For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the legendary
tail fin
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 stainless steel roof
and low profile
tires.
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.

A 1993 Cadillac AllantC in stock
technical configuration, was selected
as the pace car for the
76th Indianap-
olis
500. The demanding pace car
performance and handling require-
ments were met because
of such
advanced systems as the
32 valve,
dual overhead camshaft, Northstar
4.6 liter V8 engine, 4t80 E electroni-
cally controlled automatic transaxle,
road sensing suspension, speed sen-
sitive steering, antilock brakes and
traction control.
This
rich tradition continues
into the
'90s as Cadillac became the
first automobile manufacturer to be
awarded the prestigious Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Award.
The
1992 Seville STS is the first
car ever to
win all three major auto-
motive awards: Car of the Year,
Motor Trend; Ten Best List, Car
&a
Driver; Car of the Year, Automobile
Magazine.
For more than nine decades
Cadillac has been a leader
in quality
and technical innovation. Now more
than ever, substance takes shape

i': . ..
The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the back seat.
Your seatback
will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will lock in place.
There's one
time the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
That's
if your vchicle is parked going down a fairly steep hill.
To fold the seatback forward, push the seatback toward the rear as you
lift this latch. Then the seatback will fold forward. The latch must be
down
for the seat to work properly.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic
bones. And you’d be
less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid
under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious
or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the
shoulder and
across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or crash.

of thc air bag system in several places
around your vehicle.
You don’t want thc systcm to inflate while someonc
is working on your vchicle.Tl1e air bag system docs not need regular
maintenance. Your Cadillac dcalcr and the
1993 Cadillac Service Manual
have information about the air bag system, including repair or disposal.

battery disconnected, an air bag can still inflate during
improper service.
You can be injured if you are close to an air
bag when it inflates. Be sure to follow the proper service
nrocedu -
When electrical work is done under the hood or inside your vehicle, the
ignition should be
in “Lock” if possible. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape,
or yellow connectors. They are probably part of the air bag system.
Your vehicle has the driver’s air
bag only. The driver’s air bag must be
disconnected
if the ignition has to be on for electrical work or if the the
steering column is
to be disassembled. Disconnect the driver’s air bag like
this:
Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
the Index).
Disconnect the yellow connector at the base of the steering column.
