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

NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long
run
if you follow these guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or
less for the first
500 miles (804 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
* Don’t tow a trailer during break-in. See
“Towing a Trailer” in the Index for more
information.
Avoid making hard stops for the first

the switch to five different positions.
ACCESSORY (A): This position lets you use things
like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is off.
To use the ACCESSORY position, push in
the key and turn it toward you. Your steering wheel will
remain locked, just
as it was before you inserted the key.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine LOCK (B): Before you put the key in, your ignition
will be in the
LOCK position. This is the only position
in which you can remove the key. This position locks
your ignition, steering wheel and transmission. It’s a
theft-deterrent feature.
OFF (C): This position unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition and transmission but doesn’t send electrical
power to any accessories. Turn the key
to the OFF
position if you must have your vehicle in motion while
the engine is
off.
RUN (D): This is the position for driving.
START (E): This key position starts your engine.
Note that even if
the engine is not running, the positions
ACCESSORY and RUN allow you to operate your
electrical accessories, such as the radio and ventilation fan.

NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure it
is all the way in. If it is, then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force
it could break
the key or the ignition switch.
If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
