2022 Denali Quirk Number 2

[WalleyeMikeIII]

From the Owners Manual:

Automatic EPB Release

The EPB automatically releases if the vehicle is running, placed into gear, and an attempt is made to drive. Avoid rapid acceleration when the EPB is applied to preserve parking brake lining life.

Not to come off like a jerk, as that is not intent. (They say of you have to issue a disclaimer, you probably are. Trust me, I’m truly just suggesting something that was helpful for me).

@GMCnewbee, that 500+ page book in your glove box truly is worth the read. It is also available as a download from GMC in a linked PDF (so you can click on index and table of contents entries and jump to them). The latter is how I consumed mine, put it on my iPad and got through it cover to cover in about a week.

Definitely uncovered a few things I didn’t know, and firmed up how many of the features I was familiar with work.

Thanks so much for helping me out with this. I tried it today and YES! When you shift to Drive or Reverse and the Brake light is still on, a little dab of the throttle and off it goes. I had not yet figured that out. I was also being very careful because my 2021 Jeep had an electric brake that did not work that way. There is so much to learn and I have spent some time in the Owner's Manual looking for other topics. Had not gotten to the Parking Brake yet. You know the saying, "you don't know what you don't know".
