Restraint System Check; Checking The Restraint Systems - Cadillac 2006 CTS-V Owner's Manual

Q:
Because I have a disability, I have to get my
vehicle modified. How can I find out whether
this will affect my airbag system?
A:
Changing or moving any parts of the front seats,
safety belts, the airbag sensing and diagnostic
module (located under the center console), or the
inside rearview mirror can affect the operation of
the airbag system. If you have questions, call
Customer Assistance. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in Step Two
of the Customer Satisfaction Procedure in this
manual. See Customer Satisfaction Procedure on
page 7-2.

Restraint System Check

Checking the Restraint Systems

Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and
anchorages are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from doing
its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt
is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Also look for any opened or broken airbag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The airbag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Notice: If you damage the covering for the driver's
or the right front passenger's airbag, or the airbag
covering on the driver's and right front passenger's
seatback, or the side impact airbag covering on the
ceiling near the side windows, the bag may not work
properly. You may have to replace the airbag module
in the steering wheel, both the airbag module and the
instrument panel for the right front passenger's
airbag, the airbag module and seatback for the
driver's and right front passenger's seat-mounted
side impact airbags, or side impact airbag module
and ceiling covering for the roof-mounted side
impact airbag. Do not open or break the airbag
coverings.
