PENALTY OF
LEADERSHIP
I
N every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live
in the white light of publicity. VWhether the leadership be vested
in a man or in
a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at
work. TIn art. in literature, in music, in industry,
the reward and the
punishment are always the same. VThe reward is widespread recog-
nition;
the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man's
work becomes a standard
for the whole world, it also becomes a target
for the shafts of the envious few. BIf his work be merely mediocre,
he
will be left severely alone - if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million
tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at
the artist who produces a commonplace painting. VWhatsoever you
write, or paint,
or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass, or
to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.
lbng, long after a great work or a
good work has been done, those who
are disappointed or envious continue to cry out that it can not be done.
ISpiteful
little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own
Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him
its greatest artistic genius. fMultitudes flocked to Bayreuth
to worship
at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the little group of those whom he
had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at
all.
TThe little world continued to protest that hlton could never
build
a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see
his boat steam by. YThe leader is assailed because he
is a leader, and
the effort to equal him
is merely added proof of that leadership. qFailing
to equal
or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy - but
only confirms once more the superiority of that which
he strives to
supplant. (There is nothing new
in this. (It is as old as the world
and as old
as the human passions - envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the
desire to surpass. IAnd it all avails nothing. BIf the leader truly
leads, he remains -the leader. TIMaster-poet, masterpainter, master
workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through
the ages. ?That which
is goad or great makes itself known, no matter
how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live- lives.

introduced
the
which set the trend in autonlotive
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.

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
7976 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 Allant6 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, antilock brakes and
traction control.
For more
than nine decades
Cadillac has been a leader in quality
and technical innovation.

The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit up
straight.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.

You can move the
shoulder belt adjuster
to the height that is
right for
you.
To move it up or
down, squeeze the
release handle. When
you release the
handle, try to
move it
down
a little to make
sure it has locked into
position.
You can move the
adjuster up from a
lower position by
pushing the bottom
of the release handle.

Servicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the
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.
When electrical work
is done under the hood or inside your vehicle, the
ignition should be
in “Lock” if possible. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape, or yellow connectors. They are probably part
of the air bag system.
Your vehicle has the driver’s air bag only. The driver’s air bag must be
disconnected
if the ignition has to be on for electrical work or if the the
steering column is
to be disassembled. Disconnect the driver’s air bag like
this:
Turn off the ignition.

should
be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt
in a
crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts
effective is wearing them properly.
RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this part.
When the lap portion
of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it
does, let it go back all the way and start again.
