Safety Belts This section of the manual describes how to use safety belts properly. It also describes some things not to do with safety belts. { Warning Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt cannot be worn properly. In a crash, if you or your passenger(s) are not wearing safety belts, injuries can be much worse than if you are wearing safety belts. You can be seriously injured or killed by hitting things inside the vehicle harder or by being ejected from the vehicle. In addition, anyone who is not buckled up can strike other passengers in the vehicle. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, passengers riding in these areas (Continued) Warning (Continued) are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow passengers to ride in any area of the vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Always wear a safety belt, and check that all passenger(s) are restrained properly too. This vehicle has indicators as a reminder to buckle the safety belts. See Safety Belt Reminders on page 5-17. This vehicle may have the Safety Belt Assurance System, which may prevent the vehicle from shifting out of P (Park).

That is why wearing safety belts makes such good sense. Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I am wearing a safety belt? When riding in a vehicle, you travel as fast as the vehicle does. If the vehicle stops suddenly, you keep going until something stops you. It could be the windshield, the instrument panel, or the safety belts! When you wear a safety belt, you and the vehicle slow down together. There is more time to stop because you stop over a longer distance and, when worn properly, your strongest bones take the forces from the A: You could be — whether you are wearing a safety belt or not. Your chance of being conscious during and after a crash, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted. Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear safety belts? A: Airbags are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts — not instead of them. Whether or not an airbag is provided, all occupants still have to buckle up to get the most protection. 3-13 Also, in nearly all states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing safety belts. How to Wear Safety Belts Properly This section is only for people of adult size. There are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller children and infants. If a child will be riding in the vehicle, see Older Children on page 3-36 or Infants and Young Children on page 3-38. Follow those rules for everyone's protection. It is very important for all occupants to buckle up. Statistics show that unbelted people are hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-14 Seats and Restraints There are important things to know about wearing a safety belt properly. would apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. . Wear the shoulder belt over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop or crash. { Warning . . . Black plate (14,1) Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor in front of you. Always use the correct buckle for your seating position. Wear the lap part of the belt 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 You can be seriously injured, or even killed, by not wearing your safety belt properly. . Never allow the lap or shoulder belt to become loose or twisted. . Never wear the shoulder belt under both arms or behind your back. . Never route the lap or shoulder belt over an armrest. Lap-Shoulder Belt If the vehicle is a regular cab, then all seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder belt. If the vehicle is a double or crew cab, then all seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder belt except for the center front passenger position (if equipped), which has a lap belt. See Lap Belt on page 3-18 for more information. The following instructions explain how to wear a lap-shoulder belt properly. 1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit up straight. To see how, see “Seats” in the Index. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (15,1) Seats and Restraints 3-15 2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get twisted. The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly. If the shoulder portion of a passenger belt is pulled out all the way, the child restraint locking feature may be engaged. If this happens, let the belt go back all the way and start again. Engaging the child restraint locking feature may affect the passenger sensing system, if equipped. See Passenger Sensing System on page 3-29 for more information. For the driver and front outboard seating positions on light duty vehicles and the center seating position (if equipped) on crew cab and double cab models, if the webbing locks in the latch plate before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate flat to unlock. 3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender on page 3-19. Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-16 Black plate (16,1) Seats and Restraints Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of the belt is on the shoulder and not falling off of it. The belt should be close to, but not contacting, the neck. Improper shoulder belt height adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. See How to Wear Safety Belts Properly on page 3-13. 4. If equipped with a shoulder belt height adjuster, move it to the height that is right for you. See “Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster” later in this section for instructions on use and important safety information. To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle. The belt should return to its stowed position. 5. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt. Before a door is closed, be sure the safety belt is out of the way. If a door is slammed against a safety belt, damage can occur to both the safety belt and the vehicle. Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for the driver and front outboard passenger. Push down on the release button to move the height adjuster to the desired position. Move the adjuster up by pushing up on the shoulder belt guide. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (17,1) Seats and Restraints After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to move it down without pushing the release button to make sure it has locked into position. Safety Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for front outboard occupants. Although the safety belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of the safety belt assembly. They can help tighten the safety belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near frontal, or rear crash if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met. And, if your vehicle has side impact airbags, safety belt pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts in a side crash. If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail airbags, safety belt pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts in a rollover event. 3-17 Pretensioners work only once. If the pretensioners activate in a crash, they will need to be replaced, and the vehicle's safety belt system will probably need other new parts. See Replacing Safety Belt System Parts after a Crash on page 3-20. Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides { Warning A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. 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. Rear safety belt comfort guides may provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for some adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide positions the shoulder belt away from the neck and head. Adjustable comfort guides are available through your dealer for the rear outboard seating positions. Instructions are included with the guide. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-18 Black plate (18,1) Seats and Restraints Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts. The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly. Lap Belt This section is only for the lap belt. To learn how to wear a lap-shoulder belt, see Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 3-14. The vehicle may have a center seating position with a lap safety belt. The lap safety belt does not have a retractor. 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. To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt. Buckle, position, and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (19,1) Seats and Restraints To make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender on page 3-19. Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if necessary. Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer will order you an extender. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extender will be long enough for you. To help avoid personal injury, do not let someone else use it, and use it only for the seat it is made to fit. The extender has been designed for adults. Never use it for securing child seats. To wear it, attach it to the regular safety belt. See the instruction sheet that comes with the extender. Safety System Check Now and then, check that the safety belt reminder light, safety belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages are all working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts that might keep a safety belt system from doing its job. See your dealer to have it repaired. Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a 3-19 crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away. Make sure the safety belt reminder light is working. See Safety Belt Reminders on page 5-17. Keep safety belts clean and dry. See Safety Belt Care on page 3-19. Safety Belt Care Keep belts clean and dry. { Warning Do not bleach or dye safety belts. It may severely weaken them. In a crash, they might not be able to provide adequate protection.

For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the center of the steering wheel for the driver and on the instrument panel for the front outboard passenger. For seat-mounted side impact airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the seatback closest to the door. For roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the ceiling or trim. Airbags are designed to supplement the protection provided by safety belts. Even though today's airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk of injury from the force of an inflating bag, all airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job. Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system: { Warning You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt, even with airbags. Airbags are designed to work with safety belts, not replace them. Also, airbags are not designed to inflate in every crash. In some crashes safety belts are the only restraint. See When Should an Airbag Inflate? on page 3-24. Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce the chance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags are “supplemental restraints” to the safety belts. Everyone in the vehicle should wear a safety belt properly, whether or not there is an airbag for that person. 3-21 { Warning Because airbags inflate with great force and faster than the blink of an eye, anyone who is up against, or very close to any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to any airbag, as you would be if sitting on the edge of the seat or leaning forward. Safety belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear a safety belt, even with airbags. The driver should sit as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. Occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door or side windows in seating positions with seat-mounted side impact airbags and/or roof-rail airbags. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-22 Black plate (22,1) Seats and Restraints { Warning Where Are the Airbags? Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Always secure children properly in the vehicle. To read how, see Older Children on page 3-36 or Infants and Young Children on page 3-38. The driver frontal airbag is in the center of the steering wheel. There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument 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 5-18 for more information. The front outboard passenger frontal airbag is in the passenger side instrument panel. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (23,1) Seats and Restraints 3-23 Warning (Continued) Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar If the vehicle has seat-mounted side impact airbags for the driver and front outboard passenger, they are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door. Driver Side Crew Cab Shown, Passenger Side Double and Regular Cabs Similar If the vehicle has roof-rail airbags for the driver, front outboard passenger, and second row outboard passengers, they are in the ceiling above the side windows. { Warning If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly (Continued) or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or even death. The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear. Do not put anything between an occupant and an airbag, and do not attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other airbag covering. Do not use seat accessories that block the inflation path of a seat-mounted side impact airbag. Never secure anything to the roof of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags by routing a rope or tie‐down through any door or window opening. If you do, the path of an inflating roof-rail airbag will be blocked. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-24 Black plate (24,1) Seats and Restraints When Should an Airbag Inflate? It depends on what is hit, the direction of the impact, and how quickly the vehicle slows down. This vehicle is equipped with airbags. See Airbag System on page 3-20. Airbags are designed to inflate if the impact exceeds the specific airbag system's deployment threshold. Deployment thresholds are used to predict how severe a crash is likely to be in time for the airbags to inflate and help restrain the occupants. The vehicle has electronic sensors which help the airbag system determine the severity of the impact. Deployment thresholds can vary with specific vehicle design. Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds depending on whether the vehicle hits an object straight on or at an angle, and whether the object is fixed or moving, rigid or deformable, narrow or wide. Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near frontal crashes to help reduce the potential for severe injuries, mainly to the driver's or front outboard passenger's head and chest. Whether the frontal airbags will or should inflate is not based primarily on how fast the vehicle is traveling. have a seat position sensor that enables the sensing system to monitor the position of the driver seat. The seat position sensor provides information that is used to adjust the deployment of the driver frontal airbag. In addition, if the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is at or below 3 855 kg (8,500 lb), the vehicle has advanced technology frontal airbags. You can find the GVWR on the Certification/Tire label on the center pillar of the vehicle. See Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-15 for more information. If the GVWR is at or below 4 536 kg (10,000 lb), the vehicle has seat-mounted side impact airbags. Vehicles with a GVWR above 4 536 kg (10,000 lb) may or may not have seat-mounted side impact airbags. Seat-mounted side impact airbags, if equipped, are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. Seat-mounted side impact airbags are not designed to inflate in frontal impacts, near frontal impacts, rollovers, or rear impacts. A seat-mounted side impact airbag is designed to inflate on the side of the vehicle that is struck. Advanced technology frontal airbags adjust the restraint according to crash severity. Vehicles with advanced technology frontal airbags Vehicles with a GVWR at or below 3 855 kg (8,500 lb) have roof-rail airbags. These roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to Frontal airbags are not intended to inflate during vehicle rollovers, in rear impacts, or in many side impacts. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (25,1) Seats and Restraints severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. In addition, these roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate during a rollover or in a severe frontal impact. The roof-rail airbags are not designed to inflate in rear impacts. Both roof-rail airbags will inflate when either side of the vehicle is struck or if the sensing system predicts that the vehicle is about to roll over on its side, or in a severe frontal impact. Vehicles with a GVWR above 3 855 kg (8,500 lb) up to and including 4 536 kg (10,000 lb) also have roof-rail airbags. These roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. Both roof-rail airbags will inflate when either side of the vehicle is struck. In addition, these roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate in a severe frontal impact. The roof-rail airbags are also rollover capable except on models sold as an incomplete vehicle with the pickup box removed. If the 3-25 roof-rail airbags are rollover capable, both roof-rail airbags will also inflate if the sensing system predicts that the vehicle is about to roll over on its side. The roof-rail airbags are not designed to inflate in rear impacts. capable. If the airbags are rollover capable, both roof-rail airbags will also inflate if the sensing system predicts that the vehicle is about to roll over on its side. The roof-rail airbags are not designed to inflate in rear impacts. Vehicles with a GVWR above 4 536 kg (10,000 lb) may or may not be equipped with roof-rail airbags. These roof-rail airbags, if equipped, are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. Both roof-rail airbags will inflate when either side of the vehicle is struck. In addition, these roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate in a severe frontal impact. If the vehicle has single rear wheels and has a factory-installed pickup box and roof-rail airbags, the roof-rail airbags are rollover capable. If the vehicle has dual rear wheels, or is sold as an incomplete vehicle, as a chassis cab, or with the pickup box removed, and has roof-rail airbags, the roof-rail airbags are not rollover In any particular crash, no one can say whether an airbag should have inflated simply because of the vehicle damage or repair costs. What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the inflator. Gas from the inflator fills the airbag causing the bag to break out of the cover. The inflator, the airbag, and related hardware are all part of the airbag module. For airbag locations, see Where Are the Airbags? on page 3-22. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-26 Black plate (26,1) Seats and Restraints How Does an Airbag Restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. In moderate to severe side collisions, even belted occupants can contact the inside of the vehicle. Airbags supplement the protection provided by safety belts by distributing the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant's body. Rollover capable roof-rail airbags are designed to help contain the head and chest of occupants in the outboard seating positions in the first and second rows. The rollover capable roof-rail airbags are designed to help reduce the risk of full or partial ejection in rollover events, although no system can prevent all such ejections. But airbags would not help in many types of collisions, primarily because the occupant's motion is not toward those airbags. See When Should an Airbag Inflate? on page 3-24. Airbags should never be regarded as anything more than a supplement to safety belts. What Will You See after an Airbag Inflates? After the frontal airbags and seat-mounted side impact airbags inflate, they quickly deflate, so quickly that some people may not even realize an airbag inflated. Roof-rail airbags may still be at least partially inflated for some time after they inflate. Some components of the airbag module may be hot for several minutes. For location of the airbags, see Where Are the Airbags? on page 3-22. The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing out of the windshield or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people from leaving the vehicle. { Warning When an airbag inflates, there may be dust in the air. This dust could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have breathing problems but cannot get out of the vehicle after an airbag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or a door. If you experience breathing problems following an airbag deployment, you should seek medical attention. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (27,1) Seats and Restraints The vehicle has a feature that may automatically unlock the doors, turn on the interior lamps and hazard warning flashers, and shut off the fuel system after the airbags inflate. The feature may also activate, without airbag inflation, after an event that exceeds a predetermined threshold. You can lock the doors, and turn off the interior lamps, and turn off the hazard warning flashers by using the controls for those features. { Warning A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may have also damaged important functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel system, brake and steering systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after a moderate crash, there may be (Continued) other parts. The service manual for the vehicle covers the need to replace other parts. Warning (Continued) concealed damage that could make it difficult to safely operate the vehicle. . The vehicle has a crash sensing and diagnostic module which records information after a crash. See Vehicle Data Recording and Privacy on page 13-14 and Event Data Recorders on page 13-14. . Let only qualified technicians work on the airbag systems. Improper service can mean that an airbag system will not work properly. See your dealer for service. Use caution if you should attempt to restart the engine after a crash has occurred. In many crashes severe enough to inflate the airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the front outboard passenger airbag. . Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After an airbag inflates, you will need some new parts for the airbag system. If you do not get them, the airbag system will not be there to help protect you in another crash. A new system will include airbag modules and possibly 3-27 Airbag On-Off Switch If the passenger side instrument panel endcap has the switch pictured in the following illustration, the vehicle has an airbag on-off switch that you can use to manually turn on or off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag. See Instrument Panel on page 1-2. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-28 Black plate (28,1) Seats and Restraints . If the vehicle does not have an airbag on-off switch, it may have a passenger sensing system. See Passenger Sensing System on page 3-29. This switch should only be turned to the off position if the person in the front outboard passenger position is a member of a passenger risk group identified by the national government as follows: Infant. An infant (less than 1 year old) must ride in the front seat because: . My vehicle has no rear seat; . My vehicle has a rear seat too small to accommodate a rear-facing infant seat; or The infant has a medical condition which, according to the infant's physician, makes it necessary for the infant to ride in the front seat so that the driver can constantly monitor the child's condition. Child age 1 to 12. A child age 1 to 12 must ride in the front seat because: . My vehicle has no rear seat; . Although children ages 1 to 12 ride in the rear seat(s) whenever possible, children ages 1 to 12 sometimes must ride in the front because no space is available in the rear seat(s) of my vehicle; or .

When the system check is complete, either the word ON or OFF, or the symbol for on or off, will be visible. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 5-20. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys. The passenger sensing system turns off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag under certain conditions. No other airbag is affected by the passenger sensing system. { Warning The passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the front outboard passenger seat and safety belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the front outboard passenger frontal airbag should be allowed to inflate or not. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the correct child restraint for their weight and size. Whenever possible, children age 12 and under should be secured in a rear seating position. A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger frontal airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. A child in a forward-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger frontal airbag inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward position. Even if the passenger sensing system has turned off the passenger frontal airbag, no system is fail-safe. No one can guarantee that an airbag will not (Continued) Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (31,1) Seats and Restraints .

Secure rear-facing child restraints in a rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in the front outboard passenger seat, always move the seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. If the vehicle does not have a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, a rear-facing child restraint should not be installed in the vehicle, even if the airbag is off. The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag if: . The front outboard passenger seat is unoccupied. When the passenger sensing system has turned off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag, the off indicator will light and stay lit as a reminder that the airbag is off. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 5-20. The passenger sensing system is designed to turn on the front outboard passenger frontal airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front outboard passenger seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbag to be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay lit as a reminder that the airbag is active. 3-31 For some children, including children in child restraints, and for very small adults, the passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag, depending upon the person's seating posture and body build. Everyone in the vehicle who has outgrown child restraints should wear a safety belt properly — whether or not there is an airbag for that person. { Warning If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system.

If a child restraint has been installed and the on indicator is lit: 1. Turn the vehicle off. 2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle. 3. Remove any additional items from the seat such as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers. 4. Reinstall the child restraint following the directions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and refer to Securing Child Restraints (Center Front Seat) on page 3-57 or Securing Child Restraints (Rear Seat) on page 3-57 or Securing Child Restraints (Front Passenger Seat) on page 3-61. Even if the child restraint is equipped with a safety belt lock-off, make sure the safety belt retractor is locked by pulling the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor before tightening the safety belt. When the retractor lock is set, the belt can be tightened but not pulled out of the retractor. The passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the airbag for a child in a child restraint depending upon the child’s size. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an Adult-Sized Occupant 5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly recline the vehicle seatback and adjust the seat cushion, if adjustable, to make sure that the vehicle seatback is not pushing the child restraint into the seat cushion. Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens, adjust the head restraint. See Head Restraints on page 3-2. 6. Restart the vehicle. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front outboard passenger seat, but the off indicator is lit, it could be because that person is not sitting Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (33,1) Seats and Restraints properly in the seat or that the child restraint locking feature is engaged. If this happens, use the following steps to allow the system to detect that person and enable the front outboard passenger frontal airbag: 1. Turn the vehicle off. 2. Remove any additional material from the seat, such as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers. 3. Place the seatback in the fully upright position. 4. Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended. 5. If the shoulder portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, the child restraint locking feature will be engaged. This may unintentionally cause the passenger sensing system to turn the airbag off for some adult-sized occupants. If this happens, unbuckle the belt, let the belt go back all the way, and then buckle the belt again without pulling the belt out all the way. 6. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for two to three minutes after the on indicator is lit. { Warning If the front outboard passenger airbag is turned off for an adult-sized occupant, the airbag will not be able to inflate and help protect that person in a crash, resulting in an increased risk of (Continued) 3-33 Warning (Continued) serious injury or even death. An adult-sized occupant should not ride in the front outboard passenger seat, if the passenger airbag off indicator is lit. Additional Factors Affecting System Operation Safety belts help keep the passenger in position on the seat during vehicle maneuvers and braking, which helps the passenger sensing system maintain the passenger airbag status. See “Safety Belts” and “Child Restraints” in the Index for additional information about the importance of proper restraint use. A thick layer of additional material, such as a blanket or cushion, or aftermarket equipment such as seat covers, seat heaters, and seat massagers can affect how well the passenger sensing system Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-34 Black plate (34,1) Seats and Restraints operates. We recommend that you not use seat covers or other aftermarket equipment except when approved by GM for your specific vehicle. See Adding Equipment to the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 3-34 for more information about modifications that can affect how the system operates. The on indicator may be lit if an object, such as a briefcase, handbag, grocery bag, laptop, or other electronic device, is put on an unoccupied seat. If this is not desired, remove the object from the seat. { Warning Stowing of articles under the passenger seat or between the passenger seat cushion and seatback may interfere with the proper operation of the passenger sensing system. Servicing the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Airbags affect how the vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the airbag system in several places around the vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual have information about servicing the vehicle and the airbag system. To purchase a service manual, see Service Publications Ordering Information on page 13-11. { Warning For up to 10 seconds after the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected, an airbag can still inflate during improper service. You can be injured if you are close to an airbag when it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are probably part of the airbag system. Be sure to follow (Continued) Warning (Continued) proper service procedures, and make sure the person performing work for you is qualified to do so. Adding Equipment to the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Adding accessories that change the vehicle's frame, bumper system, height, front end, or side sheet metal, may keep the airbag system from working properly. The operation of the airbag system can also be affected by changing or moving any parts of the front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing and diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument panel, roof-rail airbag modules, ceiling headliner or pillar garnish trim, overhead console, front sensors, side impact sensors, or airbag wiring. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (35,1) Seats and Restraints Your dealer and the service manual have information about the location of the airbag sensors, sensing and diagnostic module, and airbag wiring. In addition, the vehicle may have a passenger sensing system for the front outboard passenger position, which includes sensors that are part of the passenger seat. The passenger sensing system may not operate properly if the original seat trim is replaced with non-GM covers, upholstery, or trim; or with GM covers, upholstery, or trim designed for a different vehicle. Any object, such as an aftermarket seat heater or a comfort-enhancing pad or device, installed under or on top of the seat fabric, could also interfere with the operation of the passenger sensing system. This could either prevent proper deployment of the passenger airbag(s) or prevent the passenger sensing system from properly turning off the passenger airbag(s). See Passenger Sensing System on page 3-29. If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail airbags, see Different Size Tires and Wheels on page 10-74 for additional important information. If a snow plow is added to the vehicle, the airbags should still work properly. The airbag systems were designed to work properly under a wide range of conditions, including snow plowing with vehicles that have the optional snow plow prep package (RPO VYU). Do not change or defeat the snow plow's “tripping mechanism.” If you do, it can damage the snow plow and the vehicle, and may cause an airbag deployment. If you have to modify your vehicle because you have a disability and you have questions about whether the modifications will affect the vehicle's airbag system, or if you have questions about whether the airbag system will be affected if the 3-35 vehicle is modified for any other reason, call Customer Assistance. See Customer Assistance Offices on page 13-3. Airbag System Check The airbag system does not need regularly scheduled maintenance or replacement. Make sure the airbag readiness light is working. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 5-18. { Caution If an airbag covering is damaged, opened, or broken, the airbag may not work properly. Do not open or break the airbag coverings. If there are any opened or broken airbag coverings, have the airbag covering and/or airbag module replaced. For the location of the airbags, see Where Are the Airbags? on page 3-22.

Child Restraints Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle safety belts. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (37,1) Seats and Restraints The manufacturer instructions that come with the booster seat state the weight and height limitations for that booster. Use a booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until the child passes the fit test below: . Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the knees bend at the seat edge? If yes, continue. If no, return to the booster seat. . Buckle the lap-shoulder belt. Does the shoulder belt rest on the shoulder? If yes, continue. If no, try using the rear safety belt comfort guide, if available. See “Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” under Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 3-14. If a comfort guide is not available, or if the shoulder belt still does not rest on the shoulder, then return to the booster seat. . Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the hips, touching the thighs? If yes, continue. If no, return to the booster seat. . Can proper safety belt fit be maintained for the length of the trip? If yes, continue. If no, return to the booster seat. If you have the choice, a child should sit in a position with a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts? A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should fit snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs. This applies belt force to the child's pelvic bones in a crash. It should never be worn over the abdomen, which could cause severe or even fatal internal injuries in a crash. 3-37 Also see “Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” under Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 3-14. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in a rear seating position. In a crash, children who are not buckled up can strike other people who are buckled up, or can be thrown out of the vehicle. Older children need to use safety belts properly. { Warning Never allow more than one child to wear the same safety belt. The safety belt cannot properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, they can be crushed together and seriously injured. A safety belt must be used by only one person at a time. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-38 Black plate (38,1) Seats and Restraints Warning (Continued) belt. The belt force would then be applied right on the abdomen. That could cause serious or fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. { Warning Never allow a child to wear the safety belt with the shoulder belt behind their back. A child can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly. In a crash, the child would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. The child could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury. The child might also slide under the lap (Continued) Infants and Young Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! 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. { Warning Children can be seriously injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck. The shoulder belt can tighten but cannot be loosened if it is locked. The shoulder belt locks when it is pulled all the way out of the retractor. It unlocks when the shoulder belt is allowed to go all (Continued) Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (39,1) Seats and Restraints Warning (Continued) the way back into the retractor, but it cannot do this if it is wrapped around a child’s neck. If the shoulder belt is locked and tightened around a child’s neck, the only way to loosen the belt is to cut it. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle and never allow children to play with the safety belts. Every time infants and young children ride in vehicles, they should have the protection provided by appropriate child restraints. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them. Children who are not restrained properly can strike other people, or can be thrown out of the vehicle. 3-39 { Warning Never hold an infant or a child while riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an infant or a child will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it during a crash. For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will suddenly become a 110 kg (240 lb) force on a person's arms. An infant should be secured in an appropriate restraint. { Warning Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front outboard seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to secure a forward-facing child restraint in a rear seat.

Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle owner, are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used. For most basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure it is designed to be used in a motor vehicle. If it is, the restraint will have a label saying that it meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. The restraint manufacturer instructions that come with the restraint state the weight and height limitations for a particular child restraint. In addition, there are many kinds of restraints available for children with special needs. { Warning To reduce the risk of neck and head injury during a crash, infants need complete support. In a crash, if an infant is in a rear-facing child restraint, the crash forces can be distributed across the strongest part of an infant's body, the back and shoulders. Infants should always be secured in rear-facing child restraints. { Warning A young child's hip bones are still so small that the vehicle's regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by (Continued) Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (41,1) Seats and Restraints Warning (Continued) 3-41 Child Restraint Systems any bony structure. This alone could cause serious or fatal injuries. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries during a crash, young children should always be secured in appropriate child restraints. Forward-Facing Child Seat Rear-Facing Infant Seat A rear-facing infant seat 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 forward-facing child seat provides restraint for the child's body with the harness. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-42 Black plate (42,1) Seats and Restraints Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in the Vehicle { Warning Booster Seats A booster seat is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window. A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle. Secure the child restraint properly in the vehicle using the vehicle safety belt or LATCH system, following the instructions that came with that child restraint and the instructions in this manual. To help reduce the chance of injury, the child restraint must be secured in the vehicle. Child restraint systems must be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt, or by the LATCH system. See Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 3-44. Children can be endangered in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle. When securing an add-on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer. 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 the vehicle — even when no child is in it. In some areas of the United States and Canada, Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are available to inspect and demonstrate how to correctly use and install child restraints. In the U.S., refer to the National Highway Traffic Safety Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (43,1) Seats and Restraints Administration (NHTSA) website to locate the nearest child safety seat inspection station. For CPST availability in Canada, check with Transport Canada or the Provincial Ministry of Transportation office. Securing the Child Within the Child Restraint { Warning A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child is not properly secured in the child restraint. Secure the child properly following the instructions that came with that child restraint. Where to Put the Restraint According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position. Whenever possible, children age 12 and under should be secured in a rear seating position. If a child restraint is secured in the front outboard passenger seat, and the vehicle has a switch on the passenger side instrument panel endcap to manually turn off the front outboard passenger airbag, see Airbag On-Off Switch on page 3-27 and Securing Child Restraints (Center Front Seat) on page 3-57 or Securing Child Restraints (Rear Seat) on page 3-57 or Securing Child Restraints (Front Passenger Seat) on page 3-61 for more information, including important safety information. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys. 3-43 { Warning A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the front outboard passenger frontal airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. A child in a forward-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the front outboard passenger frontal airbag inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward position. Even if the passenger sensing system or airbag switch has turned off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag, no system is fail-safe. No one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though it is turned off.

If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in the front outboard passenger seat, always move the front outboard passenger seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. { Warning A child in a child restraint in the center front seat can be badly injured or killed by the frontal airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat. It is always better to secure a child restraint in a rear seat. Do not use child restraints in the center front seat position. When securing a child restraint in a rear seating position, study the instructions that came with your child restraint to make sure it is compatible with this vehicle. Child restraints and booster seats vary considerably in size, and some may fit in certain seating positions better than others. Always make sure the child restraint is properly secured. Depending on where you place the child restraint and the size of the child restraint, you may not be able to access adjacent safety belt assemblies or LATCH anchors for additional passengers or child restraints. Adjacent seating positions should not be used if the child restraint prevents access to or interferes with the routing of the safety belt. If the vehicle does not have a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, a rear-facing child restraint should not be installed in the vehicle, even if the airbag is off. Wherever a child restraint is installed, be sure to secure the child restraint properly. 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. Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH System) The LATCH system secures a child restraint during driving or in a crash. LATCH attachments on the child restraint are used to attach the child restraint to the anchors in the vehicle. The LATCH system is designed to make installation of a child restraint easier. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (45,1) Seats and Restraints In order to use the LATCH system in your vehicle, you need a child restraint that has LATCH attachments. LATCH-compatible rear-facing and forward-facing child seats can be properly installed using either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s safety belts. Do not use both the safety belts and the LATCH anchorage system to secure a rear-facing or forward-facing child seat. Booster seats use the vehicle’s safety belts to secure the child in the booster seat. If the manufacturer recommends that the booster seat be secured with the LATCH system, this can be done as long as the booster seat can be positioned properly and there is no interference with the proper positioning of the lap-shoulder belt on the child. Make sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint, and also the instructions in this manual. When installing a child restraint with a top tether, you must also use either the lower anchors or the safety belts to properly secure the child restraint. A child restraint must never be installed using only the top tether and anchor. The LATCH anchorage system can be used until the combined weight of the child plus the child restraint is 29.5 kg (65 lbs). Use the safety belt alone instead of the LATCH anchorage system once the combined weight is more than 29.5 kg (65 lbs). The following explains how to attach a child restraint with these attachments in the vehicle. Not all vehicle seating positions or child restraints have lower anchors and attachments or top tether anchors and attachments. 3-45 Lower Anchors Lower anchors (1) 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 (2). Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-46 Black plate (46,1) Seats and Restraints Top Tether Anchor A top tether (3, 4) anchors the top of the child restraint to the vehicle. A top tether anchor is built into the vehicle. The top tether attachment (2) on the child restraint connects to the top tether anchor in the vehicle in order to reduce the forward movement and rotation of the child restraint during driving or in a crash. The child restraint may have a single tether (3) or a dual tether (4). Either will have a single attachment (2) to secure the top tether to the anchor. 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. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for your child restraint.

Regular Cab For regular cab models, the top tether anchors are under covers on the back panel behind the passenger seat. Remove the trim plug to access the anchor. Be sure to use an anchor on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed. Crew Cab Shown, Double Cab Similar For crew and double cab models, the top tether anchors are the loops near the top of the seatback for each rear seating position. These loops will be used to route the top tether through, as well as to secure the top tether to the vehicle. Be sure to use the anchor (loop) on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (49,1) Seats and Restraints Be sure to read the following instructions to properly install a child restraint using these loops. Do not secure a child restraint in a position without a top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the top tether be attached, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top tether must be attached. According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position. See Where to Put the Restraint on page 3-43 for additional information. Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LATCH System { Warning If a LATCH-type child restraint is not attached to anchors or with the safety belt, the child restraint will not be able to protect the child correctly. In a crash, the child could be seriously injured or killed. Install a LATCH-type child restraint properly using the anchors, or use the vehicle safety belts to secure the restraint, following the instructions that came with the child restraint and the instructions in this manual. 3-49 { Warning Do not attach more than one child restraint to a single anchor, except for the center top tether anchors in the crew and double cabs. Attaching more than one child restraint to a single anchor could cause the anchor or attachment to come loose or even break during a crash. A child or others could be injured. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries during a crash, attach only one child restraint per anchor. { Warning Children can be seriously injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck.

It unlocks when the shoulder belt is allowed to go all the way back into the retractor, but it cannot do this if it is wrapped around a child’s neck. If the shoulder belt is locked and tightened around a child’s neck, the only way to loosen the belt is to cut it. Buckle 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, and tighten the belt behind the child restraint after the child restraint has been installed. { Caution Do not let the LATCH attachments rub against the vehicle’s safety belts. This may damage these parts. If necessary, move buckled safety belts to avoid rubbing the LATCH attachments. Do not fold the empty rear seat with a safety belt buckled. This could damage the safety belt or the seat. Unbuckle and return the safety belt to its stowed position, before folding the seat. If you need to secure more than one child restraint in the rear seat, see Where to Put the Restraint on page 3-43. This system is designed to make installation of child restraints easier. When using lower anchors, do not use the vehicle's safety belts. Instead use the vehicle's anchors and child restraint attachments to secure the restraints. Some restraints also use another vehicle anchor to secure a top tether. Regular Cab Models 1. For models without a rear seat, forward-facing child restraints should only be installed in the right front seating position with safety belts and a top tether. See Securing Child Restraints (Center Front Seat) on page 3-57 or Securing Child Restraints (Rear Seat) on page 3-57 or Securing Child Restraints (Front Passenger Seat) on page 3-61. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (51,1) Seats and Restraints If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the top tether be attached, attach and tighten the top tether to the top tether anchor, if your vehicle has one.

A damaged LATCH system may not properly secure the child restraint, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash. To help make sure the LATCH system is working properly after a crash, see your dealer to have the system inspected and any necessary replacements made as soon as possible. A child in a child restraint in the center front seat can be badly injured or killed by the frontal airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat. It is always better to secure a child restraint in a rear seat. If the vehicle has the LATCH system and it was being used during a crash, new LATCH system parts may be needed. New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the LATCH system was not being used at the time of the crash. Do not use child restraints in the center front seat position. Securing Child Restraints (Rear Seat) When securing a child restraint in a rear seating position, study the instructions that came with the child restraint to make sure it is compatible with this vehicle. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-58 Black plate (58,1) Seats and Restraints If the child restraint has the LATCH system, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 3-44 for how and where to install the child restraint using LATCH.

Do not secure a child seat in a position without a top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored. In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be attached. If the child restraint or vehicle seat position does not have the LATCH system, you will be using the safety 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. If more than one child restraint needs to be installed in the rear seat, be sure to read Where to Put the Restraint on page 3-43. Double Cab 1. Remove the headrest prior to installing a forward-facing child restraint in an outboard rear seating position. See “Headrest Removal and Reinstallation” under Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 3-44. 2. Put the child restraint on the seat. 3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (59,1) Seats and Restraints 3-59 7. For forward-facing child restraints, attach and tighten the top tether to the top tether anchor (loop). Refer to the child restraint instructions, the vehicle LATCH anchor weight limits and instructions listed in Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 3-44. 5. Pull the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock. When the retractor lock is set, the belt can be tightened but not pulled out of the retractor. 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. When installing a forward-facing child restraint, it may be helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is locked. If the retractor is not locked, repeat Steps 4 and 5. 8. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is securely held in place. To check, grasp the child restraint at the safety belt path and attempt to move it side to side and back and forth. When the child restraint is properly installed, there should be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of movement. To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and let it return to the stowed position. If the top tether is attached to a top tether anchor, disconnect it. Reinstall the headrest before the seating position is used. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 3-60 Black plate (60,1) Seats and Restraints See “Headrest Removal and Reinstallation” under Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 3-44 for additional information on installing the headrest properly.

This is normal. Readings outside the normal operating range can also occur when a large number of electrical accessories are operating in the vehicle and the engine is left idling for an extended period. This condition is normal since the charging system is not able to provide full power at engine idle. As engine speeds are increased, this condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds allow the charging system to create maximum power. The vehicle can only be driven for a short time with the readings outside the normal operating range. If the vehicle must be driven, turn off all accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner. Readings outside the normal operating range indicate a possible problem in the electrical system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.

Check that the fuel cap is fully installed. See Filling the Tank on page 9-70. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. . Check that good quality fuel is used. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed and may cause stalling after start-up, stalling when the vehicle is changed into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. These conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. 5-23 Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Depending on where you live, your vehicle may be required to participate in an emission control system inspection and maintenance program. For the inspection, the emission system test equipment will likely connect to the vehicle's Data Link Connector (DLC). If one or more of these conditions occurs, change the fuel brand used. It may require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. See Fuel on page 9-67. If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer can check the vehicle. The dealer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed. The DLC is under the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. See your dealer if assistance is needed. The vehicle may not pass inspection if: . The malfunction indicator lamp is on with the engine running, or if the light does not come on when Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 5-24 Instruments and Controls the ignition is turned to ON/RUN while the engine is off. See your dealer for assistance in verifying proper operation of the malfunction indicator lamp. . Black plate (24,1) The OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if the 12-volt battery has recently been replaced or run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD II system readiness, your dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. Brake System Warning Light The vehicle brake system consists of two hydraulic circuits. If one circuit is not working, the remaining circuit can still work to stop the vehicle. For normal braking performance, both circuits need to be working. If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have the brake system inspected right away. When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light also comes on when the parking brake is set. The light stays on if the parking brake does not fully release. If it stays on after the parking brake is fully released, it means the vehicle has a brake problem. If the light comes on while driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. The pedal might be harder to push, or the pedal can go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See Towing the Vehicle on page 10-95. { Warning Metric English This light should come on briefly when the engine is started. If it does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn if there is a problem. The brake system might not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on.

Universal Remote System Programming If equipped, these buttons are in the overhead console. This system can replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home automation devices. These instructions refer to a garage door opener, but can be used for other devices. Do not use the Universal Remote system with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Read the instructions completely before programming the Universal Remote system. It may help to have another person assist with the programming process. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming. Erase the programming when vehicle ownership is terminated. See “Erasing Universal Remote System Buttons” later in this section. To program a garage door opener, park outside directly in line with and facing the garage door opener receiver. Clear all people and objects near the garage door. Make sure the hand-held transmitter has a new battery for quick and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Programming the Universal Remote System For questions or help programming the Universal Remote system, call 1-800-355-3515 or see www.homelink.com. Programming involves time-sensitive actions, and may time out causing the procedure to be repeated. To program up to three devices: 1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the Universal Remote system buttons with the indicator light in view. The hand-held transmitter was supplied by the manufacturer of the garage door opener receiver. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (55,1) Instruments and Controls 2. At the same time, press and hold both the hand-held transmitter button and one of the three Universal Remote system buttons to be used to operate the garage door. Do not release either button until the indicator light goes from a slow to a rapid flashing light. Then release both buttons. Some garage door openers may require substitution of Step 2 with the procedure under “Radio Signals for Canada and Some Gate Operators” later in this section. 3. Press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote system button for five seconds while watching the indicator light and garage door activation. . If the indicator light stays on continuously or the garage door moves when the button is pressed, then 5-55 programming is complete. There is no need to complete Steps 4–6. . . If the indicator light does not come on or the garage door does not move, a second button press may be required. For a second time, press and hold the newly programmed button for five seconds. If the light stays on or the garage door moves, programming is complete. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds, then changes to a solid light and the garage door does not move, continue with programming Steps 4–6. Learn or Smart Button 4. After completing Steps 1–3, locate the Learn or Smart button inside the garage on the garage door opener receiver. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. 5. Press and release the Learn or Smart button. Step 6 must be completed within 30 seconds of pressing this button. 6. Inside the vehicle, press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote system button for two seconds and then release it. If the garage door does not move or the lamp on the garage door opener receiver Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 5-56 Black plate (56,1) Instruments and Controls does not flash, press and hold the same button a second time for two seconds, then release it. Again, if the door does not move or the garage door lamp does not flash, press and hold the same button a third time for two seconds, then release it. The Universal Remote system should now activate the garage door. Repeat the process for programming the two remaining buttons. Radio Signals for Canada and Some Gate Operators For questions or programming help, call 1-800-355-3515 or see www.homelink.com. Canadian radio-frequency laws and some U.S. gate operators require transmitter signals to time out or quit after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for the Universal Remote system to pick up the signal during programming. Universal Remote System Operation If the programming did not work, replace Step 2 under “Programming the Universal Remote System” with the following: Using the Universal Remote System Press and hold the Universal Remote system button while pressing and releasing the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds until the signal has been successfully accepted by the Universal Remote system. The Universal Remote system indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 3 under “Programming the Universal Remote System” to complete. Press and hold the appropriate Universal Remote system button for at least one-half second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing Universal Remote System Buttons Erase all programmed buttons when vehicle ownership is terminated. To erase: 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash. This should take about 10 seconds. 2. Release both buttons. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (57,1) Instruments and Controls Reprogramming a Single Universal Remote System Button To reprogram any of the system buttons: 1.

When a door is opened, the dome lamps and puddle lamps come on if the dome lamp control is in the DOOR position. If the dome lamp control is in the OFF position, the lamps do not come on. The headlamps, parking lamps, taillamps, and back-up lamps turn on briefly at night, or in areas with limited lighting, when K is pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After about 30 seconds the exterior lamps turn off. Entry lighting can be disabled manually by changing the ignition out of the OFF position, or by pressing the RKE transmitter Q button. This feature can be changed. See “Vehicle Locator Lights” under Vehicle Personalization on page 5-47. Exit Lighting The interior lamps, headlamps, parking lamps, back-up lamps, and license plate lamps come on when the key is removed from the ignition. The interior lamps turn off automatically in 20 seconds. The interior lamps do not come on if the dome lamp control is in the OFF position. The exterior lamps turn off immediately by turning the exterior lamps control off. This feature can be changed. See Vehicle Personalization on page 5-47. Battery Load Management The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM), which estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. The voltmeter gauge or the voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), if equipped, may show the voltage moving up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed. The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is needed for very high electrical loads. A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (9,1) Lighting EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator's output and the vehicle's electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a DIC message might be displayed and it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See Battery Voltage and Charging Messages on page 5-36. Battery Power Protection This feature shuts off the dome and reading lamps, if they are left on for more than 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off. The cargo lamp shuts off after 20 minutes. This prevents the battery from running down. 6-9 Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 6-10 Lighting 2 NOTES Black plate (10,1) Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (1,1) Infotainment System Infotainment System Voice Recognition Voice Recognition . . . . . . . . . . . 7-24 Phone Introduction Infotainment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-1 Theft-Deterrent Feature . . . . . . . 7-2 Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-3 Home Page . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-5 Software Updates . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-8 Radio AM-FM Radio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-8 Satellite Radio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-10 Radio Reception . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7-10 Fixed Mast Antenna . . . . . . . . . 7-11 Multi-Band Antenna . . . . . . . . . . 7-11 Pandora Internet Radio . . . . . . 7-11 Audio Players CD Player . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

FM FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out. AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can also occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio. SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service provides digital radio reception. Tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM signal for a period of time. Cell Phone Usage Cell phone usage, such as making or receiving phone calls, charging, or just having the phone on may cause static interference in the radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off if this happens. Fixed Mast Antenna The fixed mast antenna will go through most car washes as long as it is securely attached. If the 7-11 antenna becomes slightly bent, straighten it out by hand. If it is badly bent, replace it. Occasionally check that the antenna is tight at the base.

Voice Recognition If equipped, voice recognition allows for hands-free operation within the audio and phone applications. This feature can be started by pressing either the g button on the steering wheel or by selecting the g on the screen display. However, not all features within these areas are supported by voice commands. Generally, only complex tasks that require multiple manual interactions to complete are supported by voice commands. For example, tasks that take more than one or two button presses such as selecting a song or artist to play from a media device would be supported by voice commands. Other tasks, like adjusting the volume or seeking up or down are audio features that are easily performed by pressing one or two buttons, and are not supported by voice commands. In general there are flexible ways to speak commands for completing the tasks. Most of them, except destination entry and voice keypad, can be completed in a single command. If the task takes more than one command to complete, the first command would be to indicate the kind of task that is to be performed. The system replies with prompts that lead through a dialog to enter the necessary information. Voice recognition can be used when the ignition is on or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 9-28. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (25,1) Infotainment System Using Voice Recognition Voice recognition becomes available once the system has been initialized. This begins when the ignition is turned on. Initialization may take a few moments. 1. Press g on the steering wheel control to activate voice recognition, or select g on the infotainment screen on the center stack. . . If voice recognition is started from the steering wheel control, the instrument cluster displays the selections and visual dialog content. If voice recognition is started from the infotainment screen, the selections and visual dialog content are displayed on both the center stack display and the instrument cluster display. 7-25 2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt followed by a beep. If a command is not spoken, the voice recognition system says a help prompt. 3. Wait until after the beep completes, then clearly speak one of the commands described in this section. Prompts and Screen Displays Press g to interrupt any voice recognition system prompt. For example, if the prompt seems to be taking too long to finish, press g again and the beep should happen right away. There are two voice prompt modes supported: . Long verbal prompts: The longer prompts provide more information regarding the supported actions. . Short prompts: The short prompts provide simple instructions about what can be stated. While a voice recognition session is active, there will be corresponding buttons on screens displayed. Manual interaction in the voice recognition session is permitted. Interaction during a voice session may be completed entirely using voice commands, or some selections may expedite a session. If a selection is made using a manual control, the dialog will progress in the same way as if the selection was made through a voice command. Once the system is able to complete the task, or the session is terminated, the voice recognition dialog stops. An example of this type of manual intervention is pressing on an entry of a displayed number list instead of speaking the number associated with the entry desired. Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 7-26 Infotainment System Canceling Voice Recognition . . . Black plate (26,1) Press the Home screen button to terminate the voice recognition session which was initiated by pressing g on the infotainment screen on the center stack. Press or say “Cancel” or “Exit” to terminate the voice recognition session and display the screen from which voice recognition was initiated. For languages that do not support natural language commands in sentence form, use the direct commands shown as examples on the display screen. For best results: . . Say “Help” or look at the screen display for commands. . Voice recognition system prompt can be interrupted during a prompt by pressing g again. Press i on the steering wheel controls to terminate the voice session and display the screen from which voice recognition was initiated. For example, if the prompt seems to be taking too long to finish, or if what is being prompted causes a need for an immediate reply, press g again and wait for the beep. Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands Voice recognition can understand commands that are either naturally stated in sentence form (English only), or direct commands that state the application and the task. Listen for the prompt and wait for the beep before saying a command or reply. . Speak the command naturally, not too fast, not too slow. Use direct commands without a lot of extra words. . Usually Phone and Audio commands can be spoken in a single command. For example, “Call Dave Smith at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or song name, or “Tune” followed by the radio station number. There is no need to memorize specific command words. Direct commands might be more clearly understood by the system. An example of a direct command would be “Call 555-1212.” Examples of these direct commands are displayed on most of the screens while a voice session is active. If “Phone” or “Phone Commands,” is stated, the system understands that a phone call is requested and will respond with questions until enough details are gathered. If the phone number has been saved with a name and a place, the direct command should include both, for example “Call Dave Smith at work.” Chevrolet 2015i Silverado Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/ Mexico-8425172) - 2015 - CRC - 6/20/14 Black plate (27,1) Infotainment System Using Voice Recognition for List Options When a list is displayed, a voice prompt will ask to confirm or select an option from that list. A selection can be made by manually selecting the item, or by speaking the line number for the item to select. When a screen contains a list, options may be available but not displayed. The list on a voice recognition screen functions the same as a list on other screens. Scrolling can be used to help display other entries from the list. Manually scrolling or paging the list on a screen during a voice recognition session suspends the current voice recognition event and plays the prompt “Make your selection from the list using the manual controls or press the Back button to try again.” If manual selection takes more than 15 seconds, the session terminates and prompts that it has timed out. The screen returns back to the screen where voice recognition was initiated. The Back Command Say “Back” or press the Back button to go to the previous screen. If in voice recognition, and “Back” is stated all the way through to the initial screen, then “Back” is stated one more time, the voice recognition session will cancel. Help Say “Help” on any voice recognition screen and the help prompt for the screen is played. Additionally, a pop-up displays a text version of the help prompt. Depending on how voice recognition was initiated, the Help pop-up will either display on the instrument cluster or the infotainment screen. Press the Dismiss button to make the pop-up go away. 7-27 Pressing g while the help prompt is playing will terminate the prompt and a beep will be heard. Doing this will stop the help prompt so that a voice command can be used. Voice Recognition for the Radio Select the g screen button to launch audio voice recognition.
