SAFETYBELT USE DURING PREGNmCY 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. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this section. When the lap portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and start again.
Lap-Shoulder Belt The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder betts. Here's how to wear one properly. > . e 1-32...

under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could caus serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child restraint properly. Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle even when no child is in it.

7. To tighten the belt, feed the lap belt back into the retractor while you push down on the child restraint. 8. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's safety belt and let go back the way.
Page 72
What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck? Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder, so that in a crash the child’s upper body would have the restraint that belts provide.
SAFETYBELT EXTENDER If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten )around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender. It’s free. When you ,go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extender will be long enough for you.

According. to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound.(82 kg) drinks three 1.2-ounce (355 person who. bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) 0f.a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka.
Page 182
The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in one hour). Of course, as we’ve seen, it depends on how much alcohoI is in the drinks, and how quickly the person drinks them. But the ability to drive is affe-cted wellbelow a BAC of 0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills.

B W N G Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. That’sperception time. Then you have to bring up your foot and do it. That’s reaction time. Average reaction time is about 3/4 of a second. But that’s only an average. It might be less with one driver and as long as two or three seconds or more with another.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help prevent a braking skid. light This instrument panel will come on briefly when you start your vehicle. When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away, you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise.
Page 186
Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with A B S . A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at the rear wheels.
Page 187
You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As you brake, your computer keeps receiving~ updates wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to thebrake pedal. If you get too close to the.vehicle ih front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
The traction control system automatica1.ly comes on whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave the system on. But you can turn the traction control system off if you ever need to. (You-should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck insand, mud, ice or snow.

That’s the time for evasive action steering around the problem. Your Cadillac can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking in Emergencies” earlier in this section.) It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space available.

RECOVERY OFF-ROAD off the edge You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.

The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a two-lane highway waits for just the right moment, accelerates, moves around the.vehicle ahead, then goes back into the right lane again. A simple maneuver? Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway is a potentially dangerous move, since the passing vehicle occupies the same lane as oncoming traffic for several seconds.
If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But take care that someone isn’t trying to pass you as you pull out to pass the slow vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder and check the blind spot.

HIGmAYHIFNOSIS Or is it just plain IS there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? falling asleep at the wheel? Call-it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of rotid with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.

Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your Cadillac in good shape for winter. Be sure your engine coolant is correct. You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk. Include an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles.
Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However, if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. You’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need to be very careful.
Watch for slippery spots:The road rnight,&e.-flne until you hit a spot that’s patches may appear in covered with ice. On otherwise clear road, shaded areas where the sun reach: around clumps of trees, behind m ’ t buildings, or under bridges. Sometimes the surface of a curve or an overpass may remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear.
