2004 Cadillac XLR Owner's Manual - Page 39

{CAUTION: If the air bag readiness light ever comes on when you have turned off the air bags, it means that something may be wrong with the air bag system. The passenger's air bags could inflate even though the switch is off. If this ever happens, do not let anyone whom the national government has identified as a member of a passenger air bag risk group sit in the passenger's position (for example, do not secure a rear-facing child restraint in your vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-44. If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 1-27. See Top Strap on page 1-27 if the child restraint has one. There are no top strap anchors in this vehicle. Do not secure a child seat in this vehicle if a national or local law requires that the top strap be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the restraint say that the top strap must be anchored. If your child restraint does not have the latch system, you will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say. 1. Your vehicle has passenger's air bags. If you need to use a rear-facing child restraint in this seat, make sure the air bags are turned off. See Air Bag Off Switch on page 1-44. If your child restraint is forward-facing, always move the seat as far back as it will go before securing it in this seat. See Eight-Way Power Seats on page 1-2. 2. Put the restraint on the seat. 3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. 1-33
