AEB may slow the vehicle to a complete
stop to try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, AEB may engage the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle at a
stop. Release the EPB or firmly press the
accelerator pedal.
{Warning
AEB may automatically brake the vehicle
suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It could
respond to a turning vehicle ahead,
guardrails, signs, and other non-moving
objects. To override AEB, firmly press the
accelerator pedal, if it is safe to do so.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
IBA may activate when the brake pedal is
applied quickly by providing a boost to
braking based on the speed of approach and
distance to a vehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal and
the brake pedal should continue to be
applied as needed. IBA will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is
released.
{Warning
IBA may increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be necessary.
You could block the flow of traffic. If this
occurs, take your foot off the brake pedal
and then apply the brakes as needed.
AEB and IBA can be disabled. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems.
{Warning
Using AEB or IBA 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.
A system unavailable message may
display if:
.The front of the vehicle or windshield is
not clean.
.Heavy rain or snow is interfering with
object detection.
.There is a problem with the StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.
The AEB system does not need service.
Intersection Automatic Emergency
Braking (I-AEB) System
If equipped, the I-AEB system may help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes with crossing vehicles,
or when performing a left-hand turn.
The system works when driving in a forward
gear above 15 km/h (9 mph) and less than
80 km/h (50 mph). It can detect oncoming
vehicles up to approximately 60 m (197 ft).
{Warning
I-AEB is an emergency crash preparation
feature. Do not rely on I-AEB to brake or
avoid crashes. I-AEB will not brake outside
of its operating speed range and only
responds to detected intersecting
vehicles. I-AEB may not:
.detect a crossing or oncoming vehicle
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. (Continued)

268 Driving and Operating
Without Head-Up Display
When the vehicle approaches a pedestrian
or bicyclist ahead too rapidly, the red FPB
alert display will flash on the windshield.
Eight rapid high-pitched beeps will sound
from the front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times. When this
Pedestrian 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. Cruise control may be
disengaged when the Front Pedestrian Alert
occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to crash into a
pedestrian or bicyclist directly ahead, and
the brakes have not been applied, FPB may
automatically brake moderately or brake
hard. This can help to avoid some very low
speed pedestrian and bicyclist crashes or
reduce pedestrian injury. FPB can automatically brake to detected pedestrians
or bicyclists between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic braking levels
may be reduced under certain conditions,
such as higher speeds.
FPB may slow the vehicle to a complete
stop to try and avoid a potential collision
with a pedestrian or bicyclist. If this
happens, automatic braking may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the
vehicle at a stop. Firmly press the
accelerator pedal to release automatic
braking and the EPB.
{Warning
FPB may alert or automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It could falsely
alert or brake for objects similar in shape
or size to pedestrians or bicyclists,
including shadows. This is normal
operation and the vehicle does not need
service. To override Automatic Braking,
firmly press the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled through
vehicle settings. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems..
{Warning
Using the Front Pedestrian Braking
system 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 FPB does not seem to operate properly,
cleaning the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror may correct the
issue.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
The SBZA system is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding crashes that
occur with moving vehicles in the side blind
zone, or blind spot areas. When the vehicle
is in a forward gear, the left or right side
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in that blind zone. If the
turn signal is activated and a vehicle is also
detected on the same side, the display will

headlamps (if enabled), charge port light
turns on, and an audible chirp occurs.
See Charging Status Feedback 0283.
Caution
Do not attempt to disconnect the DC
vehicle plug while charging is active. This
action may damage the vehicle or
charging station hardware.
To Stop DC Charging —Automatic
When the vehicle no longer needs power
from the charging station, it stops charging
and the DC vehicle plug unlocks from the DC
charge port. Energy can still be consumed from the
charging station when the vehicle displays
and indicators show that the battery is fully
charged. This is to ensure the battery is in
optimal temperature operating range to
maximize vehicle range. See
Charging0123.
To End DC Charging
When the vehicle is fully charged, charging
automatically stops and the plug unlocks.
You can also manually stop charging using
the button on the DC vehicle plug, the
controls at the charging station or by
tapping "Stop" on the Charging page on
your infotainment screen.
If the vehicle plug does not unlock from the
vehicle charge port after a charge, contact
Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Assistance
Program 0399.
1. Unplug the DC vehicle plug from the DC charge port on the vehicle and close the

294 Driving and Operating
Driving Characteristics and
Towing Tips
{Warning
You can lose control when towing a
trailer if the correct equipment is not
used or the vehicle is not driven properly.
For example, if the trailer is too heavy or
the trailer brakes are inadequate for the
load, the vehicle may not stop as
expected. You and others could be
seriously injured. The vehicle may also be
damaged, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Pull a
trailer only if all the steps in this section
have been followed. Ask your dealer for
advice and information about towing a
trailer with the vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Trailering is different than just driving the
vehicle by itself. Trailering affects handling,
acceleration, braking, and durability.
Successful and safe trailering requires proper
use of the correct equipment.The following information has many
time-tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are important
for your safety and that of your passengers.
Read this section carefully before towing a
trailer.
When towing a trailer:
.Become familiar with, and follow all state
and local laws that apply to trailer
towing. These requirements vary from
state to state.
.State laws may require the use of
extended side view mirrors. If your
visibility is limited or restricted while
towing, install extended side view mirrors
on your vehicle, even if not required.
.Do not tow a trailer during the first
800 km (500 mi) of vehicle use to prevent
damage to vehicle.
.Do not drive over 800 km/h (50 mph) and
do not make starts at full throttle during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of trailer
towing.
.Tow in D (Drive). Tow/Haul Mode is
recommended for heavier trailers. See
Driver Mode Control
0209.
.One-Pedal Driving can be a useful feature
when towing. See One-Pedal Driving
0 203. The following advanced driver assistance
features should be turned off when towing
a trailer, and may turn off automatically
when a trailer is detected:
.Park Assist
.Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
.Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
.Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB)
.Lane Change Alert (LCA)
.Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC), unless equipped with trailering
functionality, see
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0217.
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and
Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB) should be set
to Alert unless equipped with Super Cruise.
Do not use Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
while towing a trailer.
Towing a trailer requires experience. The
combination of the vehicle and trailer is
longer and not as responsive as the vehicle
itself. Become familiar with handling and
braking of the combination by driving on a
level road surface before driving on public
roads.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
Driving and Operating 295
The trailer structure, the tires, and the
brakes must be all be rated to carry the
intended cargo. Inadequate trailer
equipment can cause the combination to
operate in an unexpected or unsafe manner.
Before driving, inspect all trailer hitch parts
and attachments, safety chains, electrical
connectors, lamps, tires, and mirrors. See
Towing Equipment0301. If the trailer has
electric brakes, start the combination
moving and then manually apply the trailer
brake controller to check the trailer brakes
work. During the trip, occasionally check
that the cargo and trailer are secure and
that the lamps and any trailer brakes are
working.
Towing with a Stability Control System
When towing, the stability control system
might be heard. The system reacts to
vehicle movement caused by the trailer,
which mainly occurs during cornering. This is
normal when towing heavier trailers.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle
ahead as you would when driving without a
trailer to help to avoid heavy braking and
sudden turns.
Passing
More passing distance is needed when
towing a trailer. The combination of the
vehicle and trailer will not accelerate as
quickly and is much longer than the vehicle
alone. It is necessary to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before returning
to the lane. Pass on level roadways. Avoid
passing on hills if possible.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with
one hand. To move the trailer to the left,
move that hand to the left. To move the
trailer to the right, move that hand to the
right. Always back up slowly and, if possible,
have someone guide you.
Making Turns
Caution
Turn more slowly and make wider arcs
when towing a trailer to prevent damage
to your vehicle. Making very sharp turns
could cause the trailer to contact the
vehicle. Make wider turns than normal when towing,
so the trailer does not go over soft
shoulders, over curbs, or strike road signs,
trees, or other objects. Always signal turns
well in advance. Do not steer or brake
suddenly.
Driving on Grades
Reduce speed before starting down a long or
steep downhill grade. Use regenerative
braking to help slow the vehicle or maintain
speed by keeping the vehicle in gear and
limiting the initial battery charge to 80% or
less. Avoid using Regen on Demand. See
Hill
and Mountain Roads 0190.
Viewing Systems
If equipped, the viewing systems on the
vehicle can improve visibility while hitching,
backing up, and driving with a trailer. See
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems 0244.
Parking on Hills
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or death,
always park your vehicle and trailer on a
level surface when possible.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
296 Driving and Operating
When parking your vehicle and trailer on
a hill:1. Press and hold the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park). Turn the wheels
toward the curb if facing downhill or
toward traffic if facing uphill.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place, gradually release the brake pedal to
allow the chocks to absorb the load of
the trailer.
4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the electric parking brake and shift into
P (Park).
5. Release the brake pedal.
Leaving After Parking on a Hill
1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
.Start the vehicle.
.Shift into the desired gear.
.Release the parking brake.
2. Let up on the brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
Launching and Retrieving a Boat
Backing the Trailer into the Water
{Warning
.Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle before backing onto the sloped
part of the ramp. Lower the driver and
passenger side windows before
backing onto the ramp. This will
provide a means of escape in the
unlikely event the vehicle slides into
the water.
.If the boat launch surface is slippery,
have the driver remain in the vehicle
with the brake pedal applied while the
boat is being launched. The boat
launch can be especially slippery at
low tide when part of the ramp was
previously submerged at high tide. Do
not back onto the ramp to launch the
boat if you are not sure the vehicle
can maintain traction.
.Do not move the vehicle if someone is
in the path of the trailer. Some parts
of the trailer might be underwater and
not visible to people who are assisting
in launching the boat. Disconnect the trailer wiring before backing
the trailer into the water to prevent damage
to the electrical circuits. Reconnect the
wiring to the trailer after removing the
trailer from the water. If the trailer has
electric brakes that can function when the
trailer is submerged, it might help to leave
the electrical trailer connector attached to
maintain trailer brake functionality while on
the boat ramp.
To back the trailer into the water:
1. Slowly back down the boat ramp until the boat is floating, but no further than
necessary.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park).
3. Have someone place chocks under the front wheels of the vehicle.
4. Gradually release the brake pedal to allow the chocks to absorb the load of
the trailer.
5. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking brake and shift into P (Park).
6. Release the brake pedal.

Trailer Lamps
Always check that all trailer lamps are
working at the beginning of each trip, and
periodically on longer trips.
If equipped, the Trailering App will monitor
the right-hand turn/brake lamp circuit,
left-hand turn/brake lamp circuit, running
lamp circuit, and reverse lamp circuits on
the trailer. DIC messages and Trailering App
alerts may be displayed if lighting circuit
issues are detected on the trailer.
If a trailer cannot be detected, the
trailer-related DIC messages and/or
Trailering App alerts will not display.
Pressing START LIGHT TEST in the Trailering
App automatically activates trailer lamps.
The Trailering App is not a substitute for
manually inspecting your trailer lamps. See
Trailering App0310.
Trailer Connection and Lamp Messages
When a trailer is properly connected and
working, no trailer connection or lamp
messages appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). However, if the vehicle detects
an issue with a trailer connection or lamp,
you may see the following DIC message(s):
.TRAILER DISCONNECTED CHECK
CONNECTION appears when a connected
trailer is disconnected. It appears
immediately when the vehicle is on,
or upon the next start-up if the trailer
was disconnected while the vehicle was
off. Check the trailer connection as
appropriate.
.CHECK TRAILER XXX LAMP appears when
there is a detected lamp or wiring fault
on the trailer. Check the trailer wiring and
lamps.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When properly connected, the trailer turn
signals will illuminate to indicate the vehicle
is turning, changing lanes, or stopping.
When towing a trailer, the arrows on the
instrument cluster will illuminate even if the
trailer is not properly connected or the bulbs
are burned out.
Tow/Haul Mode
For instructions on how to enter Tow/Haul
mode, see Driver Mode Control 0209.
Tow/Haul mode assists when pulling a
heavy trailer or a large or heavy load. Tow/Haul mode is designed to be most
effective when the vehicle and trailer
combined weight is at least 75% of the
vehicle's Gross Combined Weight Rating
(GCWR). See
“Maximum Trailer Weight”
under Trailer Towing 0297.
Tow/Haul mode is most useful when towing
a heavy trailer or carrying a large or
heavy load:
.through rolling terrain
.in stop-and-go traffic
.in busy parking lots
Integrated Trailer Brake Control System
The vehicle may have an Integrated Trailer
Brake Control (ITBC) system for use with
electric trailer brakes or most electric over
hydraulic trailer brake systems. These
instructions apply to both types of electric
trailer brakes.

a maximum of two minutes to detect and
label each TTPMS sensor. After each sensor
is learned, a check mark appears next to the
tire, the vehicle horn sounds, the vehicle
brake lamps flash, and all working trailer
lamps flash.
The recommended tire pressure must be
entered for the trailer tires. An alert appears
when a trailer tire's pressure is high or low.
Tool Method: A TTPMS activation tool can
be purchased separately to learn the trailer
TTPMS sensor locations.
Manual Method: Without the TTPMS
activation tool, the air pressure can be
increased or decreased in each tire for
10 seconds. Do not exceed the maximum
