Electric Parking Brake
Light
Metric
English
For vehicles with the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB), the parking
brake status light comes on when
the parking brake is applied. If the
light continues flashing after the
parking brake is released, or while
driving, there is a problem with the
Electric Parking Brake system.
A message may also display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
See
for more information.
If the light does not come on,
or remains flashing, see your dealer.
For vehicles with the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB), the parking
brake warning light should come on
briefly when ignition is placed in ON/
RUN. If it does not come on, then
have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn if there is a problem.
If this light comes on, there is a
problem with a system on the
vehicle that is causing the parking
brake system to work at a reduced
level. The vehicle can still be driven,
but should be taken to a dealer as
soon as possible. See
for more
information.
For vehicles with the uplevel or
eAssist cluster, this telltale displays
in the Driver Information Center
(DIC) screen.
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This light comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
If the light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the
ignition off.
If the light comes on while driving,
stop as soon as it is safely possible
and turn off the vehicle. Then start
the engine again to reset the
system. If the ABS light stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the
vehicle needs service. A chime may
also sound when the light comes on
steady.
