Be aware that there are special things
to know mout 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.
This
part describes the driver’s restraint system.
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.
3.
4.
Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let
it get twisted.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it
is secure. If
the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender” at the end
of this section.
Make sure
the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able
to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.

Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink
of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating
air bag,
it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position before and during a
crash. Always wear your safety belt., even with air
bags. The driver should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
A CAUTION:
An inflating air bag can seriously injure small
children. Always secure children properly in your
vehicle.
To read how, see the part of this manual
called “Children”
and the caution label on the
right front passenger’s safety belt.
AIR BAG
There is an air bag readiness
light
on the instrument panel,
which shows
AIR BAG.
The system checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See “Air
Bag Readiness Light” in the Index
for more information.

will suddenly become a 240-1b. (110 kg) force on
your arms. The baby would be almost impossible
to hold.
Secure the baby in an infant restraint.

Be sure the child restraint is designed to be used in a
vehicle, If it is, it will have a label saying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Then 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 to do that.
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. No172r put a rear-facing
child restraint

the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint
in your vehicle -- even when no child is in it.

obtain
a kit with anchor hardware and installation

dealer can then install the anchor for you. In Canada,
this work will
be done for you free of charge. Or, you
may install the anchor yourself using the instructions
provided in the kit.

you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your
Cadillac dealer

anchor yourself,
your dealer can tell you how to do it.

of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.
