FIG. 1-14: HEAD RESTRAINT LATCH
• Select one of the two positions—up or
down—that places the top of the head
restraint closest to the top of your ears.
• Do not use head restraint above the up
detent position.
• Head restraint can be raised by pulling up
until you feel it click into the "detent"
position.
• To lower; release latch at base of support¬
ing rod and push down on restraint, Fig.
1-14.
• Do not operate vehicle with head re¬
straints removed, since occupants lose
the protection they provide.
Air Cushion Restraint
System
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional
Air Cushion Restraint System consult the Sup¬
plement to the 1975 Cadillac Owner's Manual
for information on ACRS function, operation
of the readiness indicator light, maintenance
requirements, and for information on child
restraint in ACRS-equipped cars.
Use of lap belts, or optional shoulder belts,
is covered in this manual.
Belt Restraint System
This vehicle is equipped with a belt system,
starter interlock, and a light-buzzer reminder
system which is designed to prevent starting
the car until outboard front seat occupants are
buckled in. Vehicles equipped with the Air
Cushion Restraint System do not have a starter
interlock or a light-buzzer reminder system.
NOTE: All 1975 model General Motors pas¬
senger cars sold in CANADA and all U.S.
models produced after the U.S. Belt Re¬
straint System Regulation was modified in
Oct. 1974 have a light-buzzer reminder sys¬
tem which reminds occupants when the
driver's and any front passenger's belt re¬
straints are not fastened. Operation of this
"BELT RESTRAINT BUZZER/LIGHT REMIN¬
DER" is explained under that heading on
page 14 in this manual. However, these cars
do NOT have a starter interlock system — a
system which prevents starting the car until
the driver and the right front passenger are
buckled up. Therefore, the information
about the starter interlock system under the
heading "TO START CAR" in this manual
does not apply, nor do any other references
to the starter interlock system in this manual
or other printed materials apply.
TO START CAR
• Belt restraints must be properly buckled
around each outboard front seat occup¬
ant after being seated before the starter
will operate.
• The reminder buzzer and light are de¬
signed to go on if belt restraints are un¬
buckled at occupied front seats while the
vehicle is underway (the engine will con¬
tinue to run).
• The engine may be restarted after a stall
without interlock interference if the
driver remains seated.
