For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the
e
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.
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.

Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key’II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key% is a
passive theft deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition. PASS-Key’II uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key% system senses that someone is using the wrong
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 -
STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM REMOVE L1
IGNITION KEY messgge is displayed 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
work, and the key appears to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes
and try the other ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check
the fuses (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-K@II.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work, you don’t have to wait three minutes before trying
one
of the other ignition keys.
See your Cadillac dealer
or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key@II
to have
a new key made.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Holding your key in “Start” for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
4. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the
way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in “Start”
for about three seconds.
If the engine starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing, but this time keep the pedal down for five or
six seconds. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle.
If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the
way the fuel injection system operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If you
don’t, your engine might not perform properly
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this
Manual that tells how to
do it without damaging your vehicle.
See “Towing
Your Cadillac” in the Index.
DMNG THROUGH DEEP STMDING
WATER
I NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your engine’s
air intake and badly
damage your engine.
If you can’t avoid deep puddles or standing
water, drive through them very slowly.

BLOCK HEATER) (OPTION)
(CANADA ONLY)
In very cold weather, O°F (-1S”C) or colder, the engine coolant heater
can help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged
in a minimum of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To use the coolant 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 fie. 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.
NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cord as
it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts.
If you
don’t, it could be damaged.
How long should
you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer
depends on the weather, the kind
of oil you have, and some other things.
Instead
of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact a Cadillac
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can
give you the best advice for that particular area.

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.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in “2” (Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8 km),
or at speeds over 55 mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your
transaxle. Use
“@” or “3” as much as possible.
Don’t shift into
“2” unless you are going slower than 65 mph
(105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.
1 (First Gear)
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.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against
a solid object. You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and
damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in
position on
a hill.

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
(used in Canada).
English Metric Button
This button is located on the Driver Information Center (DIC). You can
go back and forth from English (miles) to metric (kilometers) by pushing
this button.
The same button also makes other readings (like temperature and fuel)
go between English and Metric.
Trip Odometer Button
This button is located on the Driver Information Center (DIC). You can
tell
how far you’ve gone since you last set it back to zero. To reset, push
and hold the button until it zeros.
If your vehicle is domestic, the trip odometer will return to zero after
999.9 miles (1609 km).
If you have a Canadian vehicle the trip odometer
will return
to zero after 1999.9 km (1242 miles).
