The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And you'd be less likely
to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there's a sudden stop or a crash,
or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
CAUTION:
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is
too loose. In a crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.

4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.5. Pull the rest of the lap belt all the way out of the
retractor to set the lock.

Master Key Valet Key
There is a master key that works all of the lock cylinders
(driver's door, trunk, ignition and glove box).
There is also a VALET key which only operates the
driver's door and the ignition.
Your vehicle has the PASS
-Key III vehicle theft
system. Both the master and VALET key have a
transponder in the key head that matches a decoder in
the vehicle's instrument panel. If a replacement key or
any additional key is needed, you must purchase this key
from your dealer. The key will have PK3 stamped on it.
Keep the bar code tag that came with the original keys.
Give this tag to your dealer if you need a new key made.Any new PASS
-Key III key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. See ªPASS
-Key IIIº in
the Index for more information on programming your
new key.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle 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 key inside and you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in. Be sure you have an
extra key.
In an emergency, contact Cadillac Roadside Assistance.
See ªRoadside Assistanceº in the Index.
If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar system with
an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, OnStar may be able to send a command to

Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked,
the handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
Because your vehicle has the theft
-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors with the key or remote
keyless entry transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm.
From the outside, use either the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
From the inside, use the
manual lock levers located
at the top of the door panel
near the window.
Push down on the manual lock lever to lock the door.
To unlock the door, pull up on the lever.

2-8 Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle has a central door unlocking mode and a
theft
-deterrent system. When unlocking the driver's
door, you can unlock the other doors by holding the key
in the turned position for a few seconds or by quickly
turning the door key twice in the lock cylinder.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located
on the door panels near
the windows.
Press the down arrow (LOCK) on the power door lock
switch located on either front door to lock all of the
doors at once. Press the top of the switch to unlock
all of the doors at once.The power door lock switches located on the rear doors
can also lock all the doors at once by pressing the
bottom part of them, but they cannot unlock the doors.
Automatic Door Locks
Your vehicle is programmed so that when the doors are
closed, the ignition is on and the shift lever is moved
out of PARK (P), all the doors will lock. The doors will
unlock every time you stop the vehicle and move the
shift lever back into PARK (P).
If someone needs to get out while your vehicle is not
in PARK (P), have that person use the manual lever or
power door lock switch. When the door is closed again,
it will not lock automatically. Use the manual lever or
power lock switch to lock the door.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
With the vehicle in PARK (P) and the ignition in ON,
the door locks can be programmed through prompts
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
These prompts allow the driver to choose various lock
and unlock settings. For programming information,
see ªVehicle Programming and Personalization Featuresº
in the Index.
