StabiliTrak® / Traction Control System (TCS)
StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control With All-Speed Traction Control System (TCS)
Notice: StabiliTrak® and TCS turns ON automatically, every time the vehicle is started.
StabiliTrak® electronic stability control is standard on all models. It is an advanced computer controlled system that
assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
TCS is standard on all models. The system operates if it senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction.
The indicator light for both systems is in the instrument cluster
. This light will flash when TCS is limiting wheel spin
and flash when StabiliTrak® is activated. The light will turn ON and stay on when either system is not working.

Brakes
The Impala has four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel antilock brake system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution which ensures optimal braking force at both axles for maximum stability under heavy braking.
Brake Preparation
Uplevel models equipped with 20-inch wheels have the Brake Preparation feature which is used to quicken
response time of the brakes and help shorten stopping distances.
When quickly approaching a vehicle ahead, Brake Preparation reduces brake response time by having the brake
system prepared for driver braking to occur more rapidly.
This feature loads the brake calipers in anticipation of hard braking by slightly increasing the hydraulic pressure in
the brake lines whenever the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
Some vehicles have a Hill Start Assist (HSA) feature, which may be useful when the vehicle is stopped on a grade.
This feature is designed to temporarily prevent the vehicle from rolling, either forward or rearward, during vehicle
drive off. After the driver completely stops and holds the vehicle in a complete standstill on a grade, HSA will be
automatically activated. During the transition period between when the driver releases the brake pedal and starts to
accelerate to drive off on a grade, HSA holds the braking pressure to ensure that there is no rolling. The brakes will
automatically release within a two-second window of releasing the brake pedal, and the vehicle may begin to roll. It
will not activate if the vehicle is in a drive gear and facing downhill or if the vehicle is facing uphill and in R (Reverse).
HSA will activate on eAssist vehicles while in gear and facing down hill to assist in allowing a smooth auto start.
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
3283264
If equipped with an Electric Parking Brake (EPB), the switch is on the left side of the instrument panel. The EPB can
always be activated, even if the ignition is OFF. To prevent draining the battery, avoid repeated cycles of the EPB
when the engine is not running.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Be sure the vehicle is at a
complete stop.
2. Lift up 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, then the EPB is only partially applied or there is a problem with the EPB.
EPB Release
To release the EPB:
1. Place the ignition in the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Push down momentarily on the EPB switch.
The EPB is released when the red parking brake status light is OFF. If the amber parking brake warning light is ON,
release the EPB by pushing down on the EPB switch and holding it down. Continue to hold the switch until the
red parking brake status light is OFF.
Steering
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle has electric power steering. It does not have power steering fluid. Regular maintenance is not required.
If power steering assist is lost due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can be steered, but may require increased
effort. The electric variable-assist rack-and-pinion has a steering ratio of 15.2:1 and 2.73 steering wheel turns, lock
to lock.

Aerodynamics
Mirrors / Taillamps / Decklid
The Impala’s sculpted mirrors, tail lamps and decklid control and direct airflow smoothly and efficiently away from the
vehicle resulting in a 12 percent lower coefficient of drag than the previous model it replaces.
Electronically Controlled Shutters
3285806
On models equipped with either four-cylinder engine, electronically controlled shutters in the lower grille manage the
airflow going into the underhood based on engine cooling needs. At typical highway driving speeds the shutters
close and push more air over and around the vehicle, helping to increase aerodynamic efficiency and enhancing fuel
economy.
Front Fascia Lower Air Dam and Deflectors
Front fascia lower air dam and deflectors in front of each of the tires, optimally deflect air that normally adds
unwanted drag to the vehicle away from the tires and suspension.
Underbody Aero Panels
On models equipped with either four-cylinder engine, underbody aero panels improve airflow beneath the vehicle.
Acoustic Treatments to Reduce Noise
Air Leakage
A primary source of noise for all vehicles, air leakage has been reduced to approximately 75 cubic feet per minute
and is expected to be best in the segment.
Acoustic Windshield and Front Glass
Notice: DO NOT hang key lock boxes on any acoustic side glass.
This vehicle is equipped with a 5 mm acoustic-laminated windshield and 5 mm acoustic front side glass.
Acoustic windshields
are the same as a standard windshield, but they have been made with a thin, sound absorbing
technology between the glass that reduces the interior noise by 3dB overall, and even more in the frequency where
people "hear" the human voice.
This technology actually allows automakers to use thinner glass without sacrificing cabin comfort. A lighter
windshield also reduces the weight of the vehicle, which improves fuel economy and reduces the CO2 emissions
created by the engine.
Sculpted Exterior Mirrors / Triple Sealed Doors
Sculpted exterior mirrors reduce wind noise. Triple-sealed doors are used, which is an application that ensures
excellent wind/noise abatement into the passenger compartment.
Expanding Foam Acoustic Baffles
Strategically placed in cavities throughout the body structure, are 16 expanding-foam acoustic baffles, including
baffles between quarter outer and quarter inner to block noise from the trunk. The foam expands when the body
passes through the drying oven in the paint shop, filling the cavities to restrict or eliminate sound paths.
Acoustic-Perimeter Water Deflectors
Fully sealed, acoustic-perimeter water deflectors are in all four doors, a feature typically found only on luxury cars.
Floor Pan Sound Deadening Materials
Liquid-applied sound deadening and melt-on sound deadening materials are used on the floor pan and are key
enablers for reduced road noise and vibration underfoot.
Active Noise Cancellation
On models equipped with either four-cylinder engine, Active Noise Cancellation is used to combat engine noise. The
system uses interior mounted microphones to detect engine noise, the frequencies of which are processed by a
computer that directs counteracting sound waves through the audio system’s speakers and subwoofer to cancel the
noise.
Airbag System
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection provided by safety belts.
The vehicle has the following airbags:
• A frontal airbag for the driver.
• A frontal airbag for the front outboard passenger.
• A knee airbag for the driver.
• A knee airbag for the front outboard passenger.
• A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver.
• A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the front outboard passenger.
• Seat-mounted side impact airbags for the second row outboard passengers.
• A roof-rail airbag for the driver and the passenger seated directly behind the driver.
• A roof-rail airbag for the front outboard passenger and the passenger seated directly behind the front outboard
passenger.
Auto Defog
Auto Defog Operation
Only vehicles equipped with the dual automatic climate control system will have this option. When set to ON, the
front defog will automatically react to temperature and humidity conditions that may cause fogging.
When those conditions are detected, the climate control system may adjust to outside air supply and turn ON the air
conditioner. If the climate control system does not detect possible window fogging, it returns to normal operation.
Auto Defog may be turned ON or OFF in Vehicle Personalization.
Safety and Crash Avoidance
Depending on the model, the Impala has a network of cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors to help the driver avoid
crashes by improving their vision and awareness of road hazards, even braking automatically if sensors predict the
vehicle is at risk of crashing.
The control and alert technologies are described in the following:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) / Follow Distance Gap
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses radar technology to enhance traditional cruise control by enabling
the vehicle to maintain a driver selected follow distance gap and assisting the driver in avoiding following other
vehicles too closely. It automatically maintains the follow distance gap by controlling vehicle acceleration and
applying limited braking when needed, even slowing to a full stop behind a vehicle stopping ahead.
Even when using ACC, the driver is warned of the collision risk with a series of six flashing red lights that reflect off
the windshield and a series of front speaker beeps.
3285296
Press the follow distance gap button to select a follow distance gap (or time) setting for ACC of Far, Medium,
or Near.
Forward Collision Alert (FCA
) System
Notice: FCA
is a warning system only and does not apply the brakes.
If equipped, the Forward Collision Alert (FCA
) uses either radar mounted in the front grille or a high resolution digital
camera mounted on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror to identify vehicles and crash risk. The system then
uses audible warnings and a series of red flashing windshield
LED lights if a collision is imminent. Audio systems are
muted to make sure the alert is heard.
FCA
detects vehicles within a distance of approximately 197 ft (60 m) and operates at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/
h). If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect vehicles to a distance of approximately 360 ft
(110 m) and operates at all speeds.
Collision Mitigation Braking
If equipped, this Chevrolet
-first feature automatically applies the brakes to help avoid a front-end crash.
A radar mounted in the grille detects objects in front of the vehicle. If the driver does not react quickly enough to the
warnings from the Forward Collision Alert (FCA
) system — or doesn’t react at all, the system automatically applies
the brakes to avoid the crash or reduce impact speed.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system is a camera-based lane detection system that uses a camera sensor
mounted on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror to detect the lane markings. LDW warns the driver of
unintentional lane departures and may provide a warning if the vehicle is crossing a lane without using a turn signal.
Notice: LDW will not warn if the turn signal is ON or if a sharp maneuver is made.
If LDW is turned ON, the LDW indicator will appear green if the vehicle is traveling greater than 35 mph (56 km/h)
and the system detects a left or right lane marking. If the vehicle crosses a detected lane marking without using the
turn signal, this indicator will change to amber and flash. In addition, three beeps will be sounded from the left or right
side, depending on the lane departure direction.
Active Emergency Braking System
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) it also has the Active Emergency Braking System, which includes
the Automatic Collision Preparation (ACP) System.
Automatic Collision Preparation (ACP) System
ACP may help reduce crash damage by applying the vehicle’s brake system and has a detection range of
approximately 197 ft (60 m). Braking can only occur if a vehicle is detected ahead. This is shown by the FCA
vehicle-ahead indicator being lit.
• Brake Preparation: When quickly approaching a vehicle ahead, Brake Preparation reduces brake response
time by having the brake system prepared for driver braking to occur more rapidly.
• Automatic Braking: Automatic Braking applies the brakes, even if the driver has not applied the brakes, in
many imminent front-end crash situations to help reduce crash damage. It may even help avoid some crashes
at very low speeds. Automatic Braking may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to try to avoid a potential crash.
A firm press of the accelerator pedal will release Automatic Braking.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
Using radar sensors on both sides of the vehicle, the system looks for vehicles in the blind zone areas and indicates
their presence by illuminating symbols in the outside rear view mirrors.
2866901
The sensors cover a detection zone of approximately one lane over from both sides of the vehicle, approximately
11 ft (3.5 m) and extends rearward approximately 16 ft (5 m). The height of the zone is approximately between 1.5 ft
(0.5 m) and 6 ft (2 m) off the ground.
Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing / Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse), the Rear Vision Camera (RVC), Rear Parking Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA), if equipped, may help the driver to avoid a crash or to reduce crash damage. When the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse), the RVC displays an image of the area behind the vehicle in the center stack display.
2866870
Displayed images may be farther or closer than they appear. The area displayed is limited and objects that are close
to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper do not display. A warning triangle may display on the RVC screen
to show where the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) has detected an object. This triangle changes from amber
to red and increases in size the closer the object.
2866857
On vehicles with the Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), a red warning triangle with an arrow may also display on the
RVC screen to warn of traffic coming from either direction. This system detects objects coming from up to 66 ft (20 m)
from the left or right side of the vehicle. When an object is detected, three beeps sound from the left or right side,
depending on the direction of the detected vehicle. With URPA, as the vehicle backs up at speeds of less than 5 mph
(8 km/h), the system detects objects up to 8 ft (2.5 m) behind the vehicle that are within a zone 10 in (25 cm) high off
the ground and below bumper level.
Rear Vision Camera With Dynamic Guidelines Assists in Parking Maneuvers
Using the display in the center stack, with dynamic guidelines laid over the video image, a natural view of objects
directly behind the vehicle are provided The video image can be used to assist in parking maneuvers.
Safety Locks
When activated, the rear door safety locks prevent passengers from opening the rear doors from inside the vehicle.
The rear door power windows
are also disabled.
Press the safety locks button to activate the safety locks on the rear doors. The LED indicator light in the switch will
illuminate when activated.
Press the safety locks button again to deactivate the safety locks. The LED indicator light will turn OFF.
⇒ If the LED indicator light is flashing as a result of the rear door handle being partially engaged during
deactivation, press the safety locks button 2X to deactivate the flashing LED indicator light and the rear door
lockout.
Bluetooth® System
The in-vehicle Bluetooth® system allows users with a Bluetooth® enabled cellphone to make and receive
hands-free calls using the vehicle’s audio system, microphone and controls. The Bluetooth® enabled cellphone
MUST be paired with the vehicle Bluetooth® system BEFORE it can be used in the vehicle.
