introduced the

which set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades. This
was followed
by the 1949 model with
the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille
and the modern overhead valve,
high compression
V8 engine
Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,
tilt and
telescoping steering wheels, twilight
sentinel and four door hard tops all
debuted in these years. In
1957 the
Eldorado Brougham featured
ad-
vances such as air suspension, mem-
ory seat, automatic electric door
locks, transistor radio, a brushed
1
stainless steel roof and low profile
tires.
The Eldorado,I introduced in
1953, was redesigned for 1967 as the
first front wheel drive personal
lux-
ury car. The 472 cu. in. V8 engine
used in
all Cadillacs in 1968 and
1969 was enlarged to 500 cu. in. for
all
1970 Eldorados.
An Air Cushion Restraint Sys-
tem (airbag) was available for
1974,
1975 and 1976 Cadillacs.
Analog Electronic Fuel Injec-
tion was available, on
1975 Cadillacs
and was standard on
the new inter-
national size 1976 Seville. In 1978,
the Trip Computer option incor-
porated an on-board microprocessor.

ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
11 TM system senses that someone is using the wrong
I_ key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine. If
someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
.- time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellets
in an attempt to make a
match.
~ ~ .~ The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start. If the engine does not start and the
“SECURITY” light comes on, the key may be dirty
or wet. Turn the
ignition
off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try again. The
security light will remain on during this time. If the starter still won’t
and try the other ignition key. At this time, you may also want
to check
the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be faulty. See your Cadillac dealer or
a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key I1

If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work and the security light
will flash. But you don’t have
to wait three minutes before trying one
of the other ignition keys.

In very cold weather, O°F (-18OC) or colder, the engine block heater can
help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up.
To use the block heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt outlet.

A CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an
electrical shock.
Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could
overheat and cause
a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug
the cord into
a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt outlet. If
the cord won’t reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension
cord rated for at least
15 amps.

This is like a, but you never go into Overdrive.
Here are some times you might choose
“3” instead of a:
- When driving on hilly, winding roads
- When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears
- When going down a steep hill
2 (Second Gear)
This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can
use
2 on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep
mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off
and on. (6 77

This position gives
you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle
is going slowly enough.

Your instrument panel is designed to let you know at a glance how your
Cadillac is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, how much fuel
you’re using, and many of other things you’ll need
to know to drive safely
and economically.
SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph)
and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far your
vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used
in the U.S.) or kilometers

You can go back and

pushing this button.
___ The same button also makes other readings (like temperature, fuel and

Trip Odometer
You can tell how far you’ve gone since you last set it back to zero. To
reset, just push the button.
If you have the Digital speedometer and odometer, there’s one special
thing to know. You may see the trip odometer get to about
621 miles and
then return to zero. Here’s why:
If you have the system on Metric and you
set the odometer back to zero, it
will turn back to zero again after you’ve
driven 999.9 km
(621 miles). If you have changed to English during that
trip, it will still roll back to zero at 999.9 km
