Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine HOW TO WEM SAFETYBELTS PROPERLY
Adults
This part 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 part of this manual 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.
DRIVER POSITION
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit up
straight.

Be Sure to 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
I to do that.

Were to Put the Restraint
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 restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a
collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly
secure any child restraint in
your vehicle -- even when no child is in it.

Position
rour vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never put a rear-facing
child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:

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 child
restraint. (See “Seats”
in the Index.)

restraint.

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.
Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown out in a crash.
Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other people who are.

Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so
r small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child's face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still is on the child's shoulder,
so that in a crash the
child's upper body would have the restraint that belts provide.
If the
child is
so small that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child's
face or neck, you might want to place the child in the center seat
position, the one that has only a lap belt.
