Few automobiles are fortunate enough to have the rich heritage
that is Cadillac. The name Cadillac is appropriately that of
Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac, the French military commander
who founded the city of Detroit in 1701. What better name for
the oldest automobile manufacturer in Detroit.
Henry M. Leland, known as the master of precision,
initiated his precision manufacturing techniques at the
founding of Cadillac in 1902. His exacting standards
prompted the motto
by which Cadillac has been guided
over the years
- “Craftsmanship A Creed - Accuracy
A Law.”
The introduction
of the first four cylinder engine in 1905
led the industry and enabled Cadillacs to travel at speeds
up to
50 mph.
For attention to quality ana Innovation,
the Royal
Automobile Club of England awarded the prestigious
Dewar Trophy to Cadillac twice . . . first in 1908 for
achieving perfect interchangeability of parts and again
for introducing the electric self starter, electric lighting
and ignition system on 191
2 models. Cadillac is the
only American manufacturer to win this honor and
the only manufacturer
in the world to win it twice. As
commonplace as standardized parts are today, in 1908
parts were still individually hand fitted both in
production and service.

Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac
Air bags affect how your Cadillac should be serviced.
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. Your
Cadillac dealer and the Cadiliac service manual have
information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system.
To purchase a service manual, see “Service and
Owner Publications” in the Index.
A CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service.
You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow connectors. They
are probably part of
the air bag system. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you
is qualified to do so.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.
