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.

W%y Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes.
.
For example, if the
bike is going 10 mph
(16 km/h), so is the
child.
When the bike hits the
block, it stops. But the
child keeps going!

Lapshoulder 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 st\
rong 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.
