tells you some things you should not do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.
A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a sa
belt, your injuries can be much worse. You can hit things
the vehicle
or be ejected from it. You can be seriously inj
killed. In the same crash, you might not be if
you are bu
up.
Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your ,*-*:.;...
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too. -1 y* *‘

Sewicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the
air bag system. There are parts
of thc air bag system in several places
around your vehicle.
You don’t want thc systcm to inflate while someonc
is working on your vchicle.Tl1e air bag system docs not need regular
maintenance. Your Cadillac dcalcr and the
1993 Cadillac Service Manual
have information about the air bag system, including repair or disposal.
A CAUTION:
For up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned off and the
battery disconnected, an air bag can still inflate during
improper service.
You can be injured if you are close to an air
bag when it inflates. Be sure to follow the proper service
nrocedu -
When electrical work is done under the hood or inside your vehicle, the
ignition should be
in “Lock” if possible. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape,
or yellow connectors. They are probably part of the air bag system.
Your vehicle has the driver’s air
bag only. The driver’s air bag must be
disconnected
if the ignition has to be on for electrical work or if the the
steering column is
to be disassembled. Disconnect the driver’s air bag like
this:
Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
the Index).
Disconnect the yellow connector at the base of the steering column.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle also has the right-front passenger’s air bag. Both the driver’s
air bag and the right-front passenger’s air bag must
be disconnected if the
ignition
has to be on for electrical work, or if thc steering column or
instrument panel
is to be disasscmbled.
Your vehicles with both a driver’s air bag and
a right-front passenger’s air
bag, you must disconnect both air bags. Follow the procedure above for
the driver’s air bag,
then disconnect the right-front passenger’s air bag
like this:
Turn off ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
the Index).
Remove the trap door located inside the glove
box.
Disconnect the yellow connector.
When the work is complete,
if the air bag system was disconnected, be
sure to reattach everything and replace the fuse. before turning the
ignition
on. When you turn the ignition key on, be sure you see the
inflatable restraint light on the instrument panel. If you don’t see this
light
flash and then go out as usual, have your air bag system repaired.
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 as possible throughout 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 tlw fctus won’t be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant womcn,
as for anyone, the key to making safety bclts
effective
is wearing them properly.
RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION
The right front passenger’s safety belt works thc same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier
in this part.
When the
lap portion of the bclt is pullcd out all the way, it will lock. If it
does, let it go back all the way and start again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Automatic Door Locks (Option)
Just close your doors, turn on the ignition and make sure the interior
courtesy lights are switched
off. Every time you move your shift lever out
of “P” (Park) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you stop and
move your shift lever into
“P” (Park), your doors will unlock. If someone
needs to get out while you’re not in
“P” (Park), have that person use the
manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to lock the door again.
Leaving Your vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, set the locks from inside, get out and close
the door.
Central Door Unlocking System (Option)
Your vehicle may be equipped with this feature. When unlocking either
door, you can unlock the other doors
by holding the key in the turned
position for a few seconds.
Illuminated Entry System
Your illuminated entry system turns on all the courtesy lights when either
door is opened. When the door is closed, the courtesy lights will stay on
for approximately
20 seconds or until the ignition is turned on.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
If your Cadillac has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or
unlock your trunk from
up to 15 feet (4.5 m) using the key chain
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System is intended
to be used as a
supplementary
vehicle entry device. It is not intended to replace, but
rather should be used in conjunction with a door lock key.
It operates on
a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Ehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement
can be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring the remaining
transmitter with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitter must also be matched. Once the
new transmitter is coded, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only
2 transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak
if the transmitter won’t work at the
normal range
in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.
