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.

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
500. The demanding pace car
performance and handling require-
ments were met because of such
advanced systems
as the 32 valve,
dual overhead camshaft, Northstar
4.6 liter V8 engine, 4t80 E electroni-
cally controlled automatic transaxle,
road sensing suspension, speed sen-
sitive steering, anrilock brakes and
traction control.

Cadillac has been
a leader in quality
and technical innovation. Now more
than ever, substance takes shape

The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the back seat.
Your seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
That’s
if your vehicle is parked going down a fairly steep hill.

The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic
bones. And you'd be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid
under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should
go over the
shoulder and across the chest. These parts
of the body are best able to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there's a sudden stop or crash.
Shoulder Belt Tightness Adjustment (Sedan De Ville)
Your Sedan De Ville has a shoulder belt tightness adjustment feature. If
the shoulder belt seems too tight, you can adjust it like this:

injure the driver if the air bag inflates.
The air bag is designed to inflate only once. After it inflates,
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 the
air bag module and possibly other parts. The service manual
has information about the need to replace other parts.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag system.
Improper service can mean that your air bag system won’t
work properly. See your dealer for sewice.

Sewicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the c)
air bag system. There are parts of the air bag system in several places
around your vehicle.
You don’t want the system to inflate while someone
is working on your vehicle. The air bag system does not need regular
maintenance. Your Cadillac dealer and the
1993 Cadillac Service Manual
have information about the air bag system, including repair or disposal.

A CAUTION:
For up to 2 minutes after the ignition key is turned off and the
battery disconnected, an
air bag can still inflate during
improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air
bag when it inflates.
Be sure to follow the proper service
procedures.
When electrical work is
done under the hood or inside your vehicle, the
ignition should be in “Lock” if possible.
