STANDARD OCCUPANT
PROTECTION FEATURES
• NEXT GENERATION DRIVER AND RIGHT FRONT-
PASSENGER AIR BAGS, designed for use with safety
belts, help protect the driver and front passenger in
the event of a moderate to severe frontal impact.
Always use safety belts and proper child restraints,
even with Next Generation air bags. See the owner’s
manual for more safety information.
• FRONT AND REAR OUTBOARD THREE-POINT SAFETY
BELT system helps restrain outboard passengers.
• SAFETY-CAGE CONSTRUCTION forms a protective
“cage” around the passenger compartment. The
cage is made up of the door pillars, upper rails
above doors, side door beams, box beams
beneath doors, cross-car steel beams underneath
the floor and beams above front and rear window.
• FRONT AND REAR CRUSH ZONES are designed to
deform in a controlled manner in a collision, helping
absorb impact energy to reduce intrusion into the
passenger compartment.
• HIGH STRENGTH STEEL SIDE-DOOR GUARD BEAMS
in doors are designed to help protect occupants
from intrusion into the passenger compartment.
• CHILD SAFETY SEAT TETHER ANCHORS are featured
on the rear outboard safety belts. These outboard
seating positions have floor-mounted anchor attach-
ment points for use with child safety seats designed
for these connections. This feature allows a firm
anchor point for the tether that connects to the top
of the child safety seat. The anchorage for the bot-
tom of the child safety seat remains the lap safety
belt. Tracker provides this anchorage point prior to
federal regulations requiring the feature.
• CHILD SECURITY REAR-DOOR LOCKS, standard
on 4-Door Tracker models, prevent the rear doors
from being opened from the inside.
• CROSS-TRUCK BEAM, integrated into the
instrument panel, improves vehicle rigidity.
• ENERGY-ABSORBING STEERING COLUMN and
instrument panel are designed to help absorb
collision impact, reducing injury to the driver’s body.
SECURITY FEATURES
• TRACKER TRUNK LOCKABLE STORAGE
COMPARTMENT, optional on 2-Door models is a stur-
dy, lockable storage compartment for securing valu-
ables. With this option, Convertible drivers need not
be concerned about taking valuables with them
when they park in public places.
• BATTERY-RUNDOWN PROTECTION is standard on all
Tracker models. Sixteen minutes after the vehicle has
been turned off, a computer turns off any interior
lights that were left on, preventing the need for a
jump start in many cases.
• REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM, optional on
4-Door models within the Convenience Package
(not available on 2-Door), uses a key fob to
activate remote locking features and illuminated
entry for quick access into a locked vehicle.
Interior Features
The new Tracker features a more refined interior
which reflects the input of the truck design staff of
General Motors, giving Tracker a family resemblance
and functionality similar to that of other Chevy sport
utility vehicles.
All interiors feature a Medium Warm Gray trim color
for a lighter interior appearance than previous models.
Other interior featur
es:
• REVISED, ERGONOMIC INTERIOR is featured through-
out Tracker. The manual transmission shifter has a
revised pivot point for improved ergonomics and
reduced shifting effort. The transfer case shifter also
offers improvements to shifting. Switch and control
locations are conveniently placed at the fingertips of
the driver, and are logically laid out. For instance,
the power window switches are mounted on the
door by the windows, not in the center console or
front dash as is the case in some other vehicles.
• NEW INSTRUMENT PANEL contains a gauge cluster
with full instrumentation: Electronically controlled
speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temper-
ature gauge, fuel gauge and dual trip odometers.
