introduced the
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-

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.Contro1. But you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph .(40 km/h) or
more, you can. move the Cruise Control switch from “ON” to “WA”
(-Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second.

You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.

To Increase-Speed While Using Cruise Control
,- There are two waysto go,to a higher speed. Here’s the first:
0 ’ Use .the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
r
0 Push the button at the .end of the lever, then release the button and
Here’s the second way’to goto
a higher speed:
.the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
r Move the Cruise switch from “ON’ to “R/A.’’. Hold it there until you
i get up to the speed you want, and thenrelease the switch.

‘0 To increase your,speed in very small amounts, move the switch to ‘WA.”
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
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 kmk) slower.
Passing 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 accelerator 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 be too much trouble and don’t use
Cruise Control on steep hills.

Your vehicle has traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is
especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only
if
it senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or- beginning to
lose traction. When .this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power (by shutting
off fuel injectors) to limit wheel spin.
The “TRACTION ACTIVE” message will display on the Driver
Information Center when the traction control system is limiting wheel
spin. See “Driver Information Center Messages” in the Index. You may
feel the system working, or you may notice some noise, but this
is nomal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins
to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. When
road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
turn the cruise
control back on. (See “Cruise Control” in the Index.)
The “TRACTION DISABLED” message
will display on the Driver
Information Center
if there’s a problem with your traction control system.
See “D,river Information Center Messages” in the Index. When. this
message is displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you
can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can
help you more than even the very best braking.
