Cadillac 2007 DTS, Owner'S Manual

CAUTION: (Continued)
If you need to secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the right front seat,
always move the front passenger seat as
far back as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.
The passenger sensing system is designed to turn
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag if:
•
The right front passenger seat is unoccupied.
•
The system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat.
•
The system determines that a small child is
present in a forward-facing child restraint.
•
The system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat.
•
A right front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time.
•
The right front passenger seat is occupied by
a smaller person, such as a child who has
outgrown child restraints.
•
Or if there is a critical problem with the airbag
system or the passenger sensing system.
When the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact airbag, the off
indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that
the airbags are off.
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 following the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions and refer to
Securing a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position on page 62 .
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.
