Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster

The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for the

driver and right front passenger seating positions.

Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of the belt is

on the shoulder and not falling off of it. The belt should

be close to, but not contacting, the neck. Improper

shoulder belt height adjustment could reduce the

effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. See How to

Wear Safety Belts Properly on page 2‑15.

Press the release

button (A) and move the

height adjuster to the

desired position. The

adjuster can be moved up

by pushing up on the

shoulder belt guide.

After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to

move it down without pressing the release button to

make sure it has locked into position.

Safety Belt Pretensioners

This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for front

outboard occupants. Although the safety belt

pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of the

safety belt assembly. They can help tighten the safety

belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe

frontal or near frontal crash if the threshold conditions

for pretensioner activation are met. And, if your vehicle

has side impact airbags, safety belt pretensioners can

help tighten the safety belts in a side crash.

Pretensioners work only once. If the pretensioners

activate in a crash, they will need to be replaced, and

probably other new parts for the vehicle's safety belt

system. See Replacing Restraint System Parts After a

Crash on page 2‑69.
