If
I’m
a
good
driver,
and
1
never
drive
far from
home,
why
should
I
wear safety
belts?
A
You
may be an excellent driver, but
if
you’re in an
accident
--
even one that isn’t your fault
--
you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being
a
good driver
doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most
accidents occur within
25
miles
(40
km)
of
home.
And
the greatest number
of
serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds
of
less than
40
mph
(65
kdh).
Safety belts are for everyone.

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.
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
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.
