88 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
To assist in locating the top tether
anchors, the top tether anchor symbol
is on the cover.
The outboard lower anchors are
behind the vertical openings in the
seat trim.
Sedan Shown, Coupe Similar
The top tether anchors are behind the
rear seat, on the filler panel. Open the
covers to access the anchors. Be sure
to use an anchor on the same side of
the vehicle as the seating position
where the child restraint will be
placed.
Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be attached, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must
be attached. According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child restraint
system or infant restraint system
secured in a rear seating position. See
Where to Put the Restraint
084 for
additional information.
Securing a Child Restraint
Designed for the LATCH System
{Warning
If a LATCH-type child restraint is
not attached to anchors, the child
restraint will not be able to protect
the child correctly. In a crash, the
child could be seriously injured or
killed. Install a LATCH-type child
restraint properly using the
anchors, or use the vehicle's safety
belts to secure the restraint,
following the instructions that
came with the child restraint and
the instructions in this manual.

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 89
{Warning
To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injuries during a crash, do not
attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor.
Attaching more than one child
restraint to a single anchor could
cause the anchor or attachment to
come loose or even break during a
crash. A child or others could be
injured.
{Warning
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is
wrapped around their neck. The
shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is locked.
The shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the
retractor. It unlocks when the
shoulder belt is allowed to go all
the way back into the retractor, but
it cannot do this if it is wrapped(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
around a child’s neck. If the
shoulder belt is locked and
tightened around a child’s neck, the
only way to loosen the belt is to
cut it.
Buckle any unused safety belts
behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them. Pull
the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock, and
tighten the belt behind the child
restraint after the child restraint
has been installed.
Caution
Do not let the LATCH attachments
rub against the vehicle’s safety
belts. This may damage these parts.
If necessary, move buckled safety
belts to avoid rubbing the LATCH
attachments.(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
Do not fold the rear seatback when
the seat is occupied. Do not fold the
empty rear seat with a safety belt
buckled. This could damage the
safety belt or the seat. Unbuckle
and return the safety belt to its
stowed position, before folding
the seat.
If you need to secure more than one
child restraint in the rear seat, see
Where to Put the Restraint 084.
This system is designed to make the
installation of child restraints easier.
When using lower anchors, do not use
the vehicle's safety belts. Instead, use
the vehicle's anchors and child
restraint attachments to secure the
restraints. Some restraints also use
another vehicle anchor to secure a top
tether.
1. Attach and tighten the lower attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower attachments
or the desired seating position

or head restraint and route
the tether under the
headrest or head restraint
and in between the
headrest or head restraint
posts.
If the position you are
using has an adjustable
headrest or head restraint
and you are using a dual
tether, raise the headrest
or head restraint and route
the tether under the
headrest or head restraint
and around the headrest or
head restraint posts.
3. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To check,
grasp the child restraint at the LATCH path and attempt to
move it side to side and back
and forth. There should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement for proper
installation.
Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged
LATCH system may not properly
secure the child restraint, resulting
in serious injury or even death in a
crash. To help make sure the
LATCH system is working properly
after a crash, see your dealer to
have the system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a crash,
new LATCH system parts may be
needed. New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH system
was not being used at the time of the
crash.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Safety Belt in the
Rear Seat)
When securing a child restraint in a
rear seating position, study the
instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is compatible
with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 085 for
how and where to install the child
restraint using LATCH. If a child
restraint is secured in the vehicle
using a safety belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 085 for
top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the

Cadillac ATS/ATS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-MidEast-10287885) -

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 93
regarding the use of the top
tether. SeeLower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) 085 for more
information.
6. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Refer to
your child restraint manufacturer
instructions.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
If the top tether is attached to a top
tether anchor, disconnect it.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Safety Belt in the
Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is
a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint 084.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System 073 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0113.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great, if the
airbag deploys.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating airbag.
A child in a forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger airbag(s), no
system is fail-safe. No one can (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though the
airbag(s) are off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag(s)
are off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the
front outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far back as
it will go. It is better to secure the
child restraint in a rear seat.
SeePassenger Sensing System 073
for additional information.
If the child restraint uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 085 for top
tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top strap must
be anchored.
