1996 CADILLAC SEVILLE door lock

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine c . . .- . '.
For the 1948 model, Cadillac introduced the legendary
tail fin which once more set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades. This was closely
followed with the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille and
the industry's
first modern overhead valve, high
compression
V8 engine on the 1949 model.
Engineering innovations, conveniences and styling
dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, automatic
climate control, tilt and telescoping steering wheels,
twilight sentinel and four door hard tops all debuted in
these years. In 1957 the Eldorado Brougham featured advances such
as air suspension,
memory seat,
automatic electric door locks, transistor radio, a brushed
stainless steel roof and low profile tires.

Adults
This part 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 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.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
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. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
4. 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.
Don’t
let it
get twisted.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How does an air bag restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions,
even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or
the instrument panel. The air bag supplements the
protection provided by safety belts.
Air bags distribute
the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant’s
upper body, stopping the occupant more gradually.
But
air bags would not help you in many types of collisions,
including rollovers, rear impacts and side impacts,
primarily because
an occupant’s motion is not toward the
air bag. Air bags should never be regarded as anything
more than
a supplement to safety belts, and then only in
moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions.
What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occurs
so quickly that some people may not even realize the air
bag inflated. Some components
of the air bag module in
the steering wheel hub for
the driver’s air bag, or the
instrument panel for the right front passenger’s bag, will
be hot for a short time. The part
of the bag that comes
into contact with you
may be warm, but it will never be
too hot to touch. There will be some smoke and dust
coming from vents in the deflated air bags. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver from seeing or from
being able to steer the vehicle, nor will it stop people
from leaving the vehicle.
~
A CAUTION:
When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the
air. This dust could cause breathing problems
for people with a history of asthma
or other
breathing trouble.
To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe to do
so.
If you have breathing problems but can’t get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening
a window or door.
Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors
and turn the interior lamps on when the air bag
inflates
(if battery power is available). But if you want
to, you can lock the doors again and turn the interior
lamps
off by using the door lock and interior lamp
controls.
In many crashes severe enough
to inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur
from the
right front passenger air bag.
0 The air bags are designed to inflate only once. After
they inflate, you’ll need
some new parts for your air

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The square key is for the
ignition only. It has a
resistor pellet which is part
of the vehicle's
PASS-Key@II system.
The oval key is
for the
doors and all other locks. When
a new
Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes
the plug from the door key. The plug has
a code on it
that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. The ignition key has a bar code tag
attached to it rather than
a knock out plug. Your dealer
or qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the bar code tag.
There are
15 alternative ignition PASS-Key I1 blanks to
help discourage theft. Keep the bar code tag and the
door key plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you will be able
to have new ones made using the plug
or bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft.
You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your keys inside and
you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
Be sure you have extra keys.

Door Locks
1 A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your door key.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
unlock the doors with the key or Keyless Entry system.
This
will avoid setting off'the alarm. Slide
the lock lever down
to lock the door from the
inside.
To unlock the door, slide the lock lever up.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with
the optional theft-deterrent system. When unlocking
either door.
you can also unlock the other door by
holding the key
in the turned position for a few seconds
or
by quickly rotating the door key twice in the lock
cylinder.
