Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs.
In a crash, this applies force to the
strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely
to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen.
This could cause
serious
or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop
or a crash,
or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
/! CAUT,,A
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is
too loose.
In a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.

positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
6. Pull the rest of the lap belt all the way out of the
retractor to set the lock.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The oval key is for the
doors and all other locks. When
a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes
the plug from the door key. The plug has a code on
it
that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. The ignition key has a bar code tag
attached
to it rather than a knock out plug. Your dealer
or qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the bar code tag.
Keep the
bar code tag and the door key plugs in a safe
place.
If you lose your keys, you will be able to have
new ones made using the plug or bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have
a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle
if you ever
lock your keys inside and you may have to damage your vehicle to get in. Be sure you
have extra keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use either the door key or the Remote
Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors with the key or
RKE
transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm. Push the manual lock lever forward to lock the
door
from the inside. To unlock the door, pull back on
the lever.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with
the optional theft-deterrent system. When unlocking
either front door, you can unlock the other doors by
holding the key in the turned position for a few seconds
or by quickly turning the door key twice in the
lock cylinder.

Press the power door lock to
lock or unlock all the doors
at once. The rear power
door locks only provide a
lock function as a safety
feature. They will not
unlock the doors.
Automatic Door Locks
Close your doors and turn on the ignition. Every time
you move the shift lever out of PARK (P), all of the
doors will lock. The doors will unlock every time you
stop the vehicle and move the shift lever into PARK (P).
If someone needs to get out while your vehicle is not in
PARK (P), have that person use the manual or power
lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Use the manual or power lock to lock the
door again.
If you need to lock the doors before shifting
out of PARK (P), use the manual or power lock button
to lock the doors.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
(If Equipped)
With the ignition in the RUN position, the door locks
can be programmed through prompts displayed by the
Driver Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow
the driver to choose various lock settings.
To begin programming, press and hold the
INFORMATION (INFO) and RESET
(INFO RESET)
buttons at the same time to display the following prompts.
DOORS LOCK IN GEAR: All doors automatically
lock when shifted out of PARK (P).
DOORS UNLOCK IN PARK: All doors automatically
lock when shifted out of PARK (P). All doors
automatically unlock when shifted into PARK (P).

holding the power door lock switch for three seconds
or longer.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.
