How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly
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.
Don’t let it get twisted.
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.
