In 1909 Cadillac was purchased
by the then new General Motors
Corporation. Convenience, clean-
liness and all-weather comfort were
greatly enhanced in 1910 when Cad-

to offer closed bodies as standard

issue of The Saturdav Evenine Post

of the Cadillac com-

It is widely regarded as
one of the finest documents ever
written and was published following
the introduction of the first produc-
tion V8 engine. The V8 was stan-
dard in all 1915 model Cadillacs.

The control panel is located in the center console.
Move the switch to
either
LO or HI to
turn on the heating
element in
the 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.

This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here’s why: They work.
You never know
if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are
in between.
In many
of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In
most crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!

required the use of safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has
air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most protection. That’s
true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and other
collisions.
Q: IfIh a good driver, and I never drive farfrom home, why should I wear
safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident -- even
one that isn’t your fault
-- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being
a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than
40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
When the key is turned to “Run” or “Start,” a light will come on for
about
75 seconds and a chime for about 8 seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’s safety belt is already buckled,
then neither the light or chime will come on.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which has
“INFL REST.” or “INFLATABLE RESTRAINT” on it. The system
checks for electrical malfunctions, and the light tells you
if there is a
problem.
INFLATABLE
RESTRAINT
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.
