Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SAFLlTYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EVERYONE
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
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 safety
belt, your injuries can be much worse.
You can hit things inside
the vehicle or be ejected from it.
You can be seriously injured or
killed. In the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.

This figure lights up when you turn the key to “Run” or “Start” when
your safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime, too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here’s why: They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know if it will be a bad one.

Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the
air bag system. There are parts of the air bag system in several places
around your vehicle. You don’t want the system to inflate while someone
is working on your vehicle. The air bag system does not need regular
maintenance. Your Cadillac dealer and the
1993 Cadillac Service Manual
have information about the air bag system, including repair or disposal.

A CAUTION: I
I For up to 2 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
procedures.
I
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 a driver’s air bag and a right front passenger’s air bag.
Both air bags must be disconnected
if the ignition has to be on for
electrical work or if the steering column is to be disassembled.
Disconnect both air bags like this:
Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
Disconnect both yellow connectors at the base of the steering column.

Index).
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.

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 the fetus won’t be hurt
in a
crash. For pregnantwomen, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts
effective is wearing them properly. --
