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror may correct the
issue.
Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System
If equipped, the FPB system may help avoid
or reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes with pedestrians and bicyclists when
driving in a forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a nearby

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
Driving and Operating 267
pedestrian or bicyclist is detected ahead.
When approaching a detected pedestrian or
bicyclist too quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver seat. FPB can
provide a boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA), and the
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system
may also respond to pedestrians or
bicyclists. SeeAutomatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) 0263. Always wear a seat belt and
ensure that all passengers are properly
restrained.
The FPB system can detect and alert to
pedestrians or bicyclists in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During daytime driving,
the system detects pedestrians or bicyclists
up to a distance of approximately 40 m
(131 ft). During nighttime driving, system
performance is very limited.{Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle, unless it
detects a pedestrian or bicyclist. FPB may
not detect pedestrians, including children,
or bicyclists:
.When the pedestrian or bicyclist is not
directly ahead, fully visible,
or standing upright, or when part of a
group.
.Due to poor visibility, including
nighttime conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice.
.If the headlamps or windshield are not
cleaned or in proper condition.
Be ready to take action and apply the
brakes. For more information, see
Defensive Driving 0183. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, and FPB sensor
clean and in good repair. FPB can be set to Off, Alert, or Alert and
Brake through vehicle settings. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems.
Detecting the Pedestrian or Bicyclist
Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic braking will not
occur unless the FPB system detects a
pedestrian or bicyclist. When a nearby
pedestrian or bicyclist is detected in front of
the vehicle, the pedestrian ahead indicator
will display amber.
