Introduction
There's no question that the Orlando will offer a refreshing alternative to many
of the family vans currently on the market. The distinctly recognizable Chevrolet
face is complemented by a profile characterized by the low swept roofline and
the muscular, protruding wheel-arches, housing 16, 17 or 18 inch wheels. The
wheel arches enhance a 'body in, wheel out' appearance while at the same time
ensuring Chevrolet Orlando keeps its agile, sporting stance.

Body Construction
Safety for a vehicle's occupants is always a paramount consideration for this
class of car, and in Chevrolet Orlando owners will be reassured by both the atten-
tion to detail and the inclusion of the latest technology that has gone into this
aspect of the car's design. Most of Orlando's body structure is constructed of
high strength steel to form an effective passenger safety cage providing protec-
tion in the event of a collision to the front, rear and side of the car. Should a colli-
sion occur, Orlando's occupants will be protected by six airbags - twin front, side
and curtain.
One of the biggest challenges often faced by emergency services when assisting
at the scene of an incident is helping the occupants of vehicles when the doors are
locked. However, this is not a scenario that Chevrolet Orlando owners will be faced
with; Orlando is fitted with crash sensor technology, where the doors unlock auto-
matically on detection of an impact.
High-strength steels and aluminum are used in all the key areas in the car's cons-
truction. With the frontal area of any vehicle particularly vulnerable, Orlando is fit-
ted with a strong yet light aluminum crash-box for the front bumper cross-member
which sits in front of the engine cradle, with high-strength steel used for longitudi-
nal rails and the front sub-frame. Energy is absorbed by these sections and distri-
buted evenly along load paths, including a dual load path on the vehicle's
underbody, which channels energy away from the passenger compartment. The cr-
adle used to house the engine and which sits inside the front sub frame also has
high energy absorption properties where structural foam helps dissipate impacts.
Special attention has also been paid to the side structure of the body so that the
B-pillar section and where it joins the lower sill section and seat cross member on
the floorpan is especially strong, and designed to distribute loads safely around the
body frame.At the rear of the vehicle, a further reinforced sub frame is used on the
underbody which protects the fuel tank and its connections from penetration in the
case of a rear impact.The fuel tank itself is capable of withstanding minor compres-
sions without rupturing.

Body Structure
Mild Steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but is malleable. Surface hardness
can be increased through carburising. This type of steel normally has a tensile
strength less than 270 MPa.
High Strength Low Alloy Steel is a type of alloy steel that provides better mechanical
properties and greater resistance to corrosion than mild steel. This type of steel nor-
mally has a tensile strength range from 300 - 700 MPa.
Dual Phase Steel is a high-strength steel that has a ferrite and martensitic microstruc-
ture. This type of steel normally has a tensile strength up to and including 800MPa.
Advantages:
Ultra-High Strength Steel normally has a tensile strength greater than 800 MPa.

The VES control module uses vehicle speed and steering wheel speed to com-
mand a current that is most appropriate for each speed to the VES actuator.The
actuator is a variable electromagnetic actuator.
At lowest speed, around 5 km/h the coils are polarised in such a way that the
manetic forces are repelling each other and hardly any effort is needed to turn the
steering.
At mid speed, around 70km/h no current is sent through the coils and steering is
assisted by hydraulics only.At high speeds the coils are polarised in such a way
that themagnetic forces are attracting each other and high effort is required to
turn the ring magnet between them.

Electrical Harness
The vehicle uses a CAN bus wiring harness.The CAN Bus is an automotive
bus developed by Robert Bosch, which has quickly gained acceptance into the
automotive and aerospace industries. CAN is a serial bus protocol to connect
individual systems and sensors as an alternative to conventional multi-wire
looms. It allows automotive components to communicate on a single or dual-
wire networked data bus up to 1Mbps.
General motors does not allow repairs to be carried out on this harness for
safety reasons.
Since the early 1940's, automakers have continually improved their vehicles'
technology by integrating an increasing amount of electronic components. As
technology progressed, the vehicles became more complex as electronic
components replaced mechanical systems and provided additional comforts,
convenience, and safety features. Up until the release of CAN Bus, vehicles
contained enormous amounts of wiring which was necessary to interconnect
all of the various electronic components.

PAS is a system which detects location of objects using ultrasonic waves. The sys-
tem measures the time it takes for the waves to return after reflecting off the objects
and then converts the time into distance. The system then alerts the driver by soun-
ding various alarms depending on distance between the vehicle and the obejct in the
rear of the vehicle.
Alarm for detected obstacle is sounded through the rear speaker connected to the
radio silver box module via the LS-GMLAN communication circuit.
If the PAS develops a fault, then the PAS warning light in the instrument panel is lit
via the LS-GMLAN communication circuit and the fault code is stored in the PAS mo-
dule. If the PAS module is replaced, the new PAS module should be programmed
using the calibration data specific to the vehicle.

By turning on the ignition switch to “IGN”, PAS warning light on the instrument
panel is lit and when no fault in the system is detected, then the light is turned
off after 3 seconds.
When gear lever is changed to “R” position, a signal is registered and the PAS
becomes operational.
Alarm is sounded if an object is within 30cm ~ 120cm range and there are total
of 8 levels of alarm depending on the distance of the object.
Turn on the ignition switch, and if PAS warning light in the instrument panel is
turned off after 3 seconds, then the PAS is working properly. If the light remains
turned on or turns on while driving, then there is a fault in the system.

NCAP Rating
There is no official Euro NCAP rating yet for the Orlando as it has not been tested
yet.It is expected to be a four star rating.That may sound surprising with all the sa-
fety features in the new Orlando, but NCAP is upgrading its ratings each year.
That means that a vehicle that might have gained a five star rating in 2009 won’t
necessarily receive one now.So Orlando isn’t necessarily any less safe than a vehicle
which received a five star rating some time ago.
Up to 2009 NCAP carried out three types of testing - Adult occupation protection,
Child protection and pedestrian protection.It now also tests for whiplash neck injury
protection in a rear impact.And it also now rewards seatbelt reminders and speed
limiters and the standard fitment of electronic stability control. Orlando is expected
to receive a four star rating.
The SDM determines the severity of a collision with the assistance of side impact
sensors located at strategic points on the vehicle. When the SDM detects a collision,
the SDM will process the information provided by the sensors to further support air
bag or pretensioner deployment. The SDM will deploy the air bags and pretensioners
if it detects a collision of sufficient force. If the force of the impact is not sufficient
to warrant inflator module deployment, the SDM may still deploy the seat belt pre-
tensioners. The SDM contains a sensing device that converts vehicle velocity chang-
es to an electrical signal. The SDM compares these signals to values stored in
memory. If the signals exceed a stored value, the SDM will determine the severity
of the impact and either cause current to flow through the frontal deployment loops
deploying the frontal air bags and pretensioners, or it will deploy the pretensioners
only. The SDM continuously monitors the deployment loops for malfunctions and il-
luminates the SIR system AIR BAG indicator if a fault is detected.The SDM performs
continuous diagnostic monitoring of the SIR system electrical components. Upon de-
tection of a circuit malfunction, the SDM will set a DTC and inform the driver by il-
luminating the SIR system AIR BAG indicator.

The SDM is located in the centre of the vehicle(under the centre console) as this is
one of the safest places for this crucial module to be located.It is reasonably safe
from any side smash or front or rear collision.
The module has to be replaced in the event of a front smash and the front airbags
have deployed. In the event of a side smash and side airbags have deployed, it can
be recoded(reset) up to three times.
C-clip
Direction to which
the C-clip is to be moved
for detaching the module
1 Rotate the steering wheel as shown in the drawing on the in the Figure 1.
2 Diagonally push in a small flat-head screwdriver, 15cm or less, into the hole (refer
to #2 in the Figure 1) underneath the steering wheel.
3 At the position where the tension of the C-clip can be felt, press in the screwdri-
ver so as to push the C-clip clockwise or counterclockwise and detach either side
of the airbag module one at a time.
