PENALTY OF
LEADERSHIP
I
N every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live
in the white light of publicity. VWhether the leadership be vested
in a man or in
a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at
work. TIn art. in literature, in music, in industry,
the reward and the
punishment are always the same. VThe reward is widespread recog-
nition;
the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man's
work becomes a standard
for the whole world, it also becomes a target
for the shafts of the envious few. BIf his work be merely mediocre,
he
will be left severely alone - if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million
tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at
the artist who produces a commonplace painting. VWhatsoever you
write, or paint,
or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass, or
to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.
lbng, long after a great work or a
good work has been done, those who
are disappointed or envious continue to cry out that it can not be done.
ISpiteful
little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own
Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him
its greatest artistic genius. fMultitudes flocked to Bayreuth
to worship
at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the little group of those whom he
had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at
all.
TThe little world continued to protest that hlton could never
build
a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see
his boat steam by. YThe leader is assailed because he
is a leader, and
the effort to equal him
is merely added proof of that leadership. qFailing
to equal
or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy - but
only confirms once more the superiority of that which
he strives to
supplant. (There is nothing new
in this. (It is as old as the world
and as old
as the human passions - envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the
desire to surpass. IAnd it all avails nothing. BIf the leader truly
leads, he remains -the leader. TIMaster-poet, masterpainter, master
workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through
the ages. ?That which
is goad or great makes itself known, no matter
how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live- lives.

required the use of safety belts. Even if you're in a vehicle that has ''
air bags," YOU still have to buckle up to get the most protection.
That's true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and
other collisions.
Q: IfI'm a good driver, and I never drive farfiom home, why should I wear
safety
belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an accident -- even
one that isn't your fault -- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest
number
of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has
a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing
we put on it can make it impossible
to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the imition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys
inside, it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t
do
it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take
it
with you. Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will
your ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock
the doors.
Parkina
at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them
with you.
Parkina Lots: If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
a Then take the door key with you.

The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost
all the way in the other direction,
so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from
only a few seconds to 90 seconds.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog
lamps, side marker lamps and tail lamps) meet all applicable Federal
lighting requirements, certain States and Provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lamps. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you
operate your lower beam lamps with fog lamps at all times, or that
headlamps be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers.
In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps,
especially at dawn or dusk.
It is recommended that you check with your
own State or Provincial highway authority for applicable lighting
regulations.

This option allows you
to open up to three
garage doors. The
transmitter unit fits the
overhead panel.
Your Cadillac dealer can tell you about the hand held power pack unit
and the installation you’ll need at home to make this work. If your
Cadillac is equipped with an Electriclears heated windshield,
you’ll have
to be closer to the garage door for the transmitter unit to work.
FLOOR MATS
If your Cadillac is equipped with rubber-backed front and rear floor mats,
keep them clean by vacuuming and using a spot cleaner,
if necessary. Do
not machine wash.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (STS)
Tour traction control system operates only when the system senses that
one or both
of the front wheels is spinning or beginning to lose traction
while driving. This is especially useful
in slippery road conditions. The
traction control system works at all speeds. It limits wheel spin
by using
the antilock and brake systems
to apply the front brakes and by shutting
off furl injectors to reduce engine torque.
You may be able to spin the tires when accelerating from a standstill on
dry
pavement. This is normal. The “Traction Active” message will display on the
drive’s information center when the traction control system is operating.
You may feel the system working through slight movement
of the
accelerator pedal, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal.
Your driver information center is an important source
of information about
your traction control system. See “Driver Information Center” in the Index.

3
The Road Sensing Suspension automatically controls the ride of your
vehicle. The system controls damping forces in the shock absorbers and
struts
in response to various road and driving conditions. The system is
capable of making these changes
within milli-seconds.
The Road Sensing Suspension controller is a computer used to control
and monitor
the system. The computer receives inputs from vertical
acceleration sensors, wheel to body position sensors, vehicle speed
sensor, lift and dive signals, and determines optimum strut valving or
(suspension stiffness) for your current operating conditions. The
computer also receives feedback from the various components to
determine proper system operation. If the computer receives an incorrect
feedback from the system, an error code
will be set in memory and a
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message
will display on the Driver
Information Center. If this message should appear, have your vehicle
serviced at your Cadillac dealer at your earliest convenience.
Oil Life Indicator
Your Cadillac has a Driver Information Center with an Oil Change
Indicator feature. This tells you when you need to change your engine oil.
It's based
upon the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns.
To see the display,
press the Information
button several times until
" OIL LIFE
INDEX" appears.

The system will go
off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P7’ (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 try 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 Delcoa 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 Delcos 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
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.
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.

You can set the push buttons to get up to ten favorite stations (Five on
AM and five more on FM). Just:
Choose either AM or FM
Tune in the station.
Push the SET button.
Within 5 seconds, push one of the five push buttons.
Repeat these steps for each of the five push buttons.
BASS
The slide control increases or decreases the bass response tone. Moving
the control to the right increases bass
while moving it to the left decreases
it.
TREBLE
The slide control increases or decreases the treble response tone. Moving
the control to the
right increases the treble while moving it to the left
decreases it.
Your Cassette Tape Phyer
Your cassette tape player works best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are
so thin that they may not
work well
in this player.
If you look at the tape, or on its label or box, it should say whether its
bias, (“equalization” is
70 microseconds (70 p ) or 120 microseconds (120
p ). Chrome and metal tapes are 70 p sec and standard iron tapes are 120
p sec. Your tape player will adjust automatically for either type of
cassette tape.
