Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2023 One-Pedal Driving User Guide
One-Pedal Driving
With One-Pedal Driving, the accelerator pedal is used to control the deceleration of the vehicle to a complete stop. Completely lifting off the accelerator pedal results in aggressive deceleration. Partially lifting off the accelerator pedal allows the deceleration of the vehicle to be adjusted as desired. The amount of deceleration may vary under Regenerative Power Limited condition. See Power Indicator Gauge 0 86. Use the brake pedal if emergency braking is required.
To use One-Pedal Driving, press the One-Pedal Driving button on the Electric Drive Unit shift switch control. An indicator displays in the instrument cluster. When enabled, this feature applies in both D (Drive) and R (Reverse). This feature remains enabled until manually disabled by the driver. Press the accelerator pedal to the desired speed. The deceleration provided by One-Pedal Driving provides full regenerative braking and helps increase energy efficiency.
The brake lamps may come on when the accelerator pedal is released or during substantial deceleration from regenerative braking. Press the One-Pedal Driving button again to turn off One-Pedal Driving. If stopped, the vehicle stays stopped when One-Pedal Driving is turned off. Press the brake pedal or accelerator pedal to return to two-pedal driving. While operating in One-Pedal Driving, the electric parking brake may apply in some circumstances.
This can occur when:
- Driving on slopes.
- The driver’s door is open.
- The vehicle remains stationary for five minutes.
- There is a problem with the propulsion system.
To drive, press the accelerator pedal again and the electric parking brake will automatically disengage. One-Pedal Driving may shift the car into P (Park) if the vehicle is pushed once it has been stopped or if a problem with the propulsion system develops.
Brakes
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps prevent a braking skid and maintain steering while braking hard. ABS performs a system check when the vehicle is first driven. A momentary motor or clicking noise may be heard while this test is going on, and the brake pedal may move slightly. This is normal.
If there is a problem with ABS, this warning light stays on. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light 0 90. ABS does not change the time needed to get a foot on the brake pedal and does not always decrease the stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle ahead, there will not be enough time to apply the brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room ahead to stop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly. Hearing or feeling ABS operate is normal.
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 always be applied, even if the vehicle is off. In case of insufficient electrical power, the EPB cannot be applied or released. To prevent draining the battery, avoid unnecessarily repeated cycles of the EPB. The system has a red parking brake status light and an amber service parking brake warning light. See Electric Parking Brake Light 0 89 and Service Electric Parking Brake Light 0 89. There are also parking brake-related Driver Information Center (DIC) messages. Before leaving the vehicle, check the red parking brake status light to ensure that the parking brake is applied.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
- Be sure the vehicle is at a complete stop.
- Pull the EPB switch momentarily.
The red parking brake status light will flash and then stay on once the EPB is fully applied. If the red parking brake status light flashes continuously, 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 parking brake status light is flashing. See your dealer. If the amber service parking brake warning light is on, pull the EPB switch. Continue to hold the switch until the red parking brake status light remains on. If the amber service parking brake 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 pulled. If the switch is pulled 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 at the request of 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:
- Turn the vehicle on.
- Apply and hold the brake pedal.
- Press the EPB switch momentarily.
The EPB is released when the red parking brake status light is off. If the amber service parking brake 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.
Automatic EPB Release
The EPB will automatically release 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.
