To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's safety \
belt and
let it go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be ready
to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.

A
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the veh\
icle's
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can
wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt
can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are safer
if they are restrained in
the rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly.

Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so
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.

If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use\
it.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you
an extender. It’s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat
-
you will wear, so the extender will be long enough for you. The extender b
will be just for you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that you choose.
Don’t let someone else use it, and use
it only for the seat it is made to fit. -
To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety belt.
CHECKING YOUR RESTMNT SYSTEMS
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any
loose parts or damage. If you see anything that might keep a restraint
system from doing its job, have it repaired.
REPLACING SAFETYBELTSAFTER A
CRASH
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?
After a
very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts
were stretched, as they would be
if worn during a more severe crash, then
you need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may
mean you
will need to have safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced.
New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt wasn’t being used -
at the time of the collision.

A: The belt is tom.
Tom or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart
under impact forces.
If a belt is tom or frayed, get a new one right away.

When a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs from
the keys.
Each plug has a code on it that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. However, the ignition keys do not have a
knockout plug. The ignition keys have a bar code tag attached to them.
Your dealer or qualified locksmith, by reading the bar code tag, can then
make your ignition keys.
There are
15 alternative ignition Pass Key 11' blanks to help discourage
theft. Keep the bar code tag and the door key plugs in a safe place. If you
loose your keys you will be able to have new ones made easily using the
plug or bar code tag.
