Airbag System - Cadillac 2006 Owner's Manual

If a child restraint has been installed and the on
indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the child
restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the child restraint.
If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make
sure that the vehicle's seatback is not pressing the child
restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens, slightly
recline the vehicle's seatback and adjust the seat
cushion if possible. Also make sure the child restraint is
not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this
happens, adjust the head restraint.
A thick layer of additional material such as a blanket,
or aftermarket equipment such as seat covers heaters
or massagers, located between the seat cushion and
the child restraint or small occupant, can affect how
the passenger sensing system operates. Remove
any additional material from the seat cushion before
reinstalling/securing the child restraint or small occupant.
If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the
child restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle and
check with your dealer.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety
belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an
adult or larger child passenger.

Airbag System

Your vehicle has six airbags:
•
A frontal airbag for the driver and another frontal
airbag for the right front passenger,
•
a seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver
and another for the right front passenger,
•
a roof-mounted side impact airbag for the driver
and passenger directly behind the driver, and
•
a roof-mounted side impact airbag for the right front
passenger and the person seated directly behind
that passenger.
Frontal airbags are designed to help reduce the risk
of injury from the force of an inflating airbag. But these
airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job and
comply with federal regulations.
