Chevrolet Silverado: Child Restraints / Replacing LATCH System Parts After a Crash
Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH system in the vehicle. 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.
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.
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...
When securing a child restraint with the seat belts in a rear seat position,
study the instructions that came with the child restraint to make sure it is compatible
with this vehicle...
Other information:
The cargo lamps provide more light in the cargo area or on the sides of the vehicle,
if needed. The lamps inside the pickup box, in the tailgate handle, for the hitch,
and/or the cargo mirror lamps also turn on, if equipped.
If the vehicle is in P (Park), R (Reverse), or N (Neutral) the Cargo Lamp Switch
causes the lights to cycle through the following states for each button press:
- Initial Press:
- CHMSL/Cargo Bed Lights - On

- Cargo Mirror Lights - Off

- Cargo Switch Indicator (if equipped) - Off
Become familiar with and follow all state and local laws that apply to cargo
lamp operation...
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 properly
in the seat or that the child restraint locking feature is engaged. Use the following
steps to allow the system to detect that person and enable the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag:
Turn the vehicle off...

If equipped, there is a small convex mirror built into the upper and outer corner
of the driver outside mirror. It can show objects that may be in the vehicle's blind
zone.
Driving with the Blind Spot Mirror

Actual Mirror View
When the approaching vehicle is a long distance away, the image in the main
mirror is small and near the inboard edge of the mirror.
As the vehicle gets closer, the image in the main mirror gets larger and
moves outboard.
As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from the main
mirror to the blind spot mirror.
When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in the blind
spot mirror.
