The Control Panel is located on the center console.
Move the switch to
either
LO or HI to
turn on the heating
element
in the seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use
on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature. On colder days, the
HI setting heats the seats to an
even higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to
automatically maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale
light in the control switch reminds
you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is turned on, and are deactivated
when the ignition is turned off.

When the key is turned to “Run” or “Start,” a light will come on for
about
75 seconds and a chime for about 8 seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’s safety belt is already buckled
then neither the lighter chime will come on.
HOW TO WEU SAFETYBELTS PROPERLY
Adults
This section is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things
to know about 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 later in this section,
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.

5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then
sit back.
If you've added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out as you did before and start again.
If you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder
belt, the belt will become tight again.
If this happens, you can reset it.
