For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the

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,

Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,

seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to an
even higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to
automatically maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale
light in the control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition is turned off.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up 6r ,down so that the top of the restraint is
closest
to the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a crash. The head
restraints tilt forward and rearward also.

In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
- Here’s why: They work.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to “Run” or “Start,” a chime will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. The safety belt
light
will also come on and stay on for about 75 seconds. If the driver’s belt is
already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on.
HOW TO WE& SAFETYBELTS PROPERLY
Adults
This section 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 section after this one, 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.

sound.
If you don’t, the adjustment feature won’t set, and you’ll have
to start again.
5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then
sit back.
If you’ve added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out as you did before and start again.
If you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder
belt, the belt will become tight again.
If this happens, you can reset it. .-

There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel. The system\

checks for electrical malfunctions, and the light tells you if there is a
problem.
You will see this light flash for a few seconds when you turn your ignition
to “Run” or “Start.” Then the light should
go out, which means the
system
is ready.
Remember,
if the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you start \
your vehicle,
or stays on, or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right \
away.
