In a 2017 Chevy Malibu, the parking brake is an electronic switch positioned beside the gear selector. It is a compact switch labeled with a P enclosed in a circle. Unlike traditional parking brakes with a handle or pedal, this electronic system is engaged and disengaged using a switch. Typically, the parking brake will deactivate automatically when shifting into reverse or drive, providing a more user-friendly experience compared to manual cable operation.
The parking brake on the 2017 Chevy Malibu is situated between the two front seats.
