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. 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 crash.

blink of an eye. If you’re e00 close to an inflating
air
bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep
you in position before and during a
crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with air
bags. The driver should sit as far bark as possible
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
An inflating
air bag can seriously injure small
children. Always secure children properly
in your
vehicle.
To read how, see the part of this manual

Be sure the child restraint is designed to be used in a
vehicle. If it is, it will have a label saying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Then 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.
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: Wherever
you install it, be
sure to secure the child
restrain1 properly.
Keep in mind that
an unsecured child restraint can mow
around
in a collision 0%' sudden stop and injure people ir
the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint
in yo~ar vehicle -- even when no child is in it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your child restraint has a top strap, your dealer can
obtain a kit with anchor hardware and installation
instructions specifically designed
for this vehicle. The
dealer can then install the anchor for you. In Canada,
this work will be done for you free of charge. Or, you
may install the anchor yourself using the instructions
provided
in the kit.
Securing a Child estraint in a
Outside Seat Position
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored.
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.
Canadian law requires that child restraints have a top
strap, and that the strap be anchored. You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See
the earlier part
about the top strap if
the child restraint has one.

Your vehicle has
a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
A child in a rearfacing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s
air bag inflates. This is because the back
of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rearfacing
child restraint in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as
far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing chld restraint. (See
“Seats” in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
3. Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
