It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR), or air bag system - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 19
and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here's why: They work. You never know if you'll be in a crash. If you do have clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter ...a lot! Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. Take the simplest - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 20

in most of them in the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts -- not instead of them. Every air bag system ever offered for sale has required the use of safety belts. Even if you're in a vehicle that has air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 23
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 the part of this manual called "Children." Follow those rules for everyone's protection. 1-11 - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 24

Shoulder Belt Tightness Adjustment Your car has a shoulder belt tightness adjustment feature. If the shoulder belt seems too tight, adjust it before you begin to drive. 1. Sit well back in the seat. 2. Start pulling the shoulder belt out. 4. Let the belt go back all the way. You should hear a - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 26
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. Don't allow more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack. A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won't give nearly as much protection this way. 1-14 - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 27
Q: What's wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at the pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. Always buckle your belt - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 28
Q: What's wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 29
. In a crash, you wouldn't have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, or ask your dealer to fix it. A: The belt is twisted across the - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 30
Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don't wear safety belts. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way. Before you close the door, be sure - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 31
, just let the belt go back all the way and start again. Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System This part explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system or air bag system. Your vehicle has air bags -- one air bag for the driver and another air bag for the right front passenger - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 32
injured or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection for adults, but not for young CAUTION: (Continued) The system checks the air bag electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See "Air Bag Readiness Light" in the Index - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 33
How the Air Bag System Works The right front passenger's air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side. Where are the air bags? The driver's air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. 1-21 - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 34

If the child is - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 58
CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt's force - 2000 Cadillac Eldorado | Owner's Manual - Page 59
