Here Are Questions Many People Ask
About Safety Belts -- and the Answers
&= Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after 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 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: If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have to
A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will
be in most
of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so they work with
safety belts -- not 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.
wear safety belts?
&: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from
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/l-).
Safety belts are for everyone.

Door Locks
1 A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When
a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you
slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your door key.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
unlock the doors with the key or Keyless Entry system.
This
will avoid setting off'the alarm. Slide
the lock lever down
to lock the door from the
inside.
To unlock the door, slide the lock lever up.

Trunk Lid Automatic Pull-Down Feature
A CAUTION:
Your car has an automatic pull-down feature that
helps close the trunk electronically. Your fingers
can be trapped under the trunk lid
as it goes

you
would need someone to help you free them. Keep
your fingers
away from the trunk lid as you close
it and as it is going down.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Cadillac has
a number of theft-deterrent
features, we
know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways
you
can help.
Key in the Ignition

approximately
20 seconds.

lights the way in poor weather and
it also makes your
vehicle more visible to other drivers.
If the wiper
activated headlamps are on, and the ignition switch
is
turned off, the wiper activated headlamps will
immediately turn
off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you
turn off the twilight sentinel or if the windshield wipers
have been turned
off for a period of one or two seconds.
Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you pull the key from
the ignition while leaving the lamps on, if the manual
headlamp control is activated. An exception to this is
when you're using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for-others
to see the front of your vehicle during the
day, DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn't covered.
The
DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is oft' and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
