Driving and Operating 205
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows steering and braking at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can
help even more than braking.
Electric Parking Brake
The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) can be
applied when the vehicle is on or off.
If there is not enough electrical power, the
EPB cannot be applied or released. To
prevent draining the battery, avoid
unnecessary repeated cycles of the EPB.The system has a red EPB status light and
an amber service EPB warning light. See
Electric Parking Brake Light
0116 and
Service Electric Parking Brake Light 0116.
There are also parking brake-related Driver
Information Center (DIC) messages.
Before leaving the vehicle, check the red EPB
status light to ensure that the EPB is
applied.
If a message displays on the DIC indicating
the electric drive unit is unable to shift, the
service EPB light is on, and the EPB light
flashes at the same time, the system must
be reset. Start the vehicle, apply the EPB,
and then release it. The message and light
should turn off. See Electric Parking Brake
Light 0116 and
Service Electric Parking Brake Light 0116.EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Be sure the vehicle is at a complete stop.
2. Press the EPB switch.
The red EPB status light will flash and then
stay on once the EPB is fully applied. If the
red EPB status light flashes continuously,
then the EPB is only partially applied or
there is a problem with the EPB. A 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 red
EPB light is flashing. See your dealer.
If the amber service EPB warning light is on,
press the EPB switch. Continue to hold the
switch until the red EPB status light remains
on. If the amber service EPB warning light is
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, or as required by other
safety functions that utilize the EPB.
If the EPB fails to apply, block the rear
wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
EPB Release
To release the EPB:
1. Turn the vehicle on.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.

206 Driving and Operating
3. Press the EPB switch.
The EPB is released when the red parking
brake status light is off.
If the amber service EPB warning light is on,
release the EPB by pressing and holding the
EPB switch. Continue to hold the switch
until the red parking brake status light is
off. If either light stays on after release is
attempted, see your dealer.
Caution
Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake
system parts. Make sure that the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and parking on a
hill, see Driving Characteristics and Towing
Tips 0294.
Automatic EPB Release
The EPB automatically releases if the vehicle
is running, placed into gear, and an attempt
is made to drive away. Avoid rapid
acceleration when the EPB is applied, to
preserve parking brake lining life.
Brake Assist
Brake Assist detects rapid brake pedal
applications due to emergency braking
situations and provides additional braking to
activate the Antilock Brake System (ABS) if
the brake pedal is not pushed hard enough
to activate ABS normally. Minor noise, brake
pedal pulsation, and/or pedal movement
during this time may occur. Continue to
apply the brake pedal as the driving
situation dictates. Brake Assist disengages
when the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
{Warning
Do not rely on the HSA feature. HSA does
not replace the need to pay attention
and drive safely. You may not hear or
feel alerts or warnings provided by this
system. Failure to use proper care when
driving may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. See Defensive Driving
0 183.
When the vehicle is stopped on a grade, Hill
Start Assist (HSA) prevents the vehicle from
rolling in an unintended direction during the
transition from brake pedal release to accelerator pedal apply. The brakes release
when the accelerator pedal is applied. If the
accelerator pedal is not applied within a few
minutes, the Electric Parking Brake will
apply. The brakes may also release under
other conditions. Do not rely on HSA to hold
the vehicle.
HSA is available when the vehicle is facing
uphill in a forward gear, or when facing
downhill in R (Reverse). The vehicle must
come to a complete stop on a grade for HSA
to activate.
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking takes some of the
energy from the moving vehicle and turns it
back into electrical energy. This energy is
then stored back into the high voltage
battery system, contributing to increased
energy efficiency.
Regenerative power may be limited when
the battery is near full charge or cold. See
“Regenerative Power Limited”
underPower
Indicator Gauge 0111. Regenerative braking
supplements your vehicle’s conventional
brakes, especially when going downhill. See
Hill and Mountain Roads 0190.

.To accept the new set speed, briefly
move the thumbwheel down to−SET and
release it.
.To decline the new set speed, briefly
move the thumbwheel up to +RES and
release it.
If you do not accept or decline the new
proposed set speed, there is no change to
the set speed.
Conditions Affecting Automatic Speed
Limiter (Auto)
.There are changes in brightness, such as
entering and exiting tunnels, bridges, and
overpasses.
.There are low sun angles.
.Ambient lighting is poor in the evening or
early morning.
.There are multiple changes in brightness
or there are shadows along the roadway.
.There are conditions associated with low
visibility such as fog, rain, snow, or road
spray.
.The on-board camera’s view of the road is
blocked by leaves, snow, or other debris.
If Automatic Speed Limiter becomes
temporarily unavailable, change to
Manual mode. Resuming Speed Limiter
If Speed Limiter was active but then
*was
pressed, Speed Limiter can be resumed using
the previous set speed. Briefly move the
thumbwheel up to +RES and release it to
activate Speed Limiter using the previous set
speed.
If Speed Limiter was turned off because
cruise control, ACC, or Super Cruise was
turned on, to use Speed Limiter again:
1. Turn off cruise control, ACC, or Super Cruise.
2. On the infotainment home screen, touch Controls > Drive (Drive & Park) > Speed
Limiter.
3. Select Manual or Auto.
Overriding Speed Limiter
When Speed Limiter is active, the set speed
can be temporarily overridden only when
you fully apply the accelerator pedal. You
can control vehicle acceleration again when
the vehicle speed is below the set speed.
Turning Off Speed Limiter
To turn off Speed Limiter, from the
infotainment home screen, touch Controls >
Drive (Drive & Park) > Speed Limiter > Off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. The
following gap is the following time (or
distance) between your vehicle and a vehicle
detected directly ahead in your path,
moving in the same direction. If no vehicle
is detected in your path, ACC works like
regular cruise control. ACC uses a camera
and radar sensor(s) to detect other vehicles.
See Radio Frequency Statement 0404.
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
apply acceleration or limited, moderate
braking to maintain the selected following
gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake
pedal or press
*. If ACC is controlling the
vehicle speed when the Traction Control
System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system activates, ACC
may disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0207. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely used, ACC
can be turned back on.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
218 Driving and Operating
Disabling the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system
will disengage ACC and prevent ACC from
being re-engaged while TCS or StabiliTrak/
ESC is disabled.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate, especially
when used on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take over the
control of braking or acceleration more
often.
{Warning
ACC has limited braking ability and may
not have time to slow the vehicle down
enough to avoid a collision with another
vehicle you are following. This can occur
when vehicles suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane. Also see
“Alerting the Driver”later in this section.
Complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0183.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for children,
pedestrians, animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.On winding and hilly roads or when
the sensors are blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may not detect a
vehicle ahead. Keep the entire front of
the vehicle clean.
.Visibility is poor due to rain, snow,
fog, dirt, insect residue, or dust; when
other foreign objects obscure the
camera and/or radar; or when the
vehicle in front or oncoming traffic
causes additional environmental
obstructions, such as road spray. ACC
performance is limited under these
conditions.
.On slippery roads where fast changes
in tire traction can cause excessive
wheel slip.
5:Press to turn the system on or off. The
indicator turns white on the instrument
cluster when ACC is turned on.
+RES : If ACC is already activated, press the
thumbwheel up briefly to resume the
previous set speed or to increase the set
speed. See “Increasing Speed While ACC Is at
a Set Speed” later in this section.
–SET : If ACC is already activated, briefly
press the thumbwheel down to –SET to set
the ACC cruise speed or to decrease the set
speed. See “Reducing Speed While ACC Is at
a Set Speed” later in this section.

224 Driving and Operating
{Warning
When using ACC to pass a vehicle or
perform a lane change, the following
distance to the vehicle being passed may
be reduced. ACC may not apply sufficient
acceleration or braking when passing a
vehicle or performing a lane change.
Always be ready to manually accelerate
or brake to complete the pass or lane
change.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and react to stopped
or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For
example, the system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may
not stop and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while driving
and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes. Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
.Vehicles with cargo extending from the
back end.
.Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse carriages.
.Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
has been disabled.
.If equipped with Air Suspension, the
vehicle ride height is outside normal
operating range. See Air Suspension0211.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports a blockage when
driving in a remote area with no other
vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable. The ACC indicator light will turn white when
ACC is disengaged.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See
“Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control” previously in this
section. Always consider driving conditions
before using either cruise control mode.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow distance gap
behind a detected vehicle, and will slow
down your vehicle to a stop behind that
vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven
away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to
check traffic ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times,
or three beeps will sound. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Alert Type > Adaptive Cruise Go
Notifier.

Towing with ACC
If equipped when towing a trailer, ACC
driving characteristics such as following gap,
acceleration rates, and braking rates may be
modified to provide a better towing
experience.
When ACC is used with vehicles equipped
with an aftermarket trailer brake controller,
disengage ACC before applying the manual
trailer brake. ACC will not automatically
disengage when the manual trailer brake is
applied.
ACC may be used when towing a trailer if
the trailer is within the GM-approved
allowable size and weight limits. SeeTrailer
Towing 0297.
When towing a trailer with ACC, it is
important to properly set the Trailer Gain.
See “Integrated Trailer Brake Control
System” inTowing Equipment 0301 for
information about the Trailer Gain
adjustment procedure.
Use Tow/Haul mode when driving down
steep hills or mountain grades, or when
hauling heavy loads. See Driver Mode
Control 0209. Disengaging ACC
There are four ways to disengage ACC:
.Press*.
.Lightly apply the brake pedal.
.Apply the Regen on Demand steering
wheel paddle, if equipped.
.Press5.
Erasing Speed Memory
The ACC set speed is erased from memory if
5is pressed or if the vehicle is turned off.
Weather Conditions Affecting ACC
ACC system operation may be limited under
snow, heavy rain, or road spray conditions.
Accessory Installations and Vehicle
Modifications
.Do not install or place any object around
the front camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front camera view.
.Do not install objects on top of the
vehicle that overhang and may obstruct
the front camera, such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be transported on
top of the vehicle.
.Do not modify the hood, headlamps,
or fog lamps, as this may limit the
camera’s ability to detect an object. Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the windshield behind
the rearview mirror, and the sensors on the
front of the vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, mud, or other debris. These
areas must be clean for ACC to operate
properly. For proper cleaning instructions,
see the section
“Washing the Vehicle” in
Exterior Care 0379.
If driving conditions temporarily prevent
normal and safe ACC operation, regular
cruise control may be available. See
“Switching Between ACC and Regular Cruise
Control” previously in this section. Always
consider driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.
Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can steer to
maintain lane position under certain
conditions on Super Cruise-enabled roads.
Super Cruise can also steer to perform a
lane change under certain conditions on
Super Cruise-enabled roads.
A lane change can be initiated by the driver
using the turn signal lever.
