BEFORE

What’s the best safety philosophy? Avoid a collision in

the first place. We’ve equipped Volt with numerous safety

features and it has received a 5-star Overall Vehicle

Score from NHTSA.

Even before you leave the driveway there’s an available

REAR VISION CAMERA system that helps alert you to certain

stationary obstacles when backing up at low speeds.

And since Volt is so quiet, a driver-activated,

PEDESTRIAN-

FRIENDLY ALERT

is included. This system helps people who

may not hear Volt approaching at low speeds.

Then there are the technologies you’ve come to depend

on while driving, like the

STABILITRAK

ELECTRONIC STABILITY

CONTROL SYSTEM

with TRACTION CONTROL. On slippery surfaces,

StabiliTrak senses when the vehicle is not properly responding

to steering commands. It acts by applying brake pressure or

adjusting electric propulsion to help the driver get back on

track.

FOUR-WHEEL ANTILOCK DISC BRAKES help maintain steering

control during hard braking by preventing wheel lockup.

These are just a few of the forward-thinking ways we help you

avoid trouble on the road.

DURING

Sometimes, however, trouble finds you. And if a moderate to

severe collision occurs, Volt is designed to respond instantly

with

EIGHT STANDARD AIR BAGS

— including frontal side-impact,

and head-curtain side-impact air bags for outboard front and

rear occupants and new knee air bags for the driver and front

passenger. Adding to this list of safety features, the cabin is

reinforced with

HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL throughout. Meanwhile,

front and rear “crush zones” are designed to compress in a

controlled manner, helping absorb and channel energy away

from the cabin. But our protective measures don’t end there.

AFTER

Should a collision occur, crucial information can be instantly

relayed to the OnStar command center via

ONSTAR AUTOMATIC

CRASH

RESPONSE.

There, trained OnStar Advisors utilize GPS

technology to pinpoint your exact location and can request that

assistance be sent right away—even if you’re unable to respond.

It’s part of

ONSTAR DIRECTIONS & CONNECTIONS,

standard for three

years, which also includes

STOLEN VEHICLE ASSISTANCE,® REMOTE

DOOR UNLOCK

and REMOTE HORN AND LIGHTS. All this because nothing

is more important than your safety.

A safety philosophy that RUNS DEEP

1 Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration’s (NHTSA’s) New Car Assessment Program (www.SaferCar.gov). 2 Air bag

inflation can cause severe injury or death to anyone too close to the air bag when it deploys.

Be sure every occupant is properly restrained. 3 Visit onstar.com for coverage map, details

and system limitations. Services vary by model and conditions. OnStar acts as a link to

existing emergency service providers.
