1997 CADILLAC SEVILLE light

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink
of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating
air bag,
it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position before and during a
crash. Always wear your safety belt., even with air
bags. The driver should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
A CAUTION:
An inflating air bag can seriously injure small
children. Always secure children properly in your
vehicle.
To read how, see the part of this manual
called “Children”
and the caution label on the
right front passenger’s safety belt.
AIR BAG
There is an air bag readiness
light
on the instrument panel,
which shows
AIR BAG.
The system checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See “Air
Bag Readiness Light” in the Index
for more information.

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.
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.
The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across
you very quickly.
If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly tu unlock it. Then pull the belt across
you
more slowly.
2. Push the latch piate into the buckle until it clicks.

If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten aqound you, you
should we it.
But
if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your
dealer will order you an extender. It’s free. When you
go
in to order it, take the heaviest coat you wili wear, so the
c
1
L-
c
extender will be long enough for you. The extender wil
be just
for you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that
you choose. Don’t let someone else
use it, and use it
only for the seat it is made to fit. To wear it, .just attach
to the regular safety belt.
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light
and
all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and
anchorages are working properly.
Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system fron?
doing its
job, have it repaired.
Torn
or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
t
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is
torn or frayed. get a new one right away.
Also look for any opened
or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does
not need regular maintenance.) If
you’ ve had a crash, do you need
new belts?
After
a very minor collision. nothing may be necessary.
But
if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn
during
a more severe crash, then you need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged. replace them. Collision
damage also nay mean you will need to have safety belt
or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs
may
be necessary even if the belt wasn’t being used at
the time
of the collision.
If
an. air bag inflates. you‘ll need to replace air bag
system parts. See
the part on the air bag system earlier in
this section.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
If you leave 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.
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.
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.
Then take the door key and remote keyless entry

any door is open, the
