2008 Colorado Safety Features

Antilock Brake System (ABS)

The antilock brake system (ABS) is a crash avoidance feature that helps prevent wheel lockup during braking in most slippery road conditions.

Driver Information Center (DIC)

This feature helps keep you up to date on numerous features of Colorado, including low fuel, fuel range, low oil pressure and door ajar.

Head-Curtain Side-Impact Air Bags

Mounted to the roof rail, head-curtain side-impact air bags(1) are designed to reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front- and outboard rear-seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions.

Dual-Stage Frontal Air Bags with Passenger Sensing System

Driver and right-front passenger dual-stage frontal air bags(1) are designed to supplement the safety belt system in the event of a frontal collision. They sense the severity of a crash and determine if the air bags should be deployed, and whether a full or less-than-full amount of inflation will be used. The Passenger Sensing System automatically switches the right-front passenger air bag off based on the passenger's weight and the type of pressure put on the seat.

OnStar

OnStar(2) with a one-year Safe & Sound Plan is standard on LT and Z71 Colorado models. It's available on Work Truck and LS models and requires the available AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3 player. An OnStar Advisor is always ready to help in a variety of situations, whether you've locked your keys in your car,(3) have a flat tire or have your air bags deployed.(1)

Traction Control

Available on 2WD models, the Traction Control system utilizes electronic controls to help reduce rear-wheel spin when you're driving on most slippery surfaces.This system also includes an automatic locking rear differential that also helps provide additional low-speed traction on slippery surfaces.

1 A NOTE ABOUT CHILD SAFETY: Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active air bag. Air bag inflation can cause severe injury or death to anyone too close to the bag when it deploys. Head-curtain side-impact air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and rear seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions. Be sure every occupant is properly restrained. See the Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.
