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

accident -- even one that isn’t your fault -- you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver
doesn’t protect
you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds
of less than 40 mph
(65 kmh).
Safety belts are for everyone.
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.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

the ignition only.
It has
a bar code .attached.
Your dealer or
qualified locksmith
can make extra
ignition keys by
reading the bar
code tag.
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. There are
15 alternative ignition
PASS-Key%I blanks to
help discourage theft. Keep the bar code tag and the
door key plug in a safe place.
If you lose your keys, you
will be able
to have new ones made using the plug or
number on the bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features
that can help prevent theft. But you can have a
lot of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you
have extra keys.

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter
is lost or stolen,
a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range in any location. If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.
1. Use the round end of the door key or a quarter to
rotate the cover slightly counterclockwise.
