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.

tem (airbag) was available for
1974,

Cruise Control

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CRUISE CONTROL
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40
kmih) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below
about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts off.
Cruise Control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely
at a steady speed.
So, don’t use your Cruise Control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise Control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such
roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and
you could lose control. Don’t use Cruise
Control on slippery roads.
To Set Crucse Control
1. Move the Cruise
Control switch
to
“ON ”

To Resume a Set Speed..
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you
apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the Cruise Control. But you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 kmih) or
more, you can move the Cruise Control switch from
“ON” to ‘‘,/A? for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
I I
A CAUTION:
If you hold the switch at %/A” longer than half a second, the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or
apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control.
So
unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at “RIA.”

the accelerator pedal. Yodll now cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to go to
a higher speed:
1. Move the Cruise switch from “ON” to “R/A.’, Hold it there unru you
2. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to
get
up to the speed
you want, and then release the switch.
“R/A” Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6
km/h) faster.
4.6L (Northstar)
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set the Cruise
Control speed by pushing the
“SET CRUISE” button.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
1. Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Pussing Another Khicle while Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your
foot off
the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control
speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your
speed, load, and the steepness
of the hills. When going up steep hills, you
may have to step
on the accelcrator pedal to maintain your speed. When
going downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear to keep
your speed down.
Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise
Control.
Many drivers find this to bc too much trouble and don’t use
Cruise Control on steep hills.
