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.

Ignition Positions
I NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it,
be sure it is all the way in. If it is, then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key
hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break
the key
or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service. With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you
can turn
the switch to five different positions:
ACCESSORY (A): This position lets you use things
like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine
is off. To get into ACCESSORY, push in the key
and
turn it toward you. The steering wheel will remain
locked, just as it was before you inserted the key.
LOCK
(B): Before you put the key in, the ignition will
be in the
LOCK position. This is the only position in
which you can remove the key. This position locks the
ignition, steering wheel
and transaxle. It’s a
theft-deterrent feature.
OFF (C): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still
turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering
wheel like
LOCK. Use OFF if you must have your
vehicle in motion while the engine is off (for example, if
your vehicle is being pushed).
RUN (D): This is the position for driving.
START (E): This starts the engine.

The following accessories on your Cadillac may be used
for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned
to om:
Radio
0 Power Windows
Astroroof
Power to these accessories stops after
10 minutes or if any
door is opened.
If you want power for another 10 minutes,
turn the ignition key to RUN and then back to OFF.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position -- that’s a
safety feature.
To restart when you’re already moving,
use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Cadillac
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift
to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition
key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.
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.

2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in
START for about three seconds at a time until your
engine
starts. Wait about 15 seconds between each
try to help avoid draining your battery.
3. 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

Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps,
trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door opener. When the ignition is turned
OFF, the power to
these features will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes
(three minutes if a new car has
15 miles or less). Power
will
be restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door
is opened, the
trunk is opened or the courtesy lamp
switch is turned on.
Battery Guard Storage
This feature is for long term use and miust be
programmed through the DIC while the ignition is in the
RUN position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle in a storage mode
so that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and Remote Keyless
Entry
(RKE) will not drain the battery over a long
period
of time.
To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
and RESET buttons at
the same time for approximately
two seconds. Press the RESET button to answer
“yes” and press the INFORMATION button to indicate a “no” response. The first prompt
to appear relates to the automatic door
locks. This feature can be bypassed by pressing the
INFORMATION button. The STORAGE MODE?
prompt appears next. To select, press the
RESET button.
ENABLE STORAGE MODE? will then appear. A yes
or no response must be given. If the INFORMATION
(no) button is pressed, the DISABLE STORAGE
MODE? prompt will appear. Once again, a yes or no
response is required.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode approximately
20 minutes after the ignition key has been turned off.
The RKE will also be disabled at this point. The RKE
will reactivate when a door or the trunk is opened,
however,
if your vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes the RKE will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key
is turned out of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the
door key is inserted into the door
however, your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of
LOCK before the battery
guard is disabled.
