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.

A CAUTION:
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. jhoul-

The square keys are
for the ignition only.
The round keys are for
the doors and all other
locks.
When a new Cadillac
is delivered, the dealer
removes the plugs
from the keys, and
gives them to the first
owner.
Each plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place.
If you lose your
keys, you'll be able
to have new ones made easily using these plugs. If
your ignition keys don't have plugs, go to your Cadillac dealer for the
~- correct key code if you need a new ignition key.
