Cadillac 2010 Escalade Hybrid, Owner'S Manual Addendum

Page: 10 / 112

The braking system is computer controlled and blends
the regenerative braking with the conventional hydraulic
disc brakes to meet any requirements for deceleration.
Because the controller applies the hydraulic brakes
through its high pressure accumulator, you may
occasionally hear the motor driven pump when it
recharges the system. This is normal. In the event of a
controller problem, the brake pedal may be harder to
push and the stopping distance may be longer.
See Regenerative Braking, Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators and Driver Information Center (DIC) in the
owner manual.

This vehicle has a standard 12-volt battery and a
