Few
automobiles
are
fortunate
enough
to
have
the
rich
heritage
that
is
Cadillace
The
name
Cadiflac
is
appropriately
that
of
Antoine
de
La
Mothe
Cadillac,
the
French
military
commander
who
founded
the
city
of
Detroit
in
1701.
What
better
name
for
the
oldest
automobile
manufacturer
in
Detroit.
Henry
M.
Leland, known as the
master of precision, initiated his pre-
cision manufacturing techniques at
the founding
of
Cadillac
in 1902. His exacting
standards prompted the
motto
by
which
Cadillac
has been guided over the
years
-
“Craftsmanship
A
Creed
-
Accuracy
A
Law.”
The introduction of
Club
of
England awarded the pres-
to Cadillac twice
. .
.
first in
1908
for achieving
perfect interchangeability
of parts and again in
1912
for introducing the elec-
tric self starter, electric
lighting and ignition
system.
Cadillac is the only
American manufacturer
the first four cylinder en- to win this honor and
the
gine in
1905
led the industry and only manufacturer in the world to win
enabled Cadillacs to travel at speeds
up to
50
mph.
For attention to quality and in-
novation, the Royal Automobile
it
twice.
As
commonplace as stan-
dardized parts are today, in
1908
parts
were still individually hand fitted
both in production and service.

.
Jtandardization opened the eyes
of
the industrial world and was the cor-
ner-sone
of
modern
production. From this achievement
evolved the reference to Cadillac as
d
“Standard of the World:’
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 Saturdav 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-
tion
V8
engine. The
V8
was stan-
dard in all
1915
model Cadillacs.
Many Cadillac “firsts” have fol-
lowed over the years, including the
synchro-mech clashless transmis-
sion,
a
nation-wide comprehensive

service policy, security plate

car to
be designed
by
a stylist
(1927
La-
Salle/Harley Earl). The
’30s
wit-
nessed production of
the
smooth
and
quiet
V12
and
The crisp, contemporary lines
or
the
1938
60
Special series ushered in a
new era in styling.
During World War
11,
shortly
after Pearl Harbor, Cadillac discon-
tinued car production for the first
time since
1902
in order to construct
light tanks, combat vehicles and
internal parts for Allison
V
1710
en-
gines. Two Cadillac
V8
engines and
Hydra-Matic transmissions were
used in each tank.

For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the
7
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-
vances such as air suspension, mem-
ory seat, automatic electric door
locks, transistor radio, a brushed
1
stainless steel roof and
low
profile
tires.
The
Eldorado,I
introduced
in
1953,
was redesigned for 1967 as the
first front wheel drive personal
lux-
ury
car. The
472
cu. in.
V8
engine
used in
all
Cadillacs
in
1968 and
1969
was enlarged to
500
cu. in. for
all
1970
Eldorados.
An Air Cushion Restraint Sys-
tem (airbag) was available for
1974,
1975
and 1976 Cadillacs.
Analog Electronic Fuel Injec-
tion was available, on
1975
Cadillacs
and was standard on
the
new inter-
national size 1976 Seville. In 1978,
the Trip Computer option incor-
porated an on-board microprocessor.

This rich tradition continues
into the
'90s
as
Cadillac
became the
first automobile manufacturer to be
awarded the prestigious Malcolm
Baldrige National
Quality
Award.
The
1992
Seville
STS
is the first
car ever to win all three major auto-
motive awards: Car of the Year,
Motor Trend; Ten Best List,
Car
&
Driver; Car of the Year, Automobile
Magazine.
A
1993
Cadillac AllantC in stock
technical configuration, was selected
as the pace car for the 76th Indianap-
olis

The demanding pace car
performance and handling require-
ments were met because of such
advanced systems

electroni-

HOW
TO
USE THIS
MANUAL
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they
first receive their new vehicle. This
will
help you learn about the features
I
and controls for your vehicle. In this manual,
you’ll
find that pictures and
words work together
to
explain things quickly.
INDEX
A
good place to look for what you need is the Index
in
back of
the manual. It’s
an
alphabetical list of all that’s
in
the manual, and the
page number where you’ll find it.
SAFETY
WMINGS
AND
SylMBOLS
You
will find a number
of
safety cautions in this book. We use yellow and
the word CAUTION to tell
you
about things that could hurt you
if
you
were to ignore the warning.
A
CAUTION:
These mean there
is
something that could hurt you or other
people.
In
the yellow caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell
you what to do to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these
cautions.
If
you don’t, you
or
others could be hurt.
You
will
also find a red circle with
a
slash through it in this
book.
This
safety symbol means “Don’t,” “Don’t do this,” or
“Don’t
let this happen.”

Khicle Damage Warnings
Also,
in this book you will find these blue notices:
In the blue notice area,
we
tell you about something that can damage
your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your
warranty, and it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what to
do
to
help avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might
see
CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or in different words. In this manual, we’ve
used the familiar words and colors that Cadillac has used
for
years.

and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.
