Replacing Safety Belt System Parts After A Crash; Airbag System - Cadillac CTS 2013 Owner's Manual

Replacing Safety Belt
System Parts after a
Crash
WARNING
A crash can damage the safety
belt system in the vehicle.
A damaged safety belt system
may not properly protect the
person using it, resulting in
serious injury or even death in a
crash. To help make sure the
safety belt systems are working
properly after a crash, have them
inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as
possible.
After a minor crash, replacement of
safety belts may not be necessary.
But the safety belt assemblies that
were used during any crash may
have been stressed or damaged.
See your dealer to have the safety
belt assemblies inspected or
replaced.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the safety belt
system was not being used at the
time of the crash.
Have the safety belt pretensioners
checked if the vehicle has been in a
crash, or if the airbag readiness light
stays on after you start the vehicle
or while you are driving. See Airbag
Readiness Light on page 5 17.
WARNING
Safety procedures must always
be observed when disposing of
the vehicle or vehicle parts.
Disposal should only be
performed by an authorised
service centre, to help protect the
environment and your health.
