Occupant protection has been the focusof much private and public research anddevelopment for many years. The seatbelts are incorporated into the vehiclesolely for the protection of theoccupants. The safety belts can protect

you and your passengers only if they areused.The safety belt information includedhere is intended for vehicle occupantsof adult size and for older children whohave outgrown booster seats.Be sure that if children are too small to

be well restrained by the safety beltsystem, that they are secured in anappropriate child restraint.

ALWAYS WEAR YOUR

SAFETY BELTS*

Safety belts are helpful for severaldistinct reasons:

1) Safety belts attach the occupants tothe vehicle so that they will not be

ejected during an accident.2) Safety belts attach the occupant to

the vehicle so that they can use thespace between their pre-crashseating position and the front of thevehicle to slow down to a stop moregradually, as their safety beltsstretch and the front end of thevehicle absorbs the energy of thecrash by crumpling.

3) Safety belts keep the driver in hisseat, so that the driver might have achance to regain control in certain

accident situations.4) Safety belts keep occupants from

being catapulted into and injuringthe driver and other occupants.

Why Wear Safety Belts?


26/177

22 Seats & Restraints

Warning

Safety belts have been shown tobe the single most effectiveprotection against injury or deathin a vehicular accident!

As the owner and driver of yourvehicle, you must make certainthat each occupant is properlywearing the safety belt provided atthe seating position.

Pregnant women, injured, and

physical ly impaired personsshould also wear safety belts. Likeall other occupants, they are morelikely to suffer serious injury ordeath, if they do not do so.

The best way to protect the foetusis to protect the mother.

Warning

Why safety belts work, how towear them, and how to adjust yourseat posi t ion properly, isexplained in this section. Read all

of the information provided andalways observe these instructionsand warnings in order to gain thefull benefit of these safetysystems.

Safety belts cannot work unless they areworn and worn properly.

Vehicle occupants are injured if theforces applied to the bodys structuresare greater than the body can toleratewithout being injured. If a personsbody is stopped abruptly, the forcesapplied to the body will be high,whereas if the body is slowed downgradually over some distance, theforces will be much lower. Thus, in

order to protect an occupant from injuryin a crash, the idea is to give the personas much time and distance as possible incoming to a stop.

Imagine a person running at 15 milesper hour (25 km/h) head first into a

concrete wall. Imagine a second personrunning at 15 miles per hour into a wallcovered by a 3-foot (90 cm) thickdeformable cushion. In the firstinstance the person could be seriouslyinjured or even killed. In the second, therunner could expect to walk away

How Safety Belts Work*


27/177


uninjured. Why? In the first instance,the body hit the non-yielding concretesurface and stopped immediately. All ofthe energy the sprinter built up wasabsorbed by the structures of the body,not by the non-yielding concrete

surface. In the second example, thebody had exactly the same amount ofenergy that had to be absorbed as in thefirst example, but it continued to moveinto the padding, giving the bodyadditional time and distance to slowdown to a complete stop as the padding

absorbed the sprinters energy bydeforming.

If a car crashes into a concrete wall at 30miles per hour (50 km/h), the frontbumper of the car stops immediately,but the passenger compartment stopsmore gradually as the front structure ofthe vehicle crumples. The beltedoccupant is held to the seat and gainsthe advantage of the cushion providedby the crumpling of the front of thevehicle and the stretching of the safetybelt webbing. That belted occupantsbody slows down from 50 km/h (30

mph) to zero over a distance of 90-120cm (3-4 feet). That belted occupant alsoremains properly positioned so that, ifthe air bag (if provided) deploys in afrontal collision, the occupant mightnever strike any rigid structures in the

vehicle. The unbelted occupantreceives no such benefit. The unbeltedperson is not attached to the vehicle andso that person continues to travel at thevehicles pre-crash speed of 30 milesper hour (50 km/h) until striking a hardobject at approximately 30 miles per

hour (50 km/h) and stopping abruptly.Even in a frontal collision in which theair bag (if provided) deploys, theunbelted front seat occupant remains atgreater risk of serious injury or deaththan the properly restrained front seatoccupant.

Warning

SAFETY BELTS PROTECT

Accident statistics show that driversand passengers properly wearingsafety belts have a lower risk ofbeing injured and a higher chance ofsurviving an accident. For thisreason, wearing a safety belt islegally required in most countries.

WEARING THE SAFETY BELT

Each front seat and each outboard

rear seat of your CHEVROLETvehicle is equipped with a three-point safety belt system that isanchored at three locations. All frontand rear seat belts are stored andlocked by a retractor mechanism.When set in its normal emergency

locking mode, the three-point safetybelt requires no length adjustmentand allows freedom of movementwhen the vehicle moves at constantspeeds.

(Continued)


28/177

Warning

However in a sudden or strong stop,or during heavy acceleration ordeceleration, the safety belt will lockautomatically to restrain the body.

In order to gain the full benefit of asafety belt, you must wear itcorrectly and position yourselfcorrectly within your seat, asfollows:

Seatback upright (not reclined, to

prevent you from submariningor slipping out from under thesafety belt, and injuring vulnera-ble body parts in a crash.)

Occupant sitting upright (notslouched, to properly position thelap and shoulder portions of the

safety belt for maximum restraintand minimum injury to soft andvulnerable parts of your body in acrash)

(Continued)

Warning

Safety belt latch plate and bucklesecurely fastened with a click(ifthe safety belt is not securelylatched, it cannot provide any

protection; pull on the belt tomake sure it is secure)

Lap portion of safety belt snugand low on hips and bony pelvis(not abdomen where the restrain-ing belt could cause serious injuryi n a c r a s h T H I S I SPARTICULARLY IMPORTANTFOR PREGNANT WOMEN)

Shoulder portion of the safetybelts over your outside shoulderand snug against the chest (notunder an arm, around your neck,

over an inside shoulder or behindyour back, and not loose withslack allowing excessive forwardmovement and injury in a crash)

(Continued)

Warning

Only one occupant per one safetybelt (do not allow more than oneperson in a safety belt; multiplepeople in a single safety belt can

exceed the capacity of the safetybelts and people sharing a safetybelt can cause crushing and otherinjuries to each other in a crash)

Children in secure child seats (in acrash the forces are too great for anadult to hold onto a child and theadult will crush the child if theyshare the same safety belt)

No unbelted occupants (occu-pants not wearing a safety belt arean injury threat to themselves andto other occupants in the vehicle

because in a crash they become afree-flying body that will strikeother persons in their path)

(Continued)



29/177


Warning

No twisted safety belts (twistedsafety belts will not move freelyand restrain properly and can cutinto the occupants rather than

spread the force, thus increasingthe risk of injury and death)

Lock doors (unlocked doorsincrease the risk of injury anddeath from external impacts andejection in a crash)

Warning

Make periodic checks (whileriding in the vehicle, check fromtime to time to be sure that the lapportion of the belt is snugly across

the hips and has not ridden uparound the waist and that theshoulder portion is midway overthe shoulder and across the chest;properly positioned belts allowthe stronger structures of the hipsand shoulders to absorb the forces

of the belt against the body, whileimproperly positioned belts maycause neck injury or injury to thevulnerable organs in the abdomi-nal area).

No hard or breakable objects,between safety belts and body

parts (objects such as pens,glasses, etc. in the occupantspocket or on the cloth can causeinjury in the event of a collision)

(Continued)

Warning

Improper use of a safety belt cancause serious injury. Do notmodify the safety belt. Do not addany device which would affect the

operation of the safety belt. Before you close the door, make

sure the safety belt is out of theway. Otherwise, the belt and/or thevehicle body could be damaged.

Warning

If the safety belt goes over an armrest(if so equipped), lap portion of thesafety belt could force the occupantsabdomen, not the bony pelvis, in acollision.

Be sure that the safety belt goesunder the armrests.

Failure to follow this can result ininjuries or even death in case of acollision.


30/177


Each front seat is equipped withadjustable seat and seatback withheight-adjustable head restraint andthree point lap-and-shoulder safetybelts.

REAR SEAT OCCUPANTS

The rear seat is equipped with twooutboard seating positions featuringthree-point lap-and-shoulder safetybelts and a center seat equipped with alap safety belt.

THREE-POINT SAFETYBELTS

To help reduce the risk of personalinjury in collisions or suddenmanoeuvres, your CHEVROLETvehicle is equipped with three-point

safety belts. The two front seats and thetwo outboard rear seating positions areeach equipped with three-point safetybelts. These safety belts are eachanchored in three locations to restrainpassengers who are properly positionedand wearing the safety belt.

FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS

A three-point safety belt set in the ELR /WLR (Emergency Locking Retractor /Webbing Locking Retractor) moderequires no length adjustment andallows the freedom of body movementwhen the vehicle moves at a constant

speed.However, in the event of a sudden ors trong s top, or during heavyacceleration or deceleration, the safetybelt will lock automatically to restrainthe body.

Always fasten your safety beltscorrectly:

1. Close and lock the doors.

2. Make sure seatback is upright.

3. Pick up the safety belt latch plate

and use it to pull the belt across yourbody. Make sure the belt is nottwisted. If the safety belt locks asyou are pulling it out, allow it torewind into the retractor. Pull thesafety belt out again to acomfortable and secure length.


31/177


4. Position the shoulder belt midwayover the shoulder and across thechest. Never place the shoulder beltacross the neck. This assures that inthe case of a collision, the beltapplies force to the shoulder bones

and keeps the impact away fromribs or neck, helping to avoidserious internal injuries.

5. Wear the lap belt low and snug onthe hips, not the waist. This assuresthat in the case of a collision, the

belt applies force to the pelvicbones and not the abdomen, helpingto avoid serious injuries.

6. Push the latch plate firmly into thebuckle until the mechanism clicks.Make sure you are using the properbuckle. Be sure to position therelease button on the buckle so youcan unbuckle the safety belt quickly

if necessary.7. Pull up on the latch plate to make

sure it is secure.

To remove the safety belt, press therelease button on the buckle. Thebelt will retract automatically.

Guide the safety belt as it retracts toprevent the latch plate fromdamaging interior surfaces orinjuring occupants.

Maintain your safety belts:

1. Periodically inspect all safety belts,related parts, and assemblies. Havet h e s e r e p l a c e d b y y o u r CHEVROLET retailer if any safetybelts, assemblies or related parts aredamaged.

2. You must replace any safety belt orrelated part that has been stretchedor damaged in an accident, even ifthe stretching or damage is notobvious or visible. Stretched belts

and damaged parts do not performeffectively. Replacement of safetybelts must be with new belts only.

3. C H EV R OL E T r e co m me n dsreplacing the entire safety beltassembly after your vehicle hasbeen in a collision. If your

CHEVROLET retailer finds that nosafety belt damage has occurred andthat everything is in proper workingorder, you need not make anyreplacement.

vehicle with damaged safety beltsor other parts.

Failure to make appropriate repairsmay result in additional damage to

your vehicle or personal injuries.

PREGNANT WOMEN AND

SAFETY BELTSSafety belts work for everyone,including pregnant women.

Like all occupants, pregnant women aremore likely to be seriously injured ifthey do not wear safety belts. Inaddition, when a safety belt is wornproperly, it is more likely that theunborn child will be safe in a crash.

To provide maximum protection, apregnant woman should wear a three-point safety belt. She should wear thelap portion of the belt as low as possible

throughout her pregnancy.

AIR BAG SYSTEM (OPTION)

Your vehicle is equipped with an air bagsupplemental restraint system (SRS)designed to protect properly seated andrestrained front seat occupants. Boththe driver and front passenger seatingpositions are equipped with driver and

passenger air bags and side air bags (ifso equipped), in addition to three-pointsafety belts and other safety features.Each air bag is specially packed in amodule, from which the air bag isdesigned to inflate and deploy atextremely high speed and force in the

event your vehicle is involved in certaintypes of collisions which pose a highrisk of serious injury or death to thedriver and passengers.

Warning

If handled improperly the airbagsystems can be triggered in anexplosive manner.

The driver should sit back as far as

possible while still maintainingcontrol of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, it cancause death or serious injury when itinflates.

For maximum safety protection in alltypes of crashes, all occupantsincluding the driver should alwayswear their safety belts to minimizethe risk of severe injury or death inthe event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.

The air bag may cause facial or bodyscratch, injury by broken glasses orgetting a burn by explosion while airbag is deployed.

Warning

The airbag systems and belt tensionercontrol electronics are located in thecenter console area. Do not put anymagnetic objects in this area.

Do not stick anything on the airbagcovers and do not cover them withother materials.Each airbag is triggered only once.Have deployed airbags replaced by aworkshop.Do not make any modifications to the

airbag system as this will invalidatethe vehicle type approval.In the event of airbag deploymenthave the steering wheel, theinstrument panel, all paneling parts,the door seals, the handles and theseats removed by a workshop.

When an air bag deploys, there maybe a loud noise and smoke. Theseconditions are normal and are notdangerous but in case it may irritateskin of the passenger. If the irritationis continued, contact a doctor.




38/177

Danger

Never allow children or infants andpregnant women and the old and theweak sit in the front passenger seatsfitted with airbags.

Furthermore, do not drive with a babyseat fitted thereon. In case of anaccident, the impact from the inflatedairbag can cause facial injury ordeath.

Caution

If the vehicle is impacted by bumpsor objects on unpaved roads orsidewalks, the air bag may inflate.Drive slowly on the surfaces notdesigned for vehicle traffic toprevent unintended air bag deploy-

ment.Control indicator for airbag systems.

See Airbag and safety belt tensionerlighton page 57.

Drivers And FrontPassengers Air Bag (option)

Drivers air bag (option)

The drivers air bag module is locatedin the center of the steering wheel.

Front passengers air bag (option)

The passengers air bag module islocated in the instrument panel, abovethe glove box.

Warning

Air bags are only a supplementalrestraint, and are most effective incombination with safety belts.

All occupants, including the driver,

should always wear their safety belts,whether or not an air bag is alsoprovided at their seating position, tominimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash.

Air bags do not deploy in side orrear collisions. Occupants notwearing their safety belts will notbe protected by any restraintsystem, resulting in severe injuriesor death in these types ofcollisions.

Occupants who are not properly

wearing their safety belts may bethrown forward by braking beforeimpact, placing their bodies nearor against the air bag modules.This can cause severe injury fromthe force of an air bagsdeployment.

How air bags work

Air bags are designed to keep yourhead, neck, and chest from slamminginto the instrument panel, steeringwheel or windshield in a front-endcrash. They are not designed to inflatein rear-end or rollover crashes or inmost side-impact crashes. Your air bagsare designed to deploy in crashes thatare equivalent to, or exceed the force ofa vehicle traveling at a speed of 15 to23 km/h (9.3 ~ 14.3 mph) crashing intoa solid immovable wall.

The air bag system activates druing asevere collision which is either frontalor when the impact angle is up to 30from straight ahead.

This crash severity level at which the airbag will deploy was selected to assureinflation of air bags in our vehicles at orbelow the crash severity at which astatistical risk of death begins forfrontal collisions.

In the real world, cars rarely crashsquarely into immovable walls; air bagsmost often deploy when a vehiclecollides with another vehicle. Theactual speed at which the air bags willinflate may be higher in the real world,because real-world accidents usually

involve more complicated multi-vehicle impacts, angled impacts, andincomplete frontal impacts (e.g.sideswipes), and because the objectstruck is usually not immovable.

Note

An air bag can also inflate inmoderate to severe non-collisionsituations (e.g., slamming theundercarriage or other solidcomponent of the vehicle in a dip in

the driving surface) where the crashsensors generate a signal equivalentto a crash into a solid immovablebarrier at 15 to 23 km/h (9.3 ~ 14.3mph).




40/177

Air bags inflate when a sensor detects afront-end crash of a severity sufficientfor air bag deployment. The crashsensor sends an electric signal to initiatethe air bags inflation. A propellant isignited which rapidly burns inside the

air bag module, producing enoughnitrogen gas to fully inflate the air bag.The chemical process and nitrogen gasare harmless to the vehicles occupants.Within 0.045 seconds of the crashdetection, the pressure of the inflatingair bag splits open the plastic trim

covering on the module, which is scoredon the inside surface to allow the trim ofthe steering wheel hub or passenger-side instrument panel to split openunder force.

The air bag fully inflates to create asurface that can catch the forward

movement of the front occupants headand upper torso. As the occupant comesinto contact with the air bag, the gas inthe bag empties through holes at thebase of the bag to soak up the force fromthe occupants forward movement.

Note

Air bags cannot smother you andthey dont restrict your movement.Air bags have vents, so they deflateimmediately after cushioning you.

The entire process, from initial contactthrough the air bags inflation anddeflation, occurs within 0.2 seconds,faster than the blink of an eye. Becausethe collision is over in a fraction of asecond, and vehicles involved in anaccident usually come to the final pointof rest only one or two seconds afterinitial contact, the supplementalrestraint system must sense the crashand cause the air bags to deploy nearlyinstantaneously to protect the vehiclesoccupants.

After the air bag deflates, you maynotice a burning smell, smoke, andwhite powder in the interior of thevehicle. This is normal. The burning

smell is from the propellant that wasignited to inflate the airbag. The whitepowder is cornstarch or talcum orsodium compounds which lubricate theair bag to reduce friction on the air bagduring storage and inflation. Althoughthey may cause some skin or eye

irritation, these substances are not toxic.

After The Air Bag Deploys




41/177

Warning

Do not drive your vehicle after oneor more air bags have deployed.

Do not try to repair, alter, ordispose of the air bag yourself.

Air bags are installed under highpressure with sophisticated crashsensing and air bag inflatingsystems. Allowing an untrainedand unauthorized person to handlean air bag can lead to seriousinjuries and death.

Contact your dealer immediatelyif either of your vehicles air baghas deployed, if damage occurs toyour vehicle at or near either of theair bag modules, or if you believefor any reason that the operating

condition of either air bag hasbeen impaired.

Driving a vehicle after an air bag hasdeployed without authorized servicecan result in severe injuries anddeath.

Your Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) is virtually maintenance free.

However, if any of the followingoccurs, have your SRS serviced

immediately by an authorized dealer. Any of your air bags have deployed.

The air bag warning lamp indicatesmalfunction.

SRS Servicing

Vehicle occupants are usually injured ina collision because their bodies arethrown into a stationary object, either

inside the vehicle, such as the steeringwheel, instrument panel or windshield,or outside the vehicle, such as thedriving surface or a tree, when theoccupant is thrown from the vehicle.Severe injuries also occur by occupantsbeing jolted by the forces of the crash,

even without body contact with astationary object or surface

How Air Bags Protect FrontOccupants




42/177

All of these injuries are caused by theforce created by the collision as thevehicle is brought to a sudden stop. Thetime and distance which a vehicle isallowed in slowing or stopping in greatpart determines the severity of a

collisions effect on vehicle occupants.For example, when a vehicle brakes to astop at a red light, the occupants bodiesare forced forward. This is because boththe vehicle and its occupants areinitially traveling at the same speed.The brakes slow the vehicle, and the

occupants continue to move forwardsomewhat inside the vehicle. However,properly positioned and restrainedoccupants are rarely injured when avehicle comes to a stop by even suddenand hard braking. This is because evenhard braking allows a comparatively

long time and distance for the vehicle tostop. The safety belts and theoccupants strength are generallysufficient to safely counteract the forceof a braking stop.

In a crash, a vehicle may go fromhighway speed to a full stop in afraction of a second and in a distance ofless than one foot. This extremely shortstopping time and distance greatlyincreases the force placed upon the

occupants. No person has the strengthor reflexes to counteract this force.Even occupants properly positionedand wearing their safety belts will findtheir head, upper torso, arms, and hipsthrown forward at the speed the vehiclewas traveling before impact. In

moderate to severe frontal collisions,even occupants wearing safety beltscan sustain internal brain and organinjuries without the occupants head ortorso hitting any stationary objects orsurfaces.

Air bags provide additional stopping

time and distance for the head andupper torsos of front occupants inmoderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions. This additional timeand distance can save lives and preventserious injuries.

Besides their lifesaving benefits, the airbag system also poses some moderaterisks.

Because an air bag inflates withconsiderable force, speed andsuddenness, the air bag supplementalrestraint system will be safer and moreeffective if the occupants are properlypositioned in the vehicle.

Help Your Air Bags To ProtectYou*



43/177

Warning

Essential Air Bag Safety Rules: Never place a rear-facing child

seat in the front seat. Children age 12 years and under

should ride in the back seatwhenever possible. Always wear your safety belts,

even if your vehicle is notequipped with an air bag.

Move your seatback rearward asfar as is comfortable and safe, tilt

the seatback slightly and sitagainst the back of the seat. Do not place objects on, over or

near the air bag modules. They canbecome project i les duringinflation, causing severe injury.

Do not lean forward or rest any

part of your body on the trimcovering the air bag modules. Do not drive with the steering

column tilt adjusted fully upward.

Severe injury and death can resultfrom failing to observe these air bagsafety rules.

Always secure any rear-facing childseat in the back seat.

Child restraint systems in which thechild faces the rear of the seat mustnever be placed in the front seat. Thedeployment of an air bag risks severe

injury or death to a child in a rear-facingchild seat placed in the front seat.

Children should be seated in the backseat.

According to accident statistics,

children age 12 years and under aresafer when properly restrained in theback seat than in the front seat, andshould ride in the back seat wheneverpossible. Children are safer in the backseat only because of the risks of injuryby air bags. Studies have shown that

children are also safer in the back seatthan in a front seat without an air bag.

Proper positioning of adults andteenagers.

Adults and teenagers seated in the frontdriver and passenger seats can alsoimprove their safety and theeffectiveness of the air bags by using

proper seating positions.For the best seating position of adultsand teenagers:

Wear the three-point safety beltsat all times.

All occupants, including the driver,

should always wear their safetybelts whether or not an air bag isalso provided at their seatingposition to minimize the risk ofsevere injury or death in the event ofa crash.

Air bags do not deploy in rear and

side-impact collisions. Occupantsnot wearing their safety belts willnot be protected by any restraintsystem, resulting in severe injuriesor death in these types of collisions.



44/177

Occupants who are not properlywearing their safety belts may bethrown forward by braking beforeimpact, placing their bodies near oragainst the air bag modules. Thiscan cause severe injury from the

force of air bags deployment. Move the back of the seat rearward

as far back as is comfortable andsafe.

Positioning your seat farther awayfrom the air bag module will notdecrease the effectiveness of the airbag. Greater distance from themodule means greater protectionfrom the air bags forceful andsudden deployment. Never movethe drivers seatback so far as toimpair the drivers ability tocomfortably reach the steeringwheel, pedals and other instrumentand controls.

Tilt the safety belt slightly and donot lean forward.

Tilt the seatback slightly, and sitwith your back against the back of

the seat. Do not lean or otherwiseposition your body close - within 15cm(6 inch) - to the air bag module.Do not rest any part of your body onor near the plastic trim covering theair bag module (the hub of the

steering wheel or the passenger sideof the instrument panel above theglove box). Try to keep your headand body more than 25 to 30 cm (10to 12 inches) away from the air bag.More distance is safer.

Warning

To perform well, an air bag mustdeploy quickly. The force is greatestin the first 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) afterthe air bag bursts through its cover

and begins to inflate. Those 2 to 3inches immediately after the air bagbursts through its module cover andbegins to inflate are the risk zone. If an occupants body is in this risk

zone when the air bag deploys,severe injury or even death could

result. The force decreases as the air baginflates farther from the modulecover.

Greater distance from the air bagmodule means greater safetywhen the air bag deploys.



45/177

Do not place objects, children orpets between you and the air bagmodule.

Your vehicles air bag modules arelocated on the steering wheel and onthe instrument panel above the

glove box. Placing objects on, overor near the plastic trim coveringthese air bag modules could causethose objects to be propelled by theinflating air bag into your face andtorso causing serious injury.

Children and pets should never rideon another occupants lap. Do notplace objects which could causeinjury during deployment on anoccupants lap.

Tilt the steering wheel downward(if so equipped), pointing the air bag

toward your chest instead of yourhead and neck.

Never position the steering wheel atthe highest position. This positionshould only be used to allow easyentry and exit from the drivers seat.Lower the steering before starting

to drive. This will aim the air bagat the drivers chest, rather than themore easily injured head and neck.

Note

The fact that your vehicle may beseverely damaged and the air bagsdid not inflate or the fact that thevehicle is relatively undamaged andthe air bag did inflate does notnecessarily mean that there issomething wrong with your air bagsystem. The crash sensors detect theseverity of the crash, not the amountof damage to the vehicle.
