For .the 1948 model, Cadillac introduced the legendary
tail fin which once more set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades.
This was closely
followed with the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille and the industry's first modern overhead valve, high
compression V8 engine on the 1949 model.
Engineering innovations, conveniences and styling
dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, automatic
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 advances such as air suspension, memory seat,
automatic electric door locks, transistor radio, a brushed
stainless steel roof and low profile tires.
1957 Eldorado Brougham
The Eldorado, introduced in 1953, was redesigned for
1967 as the first front wheel drive personal
luxury car.
The 472 cu. in.
V8 engine used in all Cadillacs in 1968
and 1969 was enlarged to
500 cu. in. for all 1970
through 1976 Eldorados. The Track Master
computerized skid control braking system option
debuted on 1970 Eldorados.
A driver and passenger Air Cushion Restraint
system (air bag) was available on all 1974, 1975 and
1976 Cadillacs.
Analog Electronic Fuel Injection was available, on 1975 Cadillacs and standard on
the new international
size 1976 Seville. In 1978, the Trip Computer option
incorporated the first on-board microprocessor.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special
things to know about
safety belts
and children. And there are different rules
for smaller children
and babies. If a child will be riding
in your Cadillac, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll
start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it
properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occurs
so quickly that some people may not even realize the air
bag inflated. Some components of the air bag module in
the steering wheel
hub for the driver’s air bag, or the
instrument panel for the right front passenger’s bag, will
be hot for a short time. The part
of the bag that comes
into contact with you may be warm, but it
will never be
too hot to touch. There will be some smoke and dust
coming from vents in the deflated air bags. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver from seeing or from
being able to steer the vehicle, nor will it stop people
from leaving the vehicle.
A CAUTION: I
When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems for
people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble.
To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it
is safe to do so.
If you have breathing problems but can’t get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or door.
Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors and
tum the interior lamps on when the air bag
inflates
(if battery power is available). But if you want to,
you can lock the doors again and
turn the interior lamps
off by using the door lock and interior lamp controls.
m many crashes severe enough to inflate
an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle defomation.
Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the
right front passenger air bag.
0 The air bags are designed to inflate only once. After they inflate, you’ll need some
new parts for your air
bag system. If you don’t get them, the
air bag system
won’t
be there to help protect you in another crash.
A new system will include air bag modules and
possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other
parts.
0 Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information about the
air bag system. The module records information
about the readiness
of the system, when the sensors are
activated and driver’s safety belt usage at deployment.

The square key is for the
ignition only. It has a
resistor pellet which is part
of the vehicle’s
PASS-Key% system.

The oval key is for the
doors and all other locks.
When a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes
the
plug from the door key. The plug has a code on it
that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to
make extra keys.
The ignition key has a bar code tag
attached to
it rather than a knock out plug. Your dealer
or qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the
bar code tag.
There are
15 alternative ignition PASS-Key II blanks to
help discourage theft. Keep the bar code tag and the
door key plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you will be able
to have new ones made using the plug
or
bar code tag.
I NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if
you ever lock
your keys inside and
you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
Be sure you have extra keys.

Door Locks
A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders
can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your door key.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
unlock the doors
with the key or Keyless Entry system.
This will avoid setting
off the alarm.
Slide the lock lever down to lock the door from the
inside.
To unlock the door, slide the lock lever up.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with
the optional theft-deterrent system. When unlocking
either front door, you can unlock the other doors by
holding
..ae key in the turned position for a few seconds
or by quickly rotating the door key twice in the
lock cylinder.
