Occupant protection has been the focus of much private and public research and development for many years. The seat belts are incorporated into the vehicle solely for the protection of the occupants. The safety belts can protect you and your passengers only if they are used. The safety belt information included here is intended for vehicle occupants of adult size and for older children who have outgrown booster seats. Be sure that if children are too small to be well restrained by the safety belt system, that they are secured in an appropriate child restraint.
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SAFETY BELTS*
Safety belts are helpful for several
distinct reasons:
1) Safety belts attach the occupants to the 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 the space between their pre-crash seating position and the front of the vehicle to slow down to a stop more gradually, as their safety belts stretch and the front end of the vehicle absorbs the energy of the crash by crumpling.
3) Safety belts keep the driver in his seat, so that the driver might have a chance to regain control in certain accident situations.
4) Safety belts keep occupants from being catapulted into and injuring the driver and other occupants.
Why Wear Safety Belts?
22 Seats & Restraints
Warning
• Safety belts have been shown to be the single most effective protection against injury or death in a vehicular accident!
• As the owner and driver of your vehicle, you must make certain that each occupant is properly wearing the safety belt provided at the seating position.
• Pregnant women, injured, and physically impaired persons should also wear safety belts. Like all other occupants, they are more likely to suffer serious injury or death, if they do not do so.
• The best way to protect the foetus is to protect the mother.
Warning
• Why safety belts work, how to wear them, and how to adjust your seat position properly, is explained in this section. Read all of the information provided and always observe these instructions and warnings in order to gain the full benefit of these safety systems.
Safety belts cannot work unless they are worn and worn properly.
Vehicle occupants are injured if the forces applied to the body’s structures are greater than the body can tolerate without being injured. If a person’s body is stopped abruptly, the forces applied to the body will be high, whereas if the body is slowed down gradually over some distance, the forces will be much lower. Thus, in order to protect an occupant from injury in a crash, the idea is to give the person as much time and distance as possible in coming to a stop.
Imagine a person running at 15 miles per hour (25 km/h) head first into a concrete wall. Imagine a second person running at 15 miles per hour into a wall covered by a 3-foot (90 cm) thick deformable cushion. In the first instance the person could be seriously injured or even killed. In the second, the runner could expect to walk away
How Safety Belts Work*
23Seats & Restraints
uninjured. Why? In the first instance, the body hit the non-yielding concrete surface and stopped immediately. All of the energy the sprinter built up was absorbed by the structures of the body, not by the non-yielding concrete surface. In the second example, the body had exactly the same amount of energy that had to be absorbed as in the first example, but it continued to move into the padding, giving the body additional time and distance to slow down to a complete stop as the padding absorbed the sprinter’s energy by deforming.
If a car crashes into a concrete wall at 30 miles per hour (50 km/h), the front bumper of the car stops immediately, but the passenger compartment stops more gradually as the front structure of the vehicle crumples. The belted occupant is held to the seat and gains the advantage of the cushion provided by the crumpling of the front of the vehicle and the stretching of the safety belt webbing. That belted occupant’s body slows down from 50 km/h (30
mph) to zero over a distance of 90-120 cm (3-4 feet). That belted occupant also remains properly positioned so that, if the air bag (if provided) deploys in a frontal collision, the occupant might never strike any rigid structures in the vehicle. The unbelted occupant receives no such benefit. The unbelted person is not attached to the vehicle and so that person continues to travel at the vehicle’s pre-crash speed of 30 miles per hour (50 km/h) until striking a hard object at approximately 30 miles per hour (50 km/h) and stopping abruptly. Even in a frontal collision in which the air bag (if provided) deploys, the unbelted front seat occupant remains at greater risk of serious injury or death than the properly restrained front seat occupant.
Warning
SAFETY BELTS PROTECT
Accident statistics show that drivers and passengers properly wearing safety belts have a lower risk of being injured and a higher chance of surviving an accident. For this reason, wearing a safety belt is legally required in most countries.
WEARING THE SAFETY BELT Each front seat and each outboard
rear seat of your CHEVROLET vehicle is equipped with a three­point safety belt system that is anchored at three locations. All front and rear seat belts are stored and locked by a retractor mechanism. When set in its normal emergency locking mode, the three-point safety belt requires no length adjustment and allows freedom of movement when the vehicle moves at constant speeds.
(Continued)
Warning
However in a sudden or strong stop, or during heavy acceleration or deceleration, the safety belt will lock automatically to restrain the body.
In order to gain the full benefit of a safety belt, you must wear it correctly and position yourself correctly within your seat, as follows:
• Seatback upright (not reclined, to prevent you from “submarining” or slipping out from under the safety belt, and injuring vulnera­ble body parts in a crash.)
• Occupant sitting upright (not slouched, to properly position the lap and shoulder portions of the safety belt for maximum restraint and minimum injury to soft and vulnerable parts of your body in a crash)
(Continued)
Warning
• Safety belt latch plate and buckle securely fastened with a “click” (if the safety belt is not securely latched, it cannot provide any protection; pull on the belt to make sure it is secure)
• Lap portion of safety belt snug and low on hips and bony pelvis (not abdomen where the restrain­ing belt could cause serious injury in a crash – THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR PREGNANT WOMEN)
• Shoulder portion of the safety belts over your outside shoulder and snug against the chest (not under an arm, around your neck, over an inside shoulder or behind your back, and not loose with slack allowing excessive forward movement and injury in a crash)
(Continued)
Warning
• Only one occupant per one safety belt (do not allow more than one person in a safety belt; multiple people in a single safety belt can exceed the capacity of the safety belts and people sharing a safety belt can cause crushing and other injuries to each other in a crash)
• Children in secure child seats (in a crash the forces are too great for an adult to hold onto a child and the adult will crush the child if they share the same safety belt)
• No unbelted occupants (occu­pants not wearing a safety belt are an injury threat to themselves and to other occupants in the vehicle because in a crash they become a free-flying body that will strike other persons in their path)
(Continued)
24 Seats & Restraints
25Seats & Restraints
Warning
• No twisted safety belts (twisted safety belts will not move freely and restrain properly and can cut into the occupants rather than spread the force, thus increasing the risk of injury and death)
• Lock doors (unlocked doors increase the risk of injury and death from external impacts and ejection in a crash)
Warning
• Make periodic checks (while riding in the vehicle, check from time to time to be sure that the lap portion of the belt is snugly across the hips and has not ridden up around the waist and that the shoulder portion is midway over the shoulder and across the chest; properly positioned belts allow the stronger structures of the hips and shoulders to absorb the forces of the belt against the body, while improperly positioned belts may cause neck injury or injury to the vulnerable organs in the abdomi­nal area).
• No hard or breakable objects, between safety belts and body parts (objects such as pens, glasses, etc. in the occupant’s pocket or on the cloth can cause injury in the event of a collision)
(Continued)
Warning
• Improper use of a safety belt can cause serious injury. Do not modify the safety belt. Do not add any device which would affect the operation of the safety belt.
• Before you close the door, make sure the safety belt is out of the way. Otherwise, the belt and/or the vehicle body could be damaged.
Warning
If the safety belt goes over an armrest (if so equipped), lap portion of the safety belt could force the occupant’s abdomen, not the bony pelvis, in a collision.
• Be sure that the safety belt goes under the armrests.
Failure to follow this can result in injuries or even death in case of a collision.
26 Seats & Restraints
Each front seat is equipped with adjustable seat and seatback with height-adjustable head restraint and three point lap-and-shoulder safety belts.
REAR SEAT OCCUPANTS
The rear seat is equipped with two outboard seating positions featuring three-point lap-and-shoulder safety belts and a center seat equipped with a lap safety belt.
THREE-POINT SAFETY BELTS
To help reduce the risk of personal injury in collisions or sudden manoeuvres, your CHEVROLET vehicle is equipped with three-point safety belts. The two front seats and the two outboard rear seating positions are each equipped with three-point safety belts. These safety belts are each anchored in three locations to restrain passengers who are properly positioned and wearing the safety belt.
FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS
A three-point safety belt set in the ELR / WLR (Emergency Locking Retractor / Webbing Locking Retractor) mode requires no length adjustment and allows the freedom of body movement when the vehicle moves at a constant speed.
However, in the event of a sudden or strong stop, or during heavy acceleration or deceleration, the safety belt will lock automatically to restrain the body.
Always fasten your safety belts correctly:
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 your body. Make sure the belt is not twisted. If the safety belt locks as you are pulling it out, allow it to rewind into the retractor. Pull the safety belt out again to a comfortable and secure length.
