Seats and Restraints 61
{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. Seat belts help
keep you in position before and during a
crash. Always wear a seat belt, even with
airbags. The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. The seat belts and the
front outboard passenger airbags are
most effective when you are sitting well
back and upright in the seat with both
feet on the floor.
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.
{Warning
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, seeOlder Children 070 or
Infants and Young Children 071.
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 0113.
Where Are the Airbags?
The driver frontal airbag is in the center of
the steering wheel.

62 Seats and Restraints
The front outboard passenger frontal airbag
is in the passenger side instrument panel.
Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar
The driver and front outboard passenger
seat-mounted side impact airbags are in the
side of the seatbacks closest to the door.
Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar
The roof-rail airbags for the driver, front
outboard passenger, and second row
outboard passengers are in the ceiling above
the side windows.
{Warning
If something is between an occupant and
an airbag, the airbag might not inflate
properly 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 (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
When Should an Airbag Inflate?
This vehicle is equipped with airbags. See
Airbag System060. 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 that help the airbag system
determine the severity of the impact.
Deployment thresholds can vary with
specific vehicle design.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/13/23
64 Seats and Restraints
Airbags should never be regarded as
anything more than a supplement to seat
belts.
What Will You See after an
Airbag Inflates?
After frontal and seat-mounted side impact
airbags inflate, they quickly deflate, so
quickly that some people may not even
realize the airbags 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, seeWhere Are the Airbags? 061.
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 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 (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
The vehicle has a feature that may
automatically unlock the doors, turn on the
interior lamps and hazard warning flashers
after the airbags inflate. The feature may
also activate, without airbag inflation, after
an event that exceeds a predetermined
threshold. After turning the vehicle off and
then on again, the doors can be locked, the
interior lamps can be turned off, and the
hazard warning flashers can be turned off
using the controls for those features. If any
of these systems are damaged in the crash
they may not operate as normal.
{Warning
A crash severe enough to inflate the
airbags may have also damaged
important functions in the vehicle, such
as the brake and steering systems, etc.
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable
after a moderate crash, there may be
concealed damage that could make it
difficult to safely operate the vehicle.
Use caution if attempting to restart the
vehicle after a crash has occurred.
Plug-in vehicles have a high voltage battery
and a standard 12-volt battery.
If an airbag inflates or the vehicle has been
in a crash, the sensing system may shut
down the high voltage system. When this
occurs, the high voltage battery is
disconnected and the vehicle will not start.
Before the vehicle can be operated again, it
must be serviced at your dealer.
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.

Cargo Area
All-Weather Cargo Area
The vehicle's cargo area can be used in
many different configurations—cargo
panels on or off, midgate up or down, rear
glass in or out. It has features that resist
the elements and protect cargo. It is designed to quickly direct water out of the
cargo box. The top drain grates and midgate
drain help do this.
Even when all of these things are working
properly and the cover system is on, there
may be some instances (heavy rains,
automated car washes, etc.) when water can
collect in the following areas:
A. Top drain grates
B. Removable front drain grate (midgate
drain grate)
C. Water drainage area around both sides of the box and the tailgate side
D. Cargo floor
Maintenance and Cleaning
To ensure that the water management
system performs properly, be sure that the
midgate, tailgate, and cover system are fully
closed and that all parts are clean and not
blocked with debris. Follow the instructions
given next in this section for the proper
procedures on cleaning each item.
Top Drain Grates Cleaning
The top drain grates are located near the
rear window on both sides of the vehicle.
Clean the grates and drains if there is a
blockage.

{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always clear
snow and ice from the hood, windshield,
washer nozzles, roof, and rear of the
vehicle, including all lamps and windows.
Reduced visibility from snow and ice
buildup could lead to a crash.
Wiper Parking
If the vehicle is turned off while the wipers
are on LO, HI, or INT, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then moved
to OFF before the driver door is opened or
within 10 minutes, the wipers will restart
and move to the base of the windshield.
If the vehicle is turned off while the wipers
are performing wipes due to windshield
washing, the wipers continue to run until
they reach the base of the windshield.
Rain Sense
If equipped with Rain Sense and the feature
is turned on, a sensor near the top center of
the windshield detects the amount of water
on the windshield and controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper based on
the current sensitivity setting.
Keep this area of the windshield clear of
debris to allow for best system performance.
To turn the Rain Sense feature on or off, see
“Rain Sense Wipers” under Settings >
Vehicle > Comfort and Convenience > Rain
Sense > Enable/Disable.
