master of precision, initiated his pre-
cision manufacturing techniques at
the founding of Cadillac

Cadillac is the only
American manufacturer
to win this honor and the
only manufacturer in the world
to win
it twice. As commonplace as stan-
dardized parts are today, in 1908 parts
were still individually hand fitted
both in production and service.

In 1909 Cadillac was purchased
by the then new General Motors
Corporation. Convenience, clean-
liness and all-weather comfort were
greatly enhanced in
1910 when Cad-
illac became the first manufacturer
to offer closed bodies as standard
equipment.
“The Penalty of Leadership”
first appeared in the January
2, 1915
issue of The Saturday Evening Post
as an expression of the Cadillac com-
mitment
to leadership, quality, and
innovation.
It is widely regarded as
one of the finest documents ever
written and was published following
the introduction of the first produc-

The control panel is located in the center console.
Move the switch to either
LO or HI to turn on the heating element in the
seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to a
slightly higher temperature.
To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatically
maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale light in the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is
in use. To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition
is turned off.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury
in a crash.
The head restraints
tilt forward and rearward also.

Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See
“Safety Belt Reminder Light”

sound. If you don't, the adjustment feature won't set, and you'll have
to start again.
5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then
sit back.
If you've added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out as
you did before and start again.
If you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder
belt, the belt will become tight again. If this happens, you can reset it.
