If I'm a good driver, and 1 never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
A
You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an
accident
--
even one that isn't your fault
--
you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver
doesn't protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40
k m )
of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph
(65 k d h ) .
Safety belts are for everyone.

This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there
are
special things to know about safety
belts and children. And there are different rules
for
smaller
children and babies. If a child will be riding in your
Cadillac, see the part of this manual called "Children."
Follow those rules for everyone's protection.
First, you'll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We'll start with the driver position.
This part describes the driver's restraint system.
The driver has
a
lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to wear
it
properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see "Seats" in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
