This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the Index.)
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.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are
in between.
In many
of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In
most crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time
forces. That’s why safety belts make such good sense.

_- HERE ARE QUESTIONS lMANyPEOPLE
ASKABOUT SAFETYBELTS
--AND THE
ANSWERS
Q t Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle afleer an accident if I’m wearing a safety
belt?
A You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle
a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And
your chance
of being conscious during and after an accident, so you
can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.
Q t Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear safety
At Air bags, or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and will be
in more of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
-- so they work with safety belts, not
belts?

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine instead of them. Every air bag system ever offered for sale has
required the use of safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has
air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most protection. That’s
true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and other
collisions.
Q: IfIh a good driver, and I never drive farfrom home, why should I wear
safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident -- even
one that isn’t your fault
-- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being
a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than
40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
When the key is turned to “Run” or “Start,” a light will come on for
about
75 seconds and a chime for about 8 seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’s safety belt is already buckled,
then neither the light or chime will come on.

Adults
- This section is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and
children. And there are different rules for smaller children and babies. If
a child will be riding in your Cadillac, see the section after this one, called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
