In the 2016 Chevy Malibu, you can find the parking brake in the center console to the right of the gear shift. The button is labeled with a P, and pressing it will activate the parking brake, indicated by an amber light. The car features an electronic parking brake (EPB) that will automatically disengage when the vehicle is in motion if accidentally left on. Remember to avoid leaving the EPB engaged when the ignition is off to prevent draining the battery. When you activate the EPB, it will flash and then remain on when fully engaged. Continuous flashing indicates a partial application or a potential switch issue.
