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.

Just close your doors, turn on the ignition and make sure the interior
courtesy lights are switched
off. Every time you move your shift lever out
of “P” (Park) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you stop and
move your shift lever into
“P” (Park), your doors will unlock. If someone
needs to get out while you’re not in
“P” (Park), have that person use the
manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to lock the door again.
Leaving Your vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, set the locks from inside, get out and close
the door.
Central Door Unlocking System (Option)
Your vehicle may be equipped with this feature. When unlocking either
door, you can unlock the other doors
by holding the key in the turned
position for a few seconds.
Illuminated Entry System
Your illuminated entry system turns on all the courtesy lights when either
door is opened. When the door is closed, the courtesy lights will stay on
for approximately
20 seconds or until the ignition is turned on.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
If your Cadillac has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or
unlock your trunk from
up to 15 feet (4.5 m) using the key chain
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System is intended
to be used as a
supplementary
vehicle entry device. It is not intended to replace, but
rather should be used in conjunction with a door lock key.
It operates on
a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine
is off. To get into “ACC”, push in the key and turn
it toward you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just
as it was
before you inserted the key.
OFF This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like
“Lock.” Use “Off” if you
must have your car in motion while the engine is off (for example, if your
car
is being pushed).
RUN: This
is the position for driving.
START
This starts your engine.

NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in ‘ xk and you can’t turn it, be sure
it
is all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and

you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with

STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification
Number
(VIN) shows the code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left
of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper steps to start the
engine.
Move your shift lever to
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use “N” (Neutral) only.

If the refrigerant system ever reaches an over-pressure condition, this
message
will appear to tell you that the air conditioning compressor has
been turned
off. Air conditioned air will not be delivered to cool your
vehicle. If the pressure returns
to a normal operating range, you must
select “AUTO”, “DEFOG”
, or Defrost to start the compressor. If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired as soon as
possible to avoid compressor damage.
BATTERY NO CHARGE
This message will appear if your battery is not being charged. Have your
electrical system checked by
your Cadillac dealership at your earliest
convenience.
BATTERY VOLTS HIGH
This message shows that the electrical charging system is overcharging,
(more than
16 volts). To avoid being stranded have the electrical system
checked by your Cadillac dealership at your earliest convenience.
You can
reduce the charging overload
by using the accessories. Turn on the lights,
radio, set the Climate Control on
“AUTO” and the fan speed on “HI”
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor battery voltage
on the Driver Information Center by toggling the “INFORMATION’’
button. When the engine is running, the normal range is
11.5 to 15.5
volts.
BATTERY VOLTS LOW
This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts, or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears
immediately after starting it is possible
that the generator can still
recharge the battery. The battery should recharge after driving a few
miles and the message should go out. If this message appears while
driving or after starting
your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause
of this problem. To help the
generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the
electrical system by turning
off your accessories. You can monitor battery
voltage
on the Driver Information Center by toggling the
“INFORMATION” button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.

3. Push the switch. A light will come on to tell you it is working.
4. Try not to use other electrical equipment while the system is working.
The system will
go off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P” (Park), the system will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, push the switch. It will go on for two minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pushing the switch again.
Use the defroster to clear the windshield. In warm weather the heated
windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior
cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar control
properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is
a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield
will reduce the
useful range
of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)
SOUND SYSTEMS
Your Delco’ sound system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the most enjoyment out of it if
you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your
Delco’ system can
do and
how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most
out
of the advanced engineering that went into it.

FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power
lines.
Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
This means your radio can produce quality AM sound comparable
to FM
stereo. AMAX’ reduces noise without reducing the high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition to improved sound quality, AMAX‘
includes more station on the AM band. You don’t have to
do anything in
your radio because AMAX‘ is automatic.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco’ system can receive C-QUAM’ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM’ to produce stereo,
though some do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark
of Motorola,
Inc.) If your Delco’ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“ST” stereo light
will come on when you’re receiving it.

I
I Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your
I
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on
your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
0 Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and
clearly.
