It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident
statistics
show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can
be thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash. And they can strike others in the vehicle who are wearing
safety belts.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions
u
The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder belts. Here’s how to
wear one properly.

1. Pick up the latch
plate and pull the
belt
across you.
Don’t let it get
twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

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.

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 imition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys
inside, it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t
do
it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take
it
with you. Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will
your ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock
the doors.
Parkina
at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them
with you.
Parkina Lots: If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
a Then take the door key with you.

To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the theft deterrent system
when leaving your vehicle.
PASS-KEY 11 TM
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1 TM (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key I1
TM is a
passive theft deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition. PASS-Key
’“ uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
I1 TM system senses that someone is using the wrong
key,
it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel
won’t go to the engine. If
someone tries
to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle
will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt
to make a
match.
The ignition
key must be clean and dry before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start. If the “SECURITY” light comes
on, the key
may be dirty or wet.
If this happens and the starter won’t work, turn the ignition off. Clean
and
dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try again. The security
light
will remain on during this time. If the starter still won’t work, and
