Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for
front row and second row outboard
occupants. Although the seat belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part
of the seat belt assembly. They can help
tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
conditions for pretensioner activation are
met. Seat belt pretensioners can also help
tighten the seat belts in a side crash or a
roll-over event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a collision, the
pretensioners and probably other parts of
the vehicle seat belt system will need to be
replaced. See Replacing Seat Belt System
Parts after a Crash 0 50.
Do not sit on the outboard seat belt while
entering or exiting the vehicle or at any
time while sitting in the seat. Sitting on the
seat belt can damage the webbing and
hardware.
Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy
Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, they
are more likely to be seriously injured if
they do not wear seat belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should
be worn as low as possible, below the
rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the foetus is to
protect the mother. When a seat belt is
worn properly, it is less likely that the
foetus will be hurt in a crash. For pregnant
women, as for anyone, the key to making
seat belts effective is to wear them
properly.
Safety System Check
Periodically check the seat belt reminder,
seat belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped)
and seat belt anchorages to make sure they
are all in working order. Look for any other
loose or damaged seat belt system parts
that might keep a seat belt system from
performing properly. See your Cadillac
Service Centre to have it repaired. Torn,
frayed or twisted seat belts may not protect
you in a crash. Torn or frayed seat belts can
rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is
torn or frayed, have it replaced immediately.
If a belt is twisted, it may be possible to
untwist it by reversing the latch plate on
the webbing. If the twist cannot be
corrected, ask your Cadillac Service Centre to
fix it.
Make sure the seat belt reminder light is
working. See Seat Belt Reminders 0 90.
Keep seat belts clean and dry. See Seat Belt
Care 0 49.
