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. And they can strike others in the vehicle who are wearing
safety belts.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder belts. Here’s how to
wear one properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’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.
0 Children who aren’t buckled up can bc thrown out in a crash.
0 Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other people who are.

THEFT
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number of theft detcrrent features, we
know that nothing
we put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an easy target
for
joy riders or professional thieves -- so don't do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open
the driver's door, you'll hear a
chime reminding you
to remove your key from the ignition and take it
with you. Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will
your ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out
of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take
them with
you.
