let it go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work
for an adult or
larger child passenger.
Larger Children
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.
Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown out in a crash.
Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other people who are.

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.

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

you. Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will
your ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.

the day setting.
To keep the photocells operating well, occasionally clean them with a
cotton swab and glass cleaner.
M This turns on the day/night portion of the mirror to automatically
reduce glare.
C/M: This setting turns on the compass in addition to the day/night
function.
A letter denoting the direction headed will appear in the top
right corner
of the mirror.
Once the compass is calibrated, it does not need to be recalibrated.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Set the switch on the mirror control to C/M.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition switch ON. The letter C should be displayed
in the mirror compass window.
If not, hold the Cal switch (bottom of
the mirror) for more than 10 seconds, and the letter C will appear. To
hold in the Cal switch, insert a paper clip into the small hold on the
bottom
of the mirror housing. The display will show a number first, but
keep holding until the letter
C appears. & -a
3. For quick calibration, drive the vehicle in a 360-degree circle at less
than
5 mph (8 kmlh) until the display reads a compass direction. For -
normal calibration, drive the vehicle on your everyday routine, and the
compass
will eventually calibrate.
