Replacing Seat Belt
System Parts after a
Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the
seat belt system in the
vehicle. A damaged seat belt
system may not properly
protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To
help make sure the seat belt
systems are working
properly after a crash, have
them inspected and any
necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.
After a minor crash,
replacement of seat belts may
not be necessary. But the seat
belt assemblies that were
used during any crash may
have been stressed or
damaged. See your dealer to
have the seat belt assemblies
inspected or replaced. New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the seat belt
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
Have the seat belt
pretensioners checked if the
vehicle has been in a crash,
or if the airbag readiness light
stays on after you start the
vehicle or while you are
driving. See Airbag Readiness
Light
0132.
Airbag System
The vehicle has the following
airbags:
.A frontal airbag for the
driver
.A frontal airbag for the front
outboard passenger
.A knee airbag for the driver
.A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the driver
.A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the front outboard
passenger
.A roof-rail airbag for the
driver and for the second
and third row passengers
seated directly behind the
driver
.A roof-rail airbag for the
front outboard passenger
and for the second and third
row passengers seated
directly behind the front
outboard passenger
All vehicle airbags have the
word AIRBAG on the trim or
on a label near the deployment
opening.
For frontal airbags, the word
AIRBAG is on the center of the
steering wheel for the driver
and on the instrument panel
for the front outboard
passenger.
For knee airbags, the word
AIRBAG is on the lower part of
the instrument panel.

positions with seat-mounted
side impact airbags and/or
roof-rail airbags.
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag
when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed.
Always secure children
properly in the vehicle. To
read how, see Older
Children085 or
Infants and Young Children
0 86.
There is an airbag readiness
light on the instrument cluster,
which shows the airbag
symbol. The system checks the airbag electrical system
for malfunctions. The light tells
you if there is an electrical
problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light
0132 for
more information.
Where Are the
Airbags?
The driver frontal airbag is in
the center of the steering
wheel.
The front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is in the
passenger side instrument
panel.

windshield breakage may also
occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to
inflate only once. After an
airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the
airbag system. If you do not
get them, the airbag system
will not be there to help
protect you in another crash.
A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service
manual for the vehicle
covers the need to replace
other parts.
.The vehicle has a crash
sensing and diagnostic
module which records
information after a crash.
See Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy0479 and
Event Data Recorders 0480.
.Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag system.
Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will
not work properly. See your
dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing
System
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position.
The passenger airbag status
indicator will light on the
overhead console when the
vehicle is started.
The words ON and OFF, and
the symbols for on and off, will
be visible during the system
check. When the system check
is complete, either the word
ON or OFF, and the symbol for
on or off, will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0133. The passenger sensing
system turns off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag under certain
conditions. No other airbag is
affected by the passenger
sensing system.
The passenger sensing
system works with sensors
that are part of the front
outboard passenger seat and
seat belt. The sensors are
designed to detect the
presence of a properly seated
occupant and determine if the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag should be
allowed to inflate or not.
According to accident
statistics, children are safer
when properly secured in a
rear seat in the correct child
restraint for their weight
and size.
Whenever possible, children
aged 12 and under should be
secured in a rear seating
position.

Seats and Restraints 79
Never put a rear-facing child
seat in the front. This is
because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag inflates.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the
passenger frontal airbag
inflates. This is because the
back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very
close to the inflating airbag.
A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if
the passenger frontal airbag
inflates and the passenger
seat is in a forward position.
Even if the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the passenger frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe.
No one can guarantee that
an airbag will not deploy(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
under some unusual
circumstance, even though
the airbag is turned off.
Never put a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat,
even if the airbag is off.
If securing a forward-facing
child restraint in the front
outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better
to secure child restraints in
the rear seat. Consider
using another vehicle to
transport the child when a
rear seat is not available.
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag if:
.The front outboard
passenger seat is
unoccupied.
.The system determines an
infant is present in a child
restraint.
.A front outboard passenger
takes his/her weight off of
the seat for a period of time.
.There is a critical problem
with the airbag system or
the passenger sensing
system.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, the OFF
indicator will light and stay lit
as a reminder that the airbag
is off. See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator 0133.
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn on
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag anytime the
system senses that a person
of adult size is sitting properly
in the front outboard
passenger seat.

Cadillac XT6 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16405819) -

80 Seats and Restraints
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbag
to be enabled, the ON
indicator will light and stay lit
as a reminder that the airbag
is active.
For some children, including
children in child restraints, and
for very small adults, the
passenger sensing system
may or may not turn off the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, depending upon
the person's seating posture
and body build. Everyone in
the vehicle who has outgrown
child restraints should wear a
seat belt properly—whether
or not there is an airbag for
that person.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light
ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may
be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light0132 for more
information, including
important safety
information.
If the On Indicator Is Lit
for a Child Restraint
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag if the system
determines that an infant is
present in a child restraint. If a
child restraint has been
installed and the ON indicator
is lit:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle.
3. Remove any additional items from the seat such
as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers. 4. Reinstall the child restraint
following the directions
provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and
refer to Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Rear Seat) 0102
or Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat)
0 104.
Make sure the seat belt
retractor is locked by
pulling the shoulder belt all
the way out of the
retractor when installing
the child restraint, even if
the child restraint is
equipped with a seat belt
lock off. When the
retractor lock is set, the
belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the
retractor.
5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and
restarting the vehicle, the
ON indicator is still lit, turn
the vehicle off. Then
slightly recline the vehicle

(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
resulting in serious injury or
even death. To help make
sure the airbag systems are
working properly after a
crash, have them inspected
and any necessary
replacements made as soon
as possible.
If an airbag inflates, you will
need to replace airbag system
parts. See your dealer for
service.
If the airbag readiness light
stays on after the vehicle is

Seats and Restraints 105
Warning (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag is off.
If you secure a
forward-facing child
restraint in the front
outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better
to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
See Passenger Sensing
System078 for additional
information.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 092 for top
tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether
anchor if a national or local law
requires that the top tether be
anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether,
and that the tether be
attached.
When using the lap-shoulder
belt to secure the child
restraint in this position, follow
the instructions that came
with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the
forward-facing child
restraint. Move the seat
upward or the seatback to
an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child
restraint. There must be
finger clearance between
the push button and the
child restraint. When the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag,
the OFF indicator on the
passenger airbag status
indicator should light and
stay lit when you start the
vehicle. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator
0
133.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle
seat belt through or
around the restraint.
Ensure the seat belt
webbing is routed as direct
as possible and is not
caught on seat handles or
plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will
show you how.

Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying
attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on
briefly when the engine is
started to indicate they are
working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and
stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows
there may be a problem, check
the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even
dangerous.
