Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure
as soon as a wheel shows a tendency
to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully pressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
Do not decrease your power to press
the foot brake.
When you start the vehicle after
ignition switched on, mechanical
sounds can be heard.

If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS
are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no
longer be steered and may
swerve.
Depending on the severity of the
emergency braking, the vehicle might
blink the brake lamps as a warning for
other vehicles.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by Chevrolet dealers.

Always apply the parking brake firmly
without operating the release button,
and apply as firmly as possible on a
downhill or uphill slope.
To release the parking brake, pull the
lever up slightly,
press the release
button and fully lower the lever.
To reduce
the operating forces of the
parking brake, press the foot brake at
the same time.
