Cadillac XT4 2023 - Front Seat); Securing Child Restraints

Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
98 Seats and Restraints
If the head restraint was
removed, reinstall it before the
seating position is used. See
"Head Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation" under Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 0 86
for additional information on
installing the head restraint
properly.
Securing Child
Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the
Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags.
A rear seat is a safer place to
secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See Where to Put
the Restraint 0 85.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn
off the front outboard
passenger frontal and
knee airbag under certain
conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System 0 72 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0 125 for more
information, including
important safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child
seat in the front. This is
because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
{
Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the
inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a
forward position.
(Continued)
Warning (Continu ed)
Even if the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger airbag(s), no
system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance,
even though the airbag(s)
are off.
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag(s) are off.
If you secure a
forward-facing child
restraint in the front
outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better
to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
See Passenger Sensing
System 0 72 for additional
information.
