The positioning of the four wheels closer to the corners give it an authoritative stand. Its visual strength lies in the bold body-to-glass proportions; balancing dynamic form and design elements, giving the perception that the car is smaller. Minimised gaps and margins result in visibly greater quality, fit and finish. Subtle sporting details such as fender belts and dual exhaust outlets pay tribute to the manufacturer's motorsport heritage. The interior themes revolve around function, luxury and performance conveying the sports car cockpit effect. A fresh looking interior is of superior standards with impeccable quality. To minimise distraction the controls have been intelligently designed so that the primary information is placed in front of the driver in a display within the instrument cluster. The Lumina also sports red illumination with sport instrumentation complimented by a high mounted auxiliary display above the centre vents. The colour and trim of the Lumina SS comprises of carefully selected finishes materials and textures with lasting charm. The soft trim makes use of fabric leather and carpet with new grain textures that enhance surface vision and touch with emphasis on quality. Modern fine metallic paints define smooth surfaces, while the jewelled modern satin chrome highlights demonstrate functionality and purpose. Supple and luxurious, perforated leather constructions give the seat and door trim added class while the new seats allow greater flexibility and comfort. 3 © 2008 General Motors Corporation.

ABS is standard and is accompanied by the advanced Electronic Brake Assist and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution systems, ensuring braking distances are minimized in panic situations. Lumina has a reinforced safety cell and body structure with front and rear crumple zones. Dual-stage frontal airbags, seatbelt pretensioners and force-limiting belts surround occupants with state-of-the-art safety. Active safety: Up to 200 times a second – that’s how often Lumina’s active safety systems monitor on-road dynamics. Everything from the vehicle’s speed, lateral acceleration and rotation, to the steering wheel angle and brakeforce you apply. When normal tolerances are exceeded, counter-measures are initiated to help ensure you always have maximum control of the vehicle. Passive safety: A collision is a contest between impact energy and your vehicle’s safety features. You want everything possible on your side. That’s why Lumina features an Adaptive Occupant Restraint System. Most impressive of all, in a frontal crash, Lumina can automatically initiate and co-ordinate all on-board passive safety measures in an incredible 90 milliseconds – about the time it takes to snap your fingers. Introduction to VE The new range of VE series vehicles represents the most significant changes that this model line has seen in the last decade. The body shell , steering, suspension and braking systems have been completely redesigned. The electrical architecture has been revised with a large increase in the number of control modules. 4 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved.

Chevrolet Lumina TRAINING Drive Line Rear differential The rear differential is a ZF unit with an aluminium housing.The differential assembly is a cast aluminium two-piece housing design. The differential is mounted to the rear suspension assembly by three rubber mounts, one either side of the piion flange at the front and the third at the rear of the housing. Note: In service, VE rear differentials will be replaced as a complete unit initially but become repairable once a procedure and tooling is available. Propeller Shaft The propeller shaft is a two piece tube supported by a sealed for life centre bearing and nonservicable universal joint. It has a rubber coupling at each end joining the propeller shaft to the transmission and the differential. All propeller shafts are fixed to the rubber couplings by 3 bolts and 3 micro-encapsulated nuts which are discarded when removed.The rubber couplings are then mounted to the differential with 3 bolts and the transmission with 3 bolts and 3 microencapsulated nuts which are also dicarded when removed. Drive shafts The drive shaft assemblies are flexible assemblies consisting of an inner and outer constant velocity joint connected by an axle shaft.The outer constant velocity joint is secured to the wheel/hub assembly with a locking nut.The nut must be peened over onto the flat of the outer constant velocity joint to secure. The nut is discarded after removal. Steering The VE steering system has been redesigned with the following changes: ● Forward of the front axle centreline and rigidly mounted ● Variable ratio (15%change) ● Power steering cooler in lower condenser tube ● Dexron VI power steering fluid 7 © 2008 General Motors Corporation.

TRAINING Chevrolet Lumina Electrical The Chevrolet Lumina uses three seperate fuse boxes, in the engine compartment, left side of passenger footwell and in the trunk. The battery is also located in the trunk. With the UTE the battery is situated in the cabin behind the passenger seat.To prevent explosive and potentially harmfull gases from entering the passenger compartment, the battery is fitted with an external ventilation tube, which carries gases to the outside. Replacement battery must incorporate the external ventilation tube feature. There are jump start points in the engine compartment for easy access. They are located on the left side of the engine compartment. Important: Do not use the Positive terminal at the fuse box for jump starting. 10 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. TRAINING Chevrolet Lumina Body Crumple Zone and Occupant Safety Cell In frontal collisions, two separate parts of the body structure perform different functions. The front is designed to act as a crumple zone, managing and absorbing crash energy by collapsing in a controlled manner, so that the impact affects the car and not the occupants. Vehicle occupants are further protected by a strongly constructed and reinforced passenger safety cell which has been engineered to withstand high energy crash loads. Advanced side structure design reduces the risk of serious head and neck injury in a side impact crash. The central side (B) pillar is designed to deform in a certain way when impacted, changing and reducing the impact velocity profile and directing energy away from the fragile upper body. Energy-absorbing foam between the door trim and the door structure absorbs and dissipates energy from pelvis contact in a lateral collision. The door trim profile is shaped to minimise localised loading into an occupant’s torso. 12 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved. Chevrolet Lumina TRAINING Lumina’s advanced body structure design, with its rigid passenger cell and defined deformation zones and side impact protection, makes an essential contribution to the minimisation of injury risks in frontal, side and rear impact collisions. Front Structure For optimum occupant protection, a front structure must incorporate three competing characteristics. 1. An initially ‘soft’ structure – needed to keep crash forces on occupants as low as possible in low speed collisions, which are the most frequent. 2. A stiffer structure – needed to absorb the energy of high speed crashes with minimum risk to occupants. 3. A structure which is not aggressive towards other vehicles. Designed for real world angled and offset crashes, the front structure of the Lumina is highly efficient at absorbing crash energy. Crush initiators promote a smooth, continuous collapse of the angled frames, which are connected by a large front suspension crossmember with a breakaway feature for greater energy absorption. Passenger Cell Structure A very rigid, strong cabin structure is designed to manage extreme crash energy loading without compromising occupant survival space. Side Structure The side structure is designed to offer improved energy management in real world car, truck and pole collisions, increasing protection from the risk of head, neck and chest injury. A substantial, closed section of roof frame and full length A (front) and B (centre) pillar reinforcements form part of a continuous frame right around the doors; floor and roof frames provide lateral load paths to manage crash energy. The B pillar is designed to deform in a certain way when impacted, which produces an impact velocity profile that is designed to direct energy away from the fragile upper body. A conventional B pillar folds in the middle on impact, directing impact velocity at the occupant’s most fragile areas: the head, neck and chest.Lumina’s B pillar is designed to ‘swing’ with a pendulum effect, so that the impact velocity profile is reduced at areas of high injury risk and directed towards the seat and the less vulnerable lower third of the body. 13 © 2008 General Motors Corporation.

TRAINING Chevrolet Lumina Frame and Underbody Description The following components are supported by a front crossmember frame which is rigidly bolted to the body rail at 6 locations. ● The engine ● The front suspension components ● The steering linkage The following components are supported by the rear suspension frame which is attached to the body rail through rubber insulators at 4 locations. ● The rear drive axle assembly ● The rear suspension components The transmission support is rigidly bolted to the floor pan and supports the transmission extension. The underbody frames must be properly aligned to maintain the correct transmission, suspension and wheel alignment. Important: In the event there is evidence of structural damage to the frames they must be replaced. The individual underbody components contribute directly to the overall strength of the unibody. Use proper metal panel bonding techniques during service repair operations to the underbody. Refer to Metal Panel Bonding for metal panel bonding information and for vehicle preparation. The components must be corrosion protected whenever body repair operations damage or destroy the original sealing surfaces. Use a two part catalysed primer when corrosion protection is needed to welded surfaces. Apply the sealers and anti-corrosion materials as necessary. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Repair. Do not combine paint systems. Refer to Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Systems, for further information. 14 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved.

Chevrolet Lumina TRAINING Occupant Protection Seat Belts The seat belt remains the basis for occupant protection across the Chevrolet Lumina range. Front seat belts are fitted with load limiters and pyrotechnic buckle pre-tensioners. At a given force, the load limiter will release seat belt webbing in a controlled manner, reducing the pressure acting on an occupant’s chest. In a moderately severe impact, pyrotechnic buckle pre-tensioners will ignite a small explosive charge which pulls the belt buckle downwards to take up any ‘belt slack’, minimising forward movement by the seat occupants. If the crash is severe, depending on collision circumstances, airbags will also deploy. Seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats to ensure that belt geometry remains correct regardless of seat position. Some models also feature height adjustable upper seat belt anchorages, which can be set to ensure the belt geometry is correct for the size of the occupant. Three lap/sash rear seat belts are standard fitment across the Lumina range. Research data indicates a two-thirds injury risk reduction with the use of a lap/sash belt. Head Restraints Monash University Accident Research Centre data verifies that padded front and rear seat head restraints with height adjustment help to reduce the risk of head and ‘whiplash’ neck injury. Seat Structures Front and rear seat structures are shaped to support occupants in a crash and prevent small occupants in particular from ‘submarining’, or sliding under the lap section of the seat belt. Driver, Passenger and Side Impact Airbags Designed to protect in real world collisions in the modern traffic environment, Chevrolet’s technologically advanced airbags are an integral part of Lumina’s safety technology. They offer world’s best practice in non-aggressive occupant protection and are effective in reducing head, neck and chest injuries to front seat occupants of all sizes and ages, in all seating positions, in severe frontal, frontal offset, angled and side impact collisions. 19 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved. TRAINING Chevrolet Lumina Airbags Background Head injury accounts for 70 per cent of road fatalities. If a crash victim survives a serious chest injury, he or she can generally expect a full recovery. Brain and neck injuries are different; many people never fully recover. The cost to sufferers and to the community of long-term and irrecoverable brain and neck injury is tragically high. The prevention of head and neck injury is, therefore, a major focus of Chevrolet safety development. Since 1990, Chevrolet has conducted a national field accident research program in conjunction with the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC). Data analysis from this ongoing program allows Chevrolet to identify safety priorities and design protective measures accordingly. It also offers conclusive evidence that Chevrolet airbags are responsible for significant and lifesaving reductions in the incidence of facial, head, neck and chest injuries. Lumina’s driver and passenger airbag system was developed expressly to help reduce the risk of head, facial and chest injury caused by contact with the steering wheel and dashboard in severe frontal collisions. The seat-mounted side impact airbag (SIAB) system was developed to help protect against head, neck and chest injury in lateral collisions. Research shows that the side airbag reduces the risk of head and chest injury by 63 per cent and 56 per cent respectively. In a collision, vehicle occupants will have differing protection requirements, epending on their size, gender and age. The same minor crash that bruises a 20 year-old can be life-threatening to a 60 year-old, because our bones become more fragile as we age (bone strength halves from the ages of 20 to 40, then halves again by 65). Small-statured people face bigger risks, and babies and children need special protection. It has also been established that females, because of their generally smaller stature and more fragile necks, are 50 per cent more likely to suffer neck injuries, and they are up to 100 per cent more at risk of being injured in a side impact crash than male occupants. Driver and Passenger Airbag Performance Chevrolet has optimised the performance of its driver and passenger airbags to suit seatbelt-wearing occupants. This means that Lumina airbags will not deploy in collision situations where seatbelts provide sufficient protection, or situations where airbags cannot contribute to occupant protection. The airbags will deploy in the case of a severe frontal or offset frontal collision that carries a high injury risk. TheChevrolet airbag features a ‘soft’, non-aggressive inflation onset. Its unique E-fold pattern and interior tethers cause it to inflate with a flat surface, eliminating the risk of it catching under the chin and causing neck injury. 20 © 2008 General Motors Corporation.

The crash sensor decides that the collision is severe enough to deploy the airbags. One millisecond (ms) = one thousandth of a second 20 ms 45 ms 55 ms 60 ms 70 ms 100 ms 150 ms The seat belt buckle pre-tensioners trigger, driver and passenger airbags begin to inflate. The large (60 litre) driver airbag is fully inflated. Interior tethers and a unique E-fold pattern keep it flat on the facing side. The passenger airbag is fully inflated. It is 115 litres in size and also presents a flat surface to the occupant. The driver’s head and chest contact the airbag, which is large enough to completely cover the steering wheel. The passenger’s head and chest contact the airbag. Front seat occupants sink deeply into their respective, continually deflating airbags. Upon reaching forward displacement limits, occupants begin to rebound. Occupants continue to travel rearwards until making contact with seat backs and head restraints, which support them before coming to rest. During the inflation process, occupants begin to move forward. Seat belts progressively restrain them and elongate at particular force limits. Upon occupant contact, the airbags immediately begin to deflate. Their large area evenly distributes energy loads on the head and chest, significantly reducing risks of severe injury. Following airbag deployment, side or frontal, the Body Control Module will turn off the engine and fuel pump, unlock doors and turn the interior light on, if battery power remains available. Repairs and Inspections Required after a collision Important: After any collision, inspect the following components as indicated. If you detect any damage, replace the component. If you detect any damage to the mounting points or mounting hardware, repair the component or replace the hardware as needed. ● The Instrument panel area- inspect for bending, twisting, buckling etc. ● The steering column, inspect for excessive movement(check for shear capsule seperation) ● The seat belts ● The Instrument panel mounting points and brackets ● The seats and seat mounting points Before working on the restraint system the vehicle battery needs to be disconnected. There is a two minute waiting period before work can continue on the SRS. Accident with Frontal Air Bag deployment Important: The following must be replaced after a accident: ● SDM ● Front end sensors ● Seat belt pretensioners ● Driver Airbag ● Steering Column ● Steering wheel ● Coil and the coil electrical harness ● All occupied seat belts ● All occupied seats Note: The SDM needs to be replaced only after airbag deployment or after 3 seat belt deployments. 22 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved. Chevrolet Lumina TRAINING Accident with side air bag deployment Important: The following must be replaced after a accident: ● Side impact sensors(SIS), on the side of the impact. ● Side impact airbags, on the side of the impact ● Roof rail module, on the side of the impact. ● The steering column, inspect for excessive movement. ● Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module SDM. ● All occupied seatbelts, including seat belt on impacted side. Sensor Replacement Guidelines Important: The SIR front/side air bag sensor replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of accident damage. The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed, bent, or damaged due to a collision. An example of this would be a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle impacts a tree. The SIR front sensor must be replaced. ● Replace the sensor whether or not the airbags have deployed. ● Replace the sensor even if it appears to be undamaged. Important: Sensor damage which is not visible, such as slight bending of the mounting bracket or cuts in the wire insulation, can cause improper operation of the SIR/side air bag sensing system. Do not try to determine whether the sensor is undamaged. Replace the sensor. Also, if you follow a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) table and a malfunctioning sensor is indicated, replace the sensor. 23 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved.

The SDM compares the results of the calculations to values stored in memory. When these calculations exceed the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow through the appropriate deployment loops to deploy the air bags. PPS The PPS is used to monitor the weight of an occupant on the front outboard passenger seat and communicate the status to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) whether to enable or suppress the deployment of the instrument panel (I/P) module. The PPS consist of an electronic control module, silicone filled sensor pad, pressure sensor, seat belt tension sensor, wiring harness, and PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators. The silicone filled sensor pad is located under the passenger seat foam cushion. The weight of the occupant sitting in the front passenger seat is measured as a pressure change within the bladder by the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor sends a voltage signal to the PPS module. If the pressure from the occupants weight is less than a specified value, the PPS module will send a suppress signal to the SDM to disable the I/P module. If the pressure from the occupants weight is higher than a specified value, the PPS module will send an enable signal to the SDM to enable the I/P module. The PPS module will notify the customer of the enable/disable status by turning on one of the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators located on the instrument panel. 37 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved. TRAINING Hummer SPS The seat position sensor (SPS) is used to determine the proximity of a front driver or passenger seat position with respect to the frontal air bag. The SPS interfaces with the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The state of the SPS allows the SDM to disable stage 2 of the frontal air bag for a front seat that is forward of a forward/rearward point in seat track travel. The SPS is a Hall effect sensor that is mounted on the outboard seat track of both the driver and passenger seats. The seat track includes a metal bracket that shunts the SPS magnetic circuit creating two states of seat position.Its important to understand that the SPS is secondary to the passenger presence system (PPS) in the disable mode the passenger air bag will not deploy regardless of the SPS status. Inflatable Restraint Seat Belt Passenger Sensor The seat belt tension sensor is used to enhance the Passenger Presence System (PPS) when an infant car seat is properly restrained on the front outboard passenger seat. The seat belt tension sensor is a 3-wire potentiometer mounted on the lower seat belt anchor and provides an input to the PPS module. When an infant car seat is properly restrained on the front passenger seat, the seat belt is tightly secured through the infant car seat. The seat belt pulls on the tension sensor and changes the voltage signal to the PPS module. The PPS module uses the voltage signal to help determine if a tightly belted infant car seat is installed. The PPS uses the inputs from the seat belt tension sensor and the PPS pressure sensor to determine if the instrument panel (I/P) module should be suppressed or enabled. Inflatable Restraint Vehicle Rollover sensor The vehicle rollover sensor is used to supplement the side Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) uses the input from the vehicle rollover sensor to assist in determining the severity of a vehicle rollover or near rollover condition. If the SDM determines a deployment is warranted, the SDM will send a signal for the curtain airbags to deploy. Airbag Indicator The AIR BAG indicator, located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) is used to notify the driver of Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System malfunctions and to verify that the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is communicating with the IPC. 38 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved. Hummer TRAINING Passenger Air Bag ON/OFF Indicators The PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF indicators located on the instrument panel are used to notify the driver when the Passenger Presence System (PPS) has enabled or disabled the instrument panel (I/P) inflator module. Dual Stage Inflator Modules Dual stage inflator modules contain a housing, inflatable air bag, 2 initiating devices, canister of gas generating material and, in some cases, stored compressed gas. The 2 initiators are part of the inflator module deployment loop. The inflator modules have 2 stages of deployment, which varies the amount of restraint to the occupant according to the collision severity. For moderate frontal collisions the inflator modules deploy at less than full deployment which consists of stage 1 of the inflator module. For more severe frontal collisions a full deployment is initiated which consists of stage 1 and stage 2 of the inflator module. Steering Wheel Coil The steering wheel module coil is attached to the steering column and is located under the steering wheel. The steering wheel module coil consists of 2 or more current-carrying coils. The coils allow the rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous electrical contact between the driver airbag and steering column. Front End Sensors The front end sensors are electronic and provide inputs to the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). Wiring Harness The wiring harnesses connect the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), inflator modules, Passenger Presence System (PPS), front end sensors, seat position sensors (SPS), passenger seat belt tension retractor sensor, and the serial data circuit together using weather pack connectors. Seat Belt Pretensioner The seat belt pretensioner consist of a housing, a seat belt retractor, the seat belt webbing, an initiator, and a canister of gas generating materials. When the vehicle is involved in a collision of sufficient force, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) causes current to flow through the seat belt deployment loops to the initiator. Current passing through the initiator ignites the material in the canister producing a rapid generation of gas. The gas produced from this reaction deploys the seat belt pretensioner and retracts the seat belt webbing, which removes all of the slack in the seat belts. Depending on the severity of the collision, the seat belt pretensioner may deploy without the frontal inflator modules deploying, or they will deploy immediately before the frontal inflator modules deploy. 39 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved. TRAINING Hummer Steering Wheel and Column The steering wheel and column are designed to absorb energy when driver contact is made with the steering wheel or inflated air bag. In a frontal collision the driver may contact the steering wheel directly or load the steering wheel and column through the inflated air bag. When the driver applies load to the air bag or steering wheel the column will compress downward absorbing some of the impact, helping to reduce bodily injuries to the driver. The steering wheel and column must be inspected for damage after a collision. Driver and Passenger Knee Bolsters The knee bolsters are designed to help restrain the lower torsos of front seat occupants by absorbing energy through the front seat occupants upper legs. In a frontal collision the front seat occupants legs may come in contact with the knee bolsters. The knee bolsters are designed to crush or deform absorbing some of the impact, which helps to reduce bodily injuries. The driver and passenger knee bolsters are located in the lower part of the instrument panel and must be inspected for damage after a collision. 40 © 2008 General Motors Corporation.

Cadillac/Saab TRAINING Cadillac/Saab Body Among the characteristic elements of the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan's body are high torsional rigidty, a sturdy and stable cabin enclosure, generous front and rear deformation zones and very effective side impact protection. The body of the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan is constructed to create a survival zone for the driver and all passengers in the event of a collision. The large front deformation zones are designed to create a stable and robust deformation characteristics. The central member distributes the force to a large surface. The front structure has three load routes per side. These load routes are linked together via crossmembers to distribute the force. The most important component in the event of a side impact is the B-pillar, which is designed to make use of the "pendulum effect". The B-pillar is extremely stiff in the middle and slightly softer in its upper and lower sections. This results in the B-pillar acting as a pendulum and distributing forces via the sill into the car. The front doors have angled door members that direct the forces into the B-pillar and intensify the pendulum effect. Because of the powerful design of the B-pillar and the pendulum effect, a greater portion of the force is directed towards the lower midsection of the body instead of the softer areas at chest height. 51 © 2008 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved. TRAINING Cadillac/Saab It is of great importance that the characteristics of the energy-absorbing deformation zones and the stabile cabin enclosure are not impaired or changed if the body is repaired. The cabin enclosure must never be weaker after a repair. At the same time, the deformation zones must never be made stronger than they were before the damage was done. If the front or rear is too strong, it will intensify the forces instead of retarding them, which, in turn, will increase the strain on the passengers. Body Reinforcements The body is reinforced in the areas that are most vulnerable in the event of a collision. These reinforcements are manufactured with high-strength steel. 1) Lower section of A-pillar 2) Upper section of A-pillar 3) Sill 4) B-pillar 5) Upper part of wheel housing 6) Lower part of wheel 52 © 2008 General Motors Corporation.
