ARRANGED FOR YOUR SECURITY.
When you buckle up in Canyon, you're surrounded by advanced safety and
security systems designed to protect you before, during and, thanks to OnStar,
after a crash. Its high-strength steel frame works with the cab's safety cage
design to manage crash forces and help preserve the integrity of the passenger
compartment. The multiple air bag restraints are carefully engineered
to supplement the protection provided by the safety belts in frontal and side-
impact crashes. It's all there to give you peace of mind before you turn the key.

To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger, dual-stage frontal
air bags include a sensor that can gauge the severity of a crash and determine
whether to deploy one or two levels of inflation. Canyon also features head
curtain side-impact air bags to help protect the driver and outboard front
and rear passengers in the event of a crash.

Canyon features a Passenger Sensing System that can automatically turn
the passenger-side air bag on or off in the event of an impending collision,
depending on the weight and position of the occupant.

Securing an approved child safety seat or booster seat is as simple as a few
clicks with the Lower Anchors and Top tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system.
Built-in steel anchor rings engage the child seat latches to eliminate installa-
tion guesswork and give your approved seat a stable, secure mounting.

With OnStar,
you can get
2
the help you need, even
if you can't ask for it.
With OnStar Automatic
Crash Response, built-
in sensors around your
vehicle can automatically
send an alert to OnStar.
An OnStar Advisor can be
1
immediately connected to
your vehicle to see if you
need help. Even if you are
unable to respond, the
Advisor will use advanced
GPS technology to
pinpoint your exact loca-
tion to direct emergency
help—even in areas with
limited cellular reception.
The Advisor can also relay
critical crash information
to emergency respond-
ers, such as the severity
and type of crash, so the
responders are better
equipped to treat you at
the scene.
