child lock CADILLAC SEVILLE 1997 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This part is only for people of adult size.
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.

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.
I
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use either the door key or the Remote
Keyless Entry
(RE) transmitter.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors with the key
or RKE
transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm.
a Slide the manual lock>lever down to lock the door from
the inside.
To unlock the door, slide the lock lever up.
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped
with the optional theft-deterrent system. When
unlocking either front door, you can unlock the other
doors by holding the key in the turned position for a
few seconds or by quickly rotating the door key twice
in the lock cylinder.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Pressing the button
down will disable the
rear passenger window
controls. This
is a useful
feature
if you have children
as passengers. Press the
button again to allow your
passengers
to reuse their
window controls.
The horn can be sounded
by pressing on the center of
the steering wheel pad.
Hoid the steering wheel and pull the lever toward you
to tilt the wheel. Adjust the steering wheel to a
comfortable position and then release the lever to
lock the wheel in place.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come
over a hill and
find
a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out fr~1-11 nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right
in front of you. You can
avoid these problems
by braking -- if you can stop
in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t roonl.
That‘s
the time for evasive action -- steering around
the problem.
Your Cadillac can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking
in
Emergencies” earlier in this section.) It is better to
remove as much speed as you can from a possible
collision.
Then steer around the problem, to the left or
right depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it
a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But
you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just
as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is
a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
