For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the
e
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 stainless steel
roof and low profile
tires.
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.

RANGE Display This display shows how far the computer thinks you can
go with the fuel that is in your tank. The computer does not know what
driving conditions will be like for the rest
of your trip, so the range is
estimated based on your recent fuel economy. Therefore, your range
reading may change
as your driving habits change (going from city to
If the range display shows “Lo”, you should stop for fuel as soon as
possible.
Your computer needs enough data for the “RANGE” reading to work. It
will read
“Lo” for a while when your vehicle is brand new (under 25
miles). Also, it may show “Lo” for a while if your battery has been
disconnected.

receives an incorrect feedback from the system, an error code
will be set
in memory and a “SERVICE RIDE CONTROC’ message will display on
the Driver Information Center. If this message should appear, have your
vehicle serviced at your Cadillac dealer at your earliest convenience.
Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change your engine oil. It’s based
upon the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns.
To see the display, press the Information button several times until
“XXX
OIL LIFE LEFT” appears.
You’ll
see how much oil life you have left, as a percentage. So, if you see
“95 OIL LIFE LEFT,” for example, that means that the way you’re
driving your car,
95% of your current oil life is still left.
The Oil Life Indicator may say
to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule. This can happen
if driving conditions, such as
short trips
in cold weather, cause shorter oil life. Always keep a written
record of the mileage and date when you last changed your oil. For more
information on when to change your oil, see the Cadillac Maintenance
Schedule Booklet.
If you
see “CHANGE OIL SOON,” it means that you have less than 10%
of your oil life left, and you should consider changing your engine oil.
If you see “CHANGE ENGINE OIL,’’ it means the oil
life is gone and
you should change the oil right away (certainly within 200 more miles
[320 km]).
