The Chevrolet Colorado is designed to carry out light industrial works. In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force at your abdomen. Page 30 What is wrong with this? The belt is buckled in the wrong place. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. Page 31 What is wrong with this? The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury.
Page 32 What is wrong with this? The belt is twisted across the body. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces.
The belt should go back out of the way. When the safety belt is not in use, slide the latch plate up the safety belt webbing. The latch plate should rest on the stitching on the safety belt, near the guide loop on the side wall. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible, below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
When you sit in the center front seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor. To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt. Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts. Rear passengers who are not safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle in a crash.
Page 37 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. When the shoulder belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and start again. Page 38 The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you would be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
For outboard seating positions, when the safety belt is not in use, slide the latch plate up the safety belt webbing. Page 40 2. Slide the guide under and past the belt. The elastic cord must be under the belt. Then, place the guide over the belt and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide.
The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. Page Safety Belt Pretensioners Safety Belt Pretensioners Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the driver and right front passenger. Although you cannot see them, they are part of the safety belt assembly.
They help tighten the safety belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal or near frontal crash if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met. What is the proper way to wear safety belts? An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can not properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by only one person at a time. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Page 48 What are the different types of add-on child restraints?
Page 50 A rear-facing infant seat B provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window. Be sure the airbag is off before using a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat position.
Page Lower Anchors And Tethers For Children Latch Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle — even when no child is in it. Page 57 Lower Anchors Lower anchors A are metal bars built into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for each LATCH seating position that will accommodate a child restraint with lower attachments B.
Page 58 Some child restraints that have a top tether are designed for use with or without the top tether being attached. Others require the top tether always to be attached. In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be attached. Page 59 Seating positions with top tether anchors. Front Seat — Regular and Extended Cab without Rear Seats For crew cab models, there are exposed metal lower anchors for each rear outboard seating position, located where the seatback meets the back of the seat cushion.
For extended cab models with rear seats, there Top Tether Anchor : are exposed metal lower anchors for each Page 60 Crew Cab The top tether anchors in a crew cab model are located on the back wall behind each rear seating position. Be sure to use an anchor located on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed.
Extended Cab — Page 61 Regular and Extended Cab without Rear Seats For regular and extended cab models without rear seats, there is a top tether anchor located behind a removable cover on the back wall behind the right front passenger seat. You may have to pull the seatback forward to access the anchor. In a crash, the child could be seriously injured or killed.
Page 63 CAUTION: Children can be seriously injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck and the safety belt continues to tighten. Secure any unused safety belts behind the child restraint so children cannot reach them.
Pull the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock, if your vehicle has one, after the child restraint has Page 64 Crew Cab — Rear Seat 1. Put the child restraint on the seat. Refer to the child restraint instructions and the following steps: 2. Attach the top tether to the anchor A. Make sure that you secure the top tether to the top tether anchor and not to the seatback latch B.
Page 66 Extended Cab — Rear Seat 1. Attach and tighten the lower attachments to the lower anchors. If the child restraint does not have lower attachments or the desired seating position does not have lower anchors, secure the child restraint with the top tether and the safety belts. Page 67 3. Tighten the lower anchor attachments and the top tether. The child restraint instructions will show you how. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure.
Page Securing A Child Restraint In A Rear Seat Position If the position you are using has an adjustable head restraint and you are using a single tether, raise the head restraint and route the tether under the head restraint and in between the head restraint posts.
Page 69 3. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.
Page 70 6. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion of the belt, and feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat. Page 74 You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the child restraint in this position.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say. Page 75 5. If your vehicle does not have rear seats and if your child restraint has a top tether, attach the top tether to the top tether anchor. Page Airbag System 9. If a child restraint has been installed and the on indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Page 77 Airbags are designed to supplement the protection provided by safety belts.
Page Where Are The Airbags There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See Airbag Readiness Light on page for more information. Where Are the Airbags? If your vehicle has a roof-mounted side impact airbag for the driver and the person seated directly behind the driver, it is located in the ceiling above the side windows.
Page 81 If your vehicle has a roof-mounted side impact airbag for the right front passenger and the person seated directly behind that passenger, it is located in the ceiling above the side windows. Deployment thresholds take into account a variety of desired deployment and non-deployment events and are used to predict how severe a crash is likely to be in If your vehicle has side impact airbags, it has electronic side sensors.
In an impact of sufficient severity, the airbag sensing system detects that the vehicle is in a crash. Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the right front passenger airbag. Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. Page 88 If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, never put a child in a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger seat unless the passenger airbag status indicator shows off and the airbag is off.
When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbag to be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is active.
Page 91 CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light in the instrument panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. There are parts of the airbag system in several places around your vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the airbag system.
Page Restraint System Check Restraint System Check Checking the Restraint Systems Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are working properly.
Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see anything that might keep a safety belt system from doing its job, have it repaired. A damaged restraint system may not properly protect the person using it, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash. To help make sure your restraint systems are working properly after a crash, have them inspected and any necessary replacements made as Page 98 Section 2 Mirrors They could operate the power windows or other controls or even make the vehicle move.
