40 Seats and Restraints
To adjust the seat:
.Move the seat forward or
rearward by sliding the
control forward or rearward.
.Raise or lower the front part
of the seat cushion by
moving the front of the
control up or down.
.Raise or lower the entire
seat by moving the rear of

To adjust the seatback, see
Reclining Seatbacks 040.
To adjust the lumbar support,
see Lumbar Adjustment 041.
Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position
when the vehicle is in motion
can be dangerous. Even
when buckled up, the seat
belts cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it
will be in front of you. In a
crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt could go up
over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not
at your pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries.
For proper protection when
the vehicle is in motion, have
the seatback upright. Then
sit well back in the seat and
wear the seat belt properly.
Do not have a seatback
reclined if the vehicle is
moving.

there. Always push and pull
on the seatbacks to be sure
they are locked.
{Warning
A seat belt that is
improperly routed, not
properly attached,
or twisted will not provide
the protection needed in a
crash. The person wearing
the belt could be seriously
injured. After raising the rear
seatback, always check to
be sure that the seat belts
are properly routed and
attached, and are not
twisted.
To raise a seatback: 1. Lift the seatback up and push it rearward to lock it in
place. A tab near the seatback
handle retracts when the
seatback is locked in place.
2. Push and pull the top of the seatback to be sure it is
locked into position.
3. Repeat the steps to raise the other seatback,
if necessary.

should be kept in the upright,
locked position.

50 Seats and Restraints
If equipped, the buttons are on

Mor
Lto heat the left or right
outboard seat cushion and
seatback. An indicator on the
rear climate control display
appears when this feature

Seat Belts
This section describes how to
use seat belts properly, and
some things not to do.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride
where a seat belt cannot be
worn properly. In a crash,
if you or your passenger(s)
are not wearing seat belts,
injuries can be much worse
than if you are wearing seat
belts. You can be seriously
injured or killed by hitting
things inside the vehicle
harder or by being ejected
from the vehicle. In addition,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
anyone who is not buckled
up can strike other
passengers in the vehicle.
It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, passengers riding
in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed. Do not allow
passengers to ride in any
area of the vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and
seat belts.
Always wear a seat belt, and
check that all passenger(s)
are restrained properly too.
This vehicle has indicators as
a reminder to buckle the seat
belts. See Seat Belt
Reminders 0112.

Why Seat Belts Work
When riding in a vehicle, you
travel as fast as the vehicle
does. If the vehicle stops
suddenly, you keep going until
something stops you. It could
be the windshield, the
instrument panel, or the seat
belts!
When you wear a seat belt,
you and the vehicle slow down
together. There is more time
to stop because you stop over
a longer distance and, when
worn properly, your strongest
bones take the forces fromthe seat belts. That is why
wearing seat belts makes such
good sense.
Questions and Answers
About Seat Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the
vehicle after a crash if I am
wearing a seat belt?
A: You could be —whether you
are wearing a seat belt or
not. Your chance of being
conscious during and after a
crash, so you can unbuckle
and get out, is much greater
if you are belted.
Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear
seat belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental
systems only. They work
with seat belts —not
instead of them. Whether or
not an airbag is provided, all
occupants still have to
buckle up to get the most
protection. Also, in nearly all states and
in all Canadian provinces,
the law requires wearing
seat belts.
Buckle To Drive
If equipped, this feature
prevents the vehicle from
shifting out of P (Park) when
the driver seat belt is not
buckled. The Buckle to Drive
feature must be turned ON in
the infotainment system to
work. To turn the Buckle to
Drive feature on or off, select
Settings > Vehicle > Buckle to
Drive. See Teen Driver
0178,
if equipped.
If the vehicle is on and the
brake pedal is pressed with
the vehicle in P (Park) but the
driver seat belt is not buckled,
a message displays in the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
and the vehicle will be
prevented from shifting out of
P (Park). Buckle the driver seat
belt to clear the message and
shift out of P (Park). Shifting

2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
52 Seats and Restraints
from P (Park) will be prevented
once for each time the vehicle
is started.
On some models, Buckle to
Drive may also prevent
shifting out of P (Park) if a
front passenger seat belt is
unbuckled. A message displays
in the DIC. Buckle the front
passenger seat belt to clear
the message and shift out of
P (Park). This feature may not
allow the vehicle to shift out of
P (Park) if an object, such as a
briefcase, handbag, grocery
bag, laptop, or other electronic
device, is on the front
passenger seat. If this
happens, remove the object
from the seat or buckle the
seat belt to shift out of
P (Park).
If the driver, or on some
vehicles, the present front
passenger remains unbuckled,
the DIC message will turn off
after several seconds and the
vehicle can be shifted out of
P (Park). See“Seat Belts”and“Child Restraints”
in the Index
for information about the
importance of proper
restraint use.
If the driver seat belt or the
front passenger seat belt is
unbuckled when driving, the
seat belt reminder chime and
light(s) will come on. See Seat
Belt Reminders 0112. This
feature may not function
properly if the airbag
readiness light is on. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0112.
How to Wear Seat
Belts Properly
Follow these rules for
everyone's protection.
There are additional things to
know about seat belts and
children, including smaller
children and infants. If a child
will be riding in the vehicle, see
Older Children 073 or
Infants and Young Children
0 75. Review and follow the
rules for children in addition to
the following rules. It is very important for all
occupants to buckle up.
Statistics show that unbelted
people are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are
wearing seat belts.
There are important things to
know about wearing a seat
belt properly.
.Sit up straight and always
keep your feet on the floor in
front of you (if possible).
.Wear the lap part of the belt
low and snug on the hips,
just touching the thighs. In a
crash, this applies force to
the strong pelvic bones and

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Seats and Restraints 53
you would be less likely to
slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
.Wear the shoulder belt over
the shoulder and across the
chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take
belt restraining forces. The
shoulder belt locks if there is
a sudden stop or crash.
{Warning
You can be seriously injured,
or even killed, by not
wearing your seat belt
properly.
Never allow the lap or
shoulder belt to become loose
or twisted.Never wear the shoulder belt
under both arms or behind
your back.
