SAFETYBELT USE DURING PREGNANCY
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured
if they don’t wear
safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as low aspossible thr*oughout the-pregnancy.
The best way’to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts
effective is wearing them properly.

shorter,
pull its free
end as shown until
the belt is snug.
Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part
of a
lap-shoulder belt.
If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender”
at the end
of this section. 7
Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be
able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
REAR SEAT PASSENGERS
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident
statistics show that unbelted people
in the rear seat are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.

Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash.

CHILD RESTRAINTS ..
., . .. .. I_
Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These
restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be
secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
The instructions that come with the infant or child restraint
will show you
how to do that.
Mere to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in
the rear rather than the front seat. We at General Motors therefore
recommend that
you put your child restraint in the rear seat. NEVER put
a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. Here’s why:

Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a
collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint
in your vehicle
in it.

Top Strap
If your child restraint
has
a top strap, it
should be anchored.
t. A
If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your Cadillac dealer
to put it
in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer
can tell you
how to do it.
For cars first sold in Canada, child restraints with a top strap must be
anchored according to Canadian Law.
Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit and install it for you, or you may
install it yourself using the instructions provided
in the kit.
Use the tether hardware kit available from the dealer. The hardware and
installation instructions were specifically designed for this vehicle.

small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still is
on the child’s shoulder, so that in a crash the
child’s upper body would. have the restraint that belts provide.
If the
child
is so small that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child’s
face or neck, you might want to place the child in the center seat
position, the one that has
only a lap belt.

Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key’II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key% is a
passive theft deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition. PASS-Key’II uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key% system senses that someone is using the wrong
key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine.
If
someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle
will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellets
in an attempt to make a
match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start.
If the engine does not start and the -
STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM REMOVE L1
IGNITION KEY messgge is displayed the key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the ignition
off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try again. The
SECURITY light
will remain on during this time. If the starter still won’t
work, and the key appears to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes
and try the other ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check
the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be faulty. See your Cadillac dealer or
a locksmith who can service the PASS-K@II.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work, you don’t have to wait three minutes before trying
one
of the other ignition keys.
See your Cadillac dealer
or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key@II
to have
a new key made.
